I want to use bitcoin core to creat an offline wallet and bitcoin address to receive coins.Some one tell me how?
I only knew how to use bitcoin core to sign transaction offline.But is bitcoin core could ever creat offline address and private key?
Boot into a linux OS using a live CD, use another thumbdrive to transfer the bitcoin core file offline and then run it. It will automatically generate a Bitcoin address. Export a wallet backup and encrypt with password. Then, you can put the wallet backup in the thumbdrive. When you need to access it, just boot from live CD and import the backup. I really wouldn't recommend this since its a hassle to create and send bitcoins. The best solution is to use bitaddress.org offline and generate an address and print the private key. If your computer or thumbdrive gets damaged, you may never recover your bitcoin. Paper is likely to last longer than a thumbdrive. Try laminating it.
