Title: Re: Can somebody explain me step by step how can I make paper wallet? Post by: ChuckBuck on March 17, 2015, 07:17:42 PM 1)Download the zip file from BitAddress: https://www.bitaddress.org
2)Unplug PC ethernet or disable wireless network connection so PC is completely offline. 3)Extract zip file onto a folder on the desktop, then double click on the bitaddress.org file inside this folder to launch bitaddress offline website. 4)Mouse around and type letters into the textbox until your public and private keys and QR codes are generated. 5)Once generated, click on Paper Wallet and 3 wallet addresses with both public and private keys available to use. Highly recommended to plug into a printer via USB to print your Paper Wallets, then you should be able to fund them safely. 6)Once funded, place them in a zip lock bag or air tight plastic bag or laminated paper to water proof. 7)Close out of the offline BitAddress site, and restore your internet connection 8)Stick them in fire proof safe or keep a few for spending.

No need to save the entire website to thumb drive for offline wallet creation. Title: Re: Can somebody explain me step by step how can I make paper wallet?

Thank you very much, I will try this with my old printer that can't connect internet for driver. New printers can connect internet for driver and some of them connect for social media photos. Old printers are more safer as you told. Thank you again. No problem! As long as you download this first https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org/archive/v2.9.8.zip and launch on offline PC, there really should be no "eyes" on your screen, and you should be able to safely generate your paper wallet.

Should I lock my housemate in his room? :) Hahah, that is true! You'll be free from "Internet Eyes", but hopefully your housemate doesn't have a photogenic or eidetic memory and isn't snooping around. :D Title: Re: Can somebody explain me step by step how can I make paper wallet? Post by: Beliathon on March 18, 2015, 12:52:55 AM Can somebody explain me step by step how can I make paper wallet? Step 1: Find a suitable treeI know some methods but I just want to learn which method do you prefer? Thanks. Step 2: Chop down the tree Step 3: Make paper from the wood Step 4: Apply bitcorns to paper Step 5: HODL! Step 6: Profit. Step 7: Apply sunglasses to face Title: Re: Can somebody explain me step by step how can I make paper wallet? Post by: Muhammed Zakir on March 18, 2015, 03:36:45 AM My suggestions:
1)Download the zip file from BitAddress: https://www.bitaddress.org If you are using Bitaddress, you will find https://github.com/cantonbecker/bitcoinpaperwallet a little better. It is a fork of Bitaddress.org but it is created just for paper wallet and have same features. 2)Unplug PC ethernet or disable wireless network connection so PC is completely offline. 3)Extract zip file onto a folder on the desktop, then double click on the bitaddress.org file inside this folder to launch bitaddress offline website. Okay. 4)Mouse around and type letters into the textbox until your public and private keys and QR codes are generated. If you have special characters on your keyboard, to get extra entropy, type special characters too. See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=43496.msg10331992#msg10331992 5)Once generated, click on Paper Wallet and 3 wallet addresses with both public and private keys available to use. Highly recommended to plug into a printer via USB to print your Paper Wallets, then you should be able to fund them safely. 6)Once funded, place them in a zip lock bag or air tight plastic bag or laminated paper to water proof. Okay. 7)Close out of the offline BitAddress site, and restore your internet connection I would also suggest wiping browser data(history+cache+AppData etc...). 8)Stick them in fire proof safe or keep a few for spending. One or two for long-term storage and a few other for daily spending is good. It is easy to spend from a paper wallet, if you use one of these: • Andreas Schildbach's Bitcoin Wallet(Highly recommended). https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.schildbach.wallet&hl=en • Bitcoin Paper Wallet. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.valle.btc&hl=en • Mycelium Bitcoin Wallet. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycelium.wallet&hl=en Title: Re: Can somebody explain me step by step how can I make paper wallet?

Post by: kenbytes on March 30, 2015, 05:04:00 AM If you want the ultimate in security and paranoia then download a copy of bitaddress.org and open it on a new virtual machine that has never been connected to the internet. Produce some paper addresses and send coins to them. Store copies of the paper wallet in multiple secure locations.

Post by: ChuckBuck on April 08, 2015, 02:08:44 PM Until now , I do not know what is paper wallet. Hope that I can understand it from everyone's answer Paper wallets are Bitcoin wallets made out of paper containing your public wallet address, QR code and funded with your Bitcoins for storing or spending. https://i.imgur.com/s4kv4.jpg https://bitcoinpaperwallet.com/images/front-back-sample-big.jpg https://bitcoinhelp.net/img/spw-paper-wallet-example.png Ideally, you'd want the private key....private. Otherwise, someone else can have control over your stash. |
