I was reading about paper wallets but what seems to be the problem here is losing change. Am I right? How does one avoid it?

Why dont you try papee wallet.Theu are more secure unless you live in a disaster prone area.
You can create one at blockchain for free.

So I grabbed a few BTC and I want to put them into cold storage for a while. I have been browsing and I think that a wallet that gives me a 12 word seed phrase would be best. I am thinking about Electrum. Would you guys agree or do you have any better (if possible free) alternatives?

Thank you!

Whether or not electrum is for you depends on your needs. If you are just looking for cold storrage electrum should be fine. It does not require much in terms of hardware and is quickly installed and ready to use. I would suggest you use electrum 2.x.x (currently 2.5.1(2) AFAIK), which works with 13+ words as seed.

Great, thank you!

Electrum is good to go.I would also write down the keys somewhere and hide it safe.It is better to have 2-3 different methods of saving your coins in cold storage. I also recommend to safe the wallet.dat at least two times if you use usb or external hard disk drives.

Thank you for the tip. But why should I save the wallet.dat? Wouldn't the seed phrase bring back my coins?

Thanks but Virvox has a better rate.. Yeah I know that chargebacks are possible via Paypal but since I get most of my cash there, I will find something. Thanks anyways!

I am willing to exchange but only up to 10$ @ 25%fee

Thank you for all the fast info and good wishes Smiley Hardware specs, a few years old laptop with an SSD, so I am chalking things up to hardware specs.

So I will either wait for a few more nights to get this up and running or try the wallet.dat tip and see if that will work.

Which wallet do you guys suggest as being the safest and cost effective solution? I plan on investing a small chunk of my income into bitcoin so I hope to accumulate quite a few of them in the long run Smiley

Hi guys,

So I fired up my wallet after like two years and it says that it needs to update 700+ days of blocks to get up to speed with the network. I have left my computer running through the night and thought that it will be all done.. But nope, it has over 500 days left..

Is this normal?

I am getting back into BTC after, as you can see, quite some time and I think I have some money left in my wallet that is why I want to get it updated..

Thanks!

Hi guys,

I am looking to buy some BTC with my Paypal money. I am new here so my rep is non existent so escrow is not a problem. PM me or post here and let's make some deal happen.

Thanks!
