Title: Question about my wallet. Post by: Incogious on May 10, 2013, 05:18:42 PM Hello everyone, I have browsed this forum looking for a answer but finally decided to sign up to see if anyone can help me. I have around 4 Bitcoin that I want to put into storage for a long time. How would I go about this, to make sure they are secure. I was thinking about doing something like those Physical coins. Putting each coin on a bit of paper, but how would I do that.
Thanks. Title: Re: Question about my wallet. Post by: OnkelPaul on May 10, 2013, 05:23:34 PM What you're looking for is a "paper wallet".
