I don't follow. Do you use Multibit? Was your wallet created offline/out of sync and later sent bitcoins to its address and sync it?

thanks again, I will try and make some tests

Thanks I may end up using one, but I don't want to put all eggs in the same basket, and I would be interested in the Multibit option if it is safe.

Hi,

Im new on the boards and Im interested in knowing if it is a good idea to generate a wallet with Multibit on an offline computer for cold storage. I tried searching for the answer but I could only find that Multibit wasnt designed for cold storage.

The process would be this:

-install Multibit on an offline computer and run it.
-encrypt the wallet with a passphrase.
-make backups exporting the private keys.
-copy the address and send bitcoins there from and online wallet
-if I ever want to move the bitcoins stored, import the private keys in an online computer with Multibit and sync

What do you reckon? Is it a safe procedure? Will the bitcoins be available once I sync?

Thanks for the help
