so i got a couple Question i'm going to be making my first wallet wanted to add about $500 so i decided to make a paper wallet using bitaddress.org
1) if i set up a encrypted B something with a password not sure why i'm setting a password to like how would he be able to not use my key without knowing my password sorry not sure how to ask this question but hopefully someone knows?
2) was thinking to making a blockchain.info with 2fa just because I buy small things like tools etc and some except btc so i wanted to add and wanted to know if i should put my paper wallet import and use it with blockchain.info.
3) this is just a question about whats sounds smarter to get in obviously the smaller amount but what do you think should be more likely of hitting 4600 or 5600 are my prices im thinking about getting in.
THANKS GUYS

Hey guys im done with Electrum went to there IRC chat and found 2 bugs that had to do with security flaws and another being not able to re-secure your wallet after recovering it to many bugs wasn't worth saving btc on it.
Care to elaborate what these bugs are? ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) I'm sure a lot of people (like myself) would be very interested in potential issues... Electrum is a very popular wallet. Did you post about them on the Electrum GitHub issues list: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues ? I found out one big bug which was when recovering back your wallet and you lost your authenticator there is no way to set a new one which makes you able to get your wallet back but no re-secured. The other buy was a minor code bug.

Basically you need to import the privatekey from the paperwallet into any bitcoin client you want to use the funds on it. Blockchain.info and a paperwallet, are 2 seperate things. You can import your privatekey to blockchain.info and use the corresponding address.
You can then use 2fa on your blockchain.info account, but it's in no means an extra layer of security for your paper wallet. Anyone who possesses that privatekey has access to the funds.
2fa just makes sure people can't get into your blockchain.info account.
I understand that so I just wanted to use 2fa so that no one can get into my account and put a encryption and password on the paperwallet.

So I need you guys to help me so I was thinking to get a paper wallet if i wanted to use it with blockchain.info i have to do what steps on doing that and do i have to keep putting the key from paper wallet to the exchange everytime i wanna use it? Also I think i am able to put a 2fa on blockchain.info on top with the paper wallet key if im wrong please correct me but is this a good idea to save less then $700 on BTC for long term. Thanks

Reason Why im thinking about switching to blockchain.info is because I had a problem recently with getting a new phone and restoring my wallet back but now I can't make a new 2fa with that wallet i restored what is the point of restoring it if i can't re secure it. https://gyazo.com/194e4bb55c6ce78fb14b8aec84f8bd79All i have is about $500 in bitcoin and thinking about going back to Blockchain.info and using 2fa what you guys think.

Hey I have a couple questions about my software wallet called Electrum
1) how do back up my electrum 2fa wallet
2) does everyone have a mining fee with the transaction fee when sending btc?
3) this might be a dumb question but is the price going to drop because not sure when i should buy btc i have about $1000 saved up and want to invest into it can someone tell me how it works lets say ex current price is 15k how much would i have made if i invested 1k with the current price thanks.

okay yeah i understand that but if i reopen my wallet and i make a new 2fa ? or will i be set to the same phone?
|
|
|
so i can use this 2fa but keep the seeds safe the 12 words correct and i can just redo the 2fa am i right or wrong?

I just wanted to just ask this 3 questions as im still kinda confused
1) so I signed up with Electrum and i put a 2fa so i just wanted to know does everyone have a mining fee and a additional fee?
2) question what if since i use 2fa and it uses google authenticator what if i lose my phone for example or get a new phone whatever but i forgot to transfer my app to the new phone not sure if it helped but i wrote down the google authenticator code down not sure what it does but does it help?
3) If i can't access electrum anymore can i see the seed on blockchain.info for example or whatever exchange if electrum isn't support which is 99.9% probably not going to happen.
Thanks im just new just want some info.
