You may check this paper wallet generator project that uses a thermal printer, it has a startup cost in time and money (getting a rasp pi, a thermal printer, setup time...) but then creating paper wallets will be safe (cold, offline), easy and fast (just type a command in the terminal and hit enter), see:  http://paperbank.it and let me know what you think about it or if you have suggestion on how to improve the project. Thanks.

Looks like fun project! But is there a danger that the thermal printed paper wallet fades over time?

It is possible that solar activity has bigger influence on Earth's climate than we expected earlier:

"Clinicians working in Liberia have informed WHO that 2 doctors and 1 nurse have now received the experimental Ebola therapy, ZMapp.
The nurse and one of the doctors show a marked improvement. The condition of the second doctor is serious but has improved somewhat.
According to the manufacturer, the very limited supplies of this experimental medicine are now exhausted."

I think the important point is the fact that the medicine/antidote works. With it working it is possible to make more of this medicine in order to treat more people who have contracted this disease. As it stands now, anyone who contracts this disease is almost certain to die from it so any medical advancement is good news.

Unfortunately nobody can yet say does it work or not (and what possible harmful side effects it has). It has now tested only with five humans. And about 50 % of patiens will survive anyway (without ZMapp).

I have a question that why people scare to show their identity if they are doing legal? Why people do not use real identity??? It makes here a more trustable market!!

In crypto world, you want to share as less identity is possible to reduce hacker and scam Smiley

The situation is same in "real world" too. Sharing your identity is just stupid.

Well, you can try faucets, a sig. campaign, or try selling services online.

I have some nice faucet links (with my ref) in my signature. If you want to be mean, here are direct links to faucets. No ref link.

freebitco.in
primedice.com

For convenience here's my links:

freebitco.in
primedice.com


Out of these options I would focus on primedices referral system.  Cheesy

Primedice campaign has changed so that no ranks below senior are allowed to participate. So no luck for a newbie.

Edit: Only the rules of the signature campain have changed so reflinks are still ok for newbies

In the past one or two weeks, there has been a huge increase in the detection of new cases:

WHO update for 14-16 August 2014 (72 hours):

http://www.who.int/csr/don/2014_08_19_ebola/en/

113 new cases.

WHO update for 17-18 August 2014 (72 hours):

http://www.who.int/csr/don/2014_08_20_ebola/en/

221 new cases.  Angry

Huge increase in new cases from Liberia.

WHO just published the new numbers:

http://www.who.int/csr/don/2014_08_22_ebola/en/

Between 19 and 20 August 2014, a total of 142 new cases (again most of them in Liberia).

So it looks like it is spreading at slightly slower speed now,  althought the numbers are so small and inaccurate that no reliable conclusion can be drawn.

Yup, clearly, a connected device will never reach paper wallet security

until you want to spend it  Kiss

(that should be a new meme ...)


Create a transaction offline, sign offline, broadcast

Over  Wink

But in real life, I have used your solution to sweep a private key  Wink

Even with offline transactions though, you have to move a USB stick between offline and online computers, creating a possible vulnerability, correct?

Correct. A malware can change the firmware of the stick in such way that it do nasty things when connected to another computer. For more detailed technical explanation please see https://srlabs.de/badusb/
