We are however, not sure that your program doesn't have any hidden malware.
Blockchain.info may be used to monitor addresses.

Serioussly this really good guide for newbie in bitcoin 
But if you want to really secure as possible you can buy a cheap laptop that and make it just for bitcoin wallet , if the wear on the computer that you often play could have been attacked by a virus and lose all bitcoin.

Yes, well i use an offline PC, because a laptop has wi-fi by default, which could be hacked i guess so I just dont want to risk it. My old PC is from 2003 and works very well as a bitcoin container.

Your tutorial is good for people who give some time here, as you need to be a bit more lenient I feel as not everyone who hops here is a tech geek and so, a bit easy language should be used, even if gets a bit more detailed then that would be awesome...

Well i think my tutorial is pretty easy to understand. I think my e-book is pretty detailed, so check that out:

No problem, its my contribution to the bitcoin community.

Yes, i should also add it there , that it should be noted that some OS' could track your private keys and log it, so either use linux for that, or always boot a virtual OS from a USB stick.

I`ll add a tutorial about that later.

[goldkey0070]

i think the key might be stored in the ram ,i do know some malicious softwares live in the ram...

Yes, but if its offline then that doesnt matter. What matters is if the windows keeps a log file on the private key, and it can sneak out somehow.

And even if it cant, because my tutorial wont let it, as we will format the USB stick very frequently.

It can remain there and when you sell your old PC, somebody could find it and see it there and access your coins.

[goldkey0070]

haha , never thought of that,did you hear about that guy that throughout 200,000 dollars worth of bitcoin in the garbage and he scoured the dump for a year with no luck !!!

[GreenStox]

Nice tut, I was thinking of buying a Trezor but just went along with some 17 char encrypted paper wallets made from the github version of offline bitaddress booted on an ubuntu CD

Trezor is great and everything, but it costs 120$

This is free, and you actually have everything in your own hands

We don't know what's what in the Trezor wallet, Armory however is open source

That's pretty cool, keep helping our newbies

I`m not sure about the safety of Trezor. This tutorial is pretty much my methodology, I am currently now using this method and so far my coins haven't been stolen, despite the computer I`m on now had some viruses (so i use Bitdefender 2015 to counter it, but its not enough)

So yea, the best defense is self defense, don't rely on third party ! Good luck!

You could ask in Meta.  But I highly doubt it becomes a sticky. 

If you have to bump you own thread up and ask yourself for sticky, those are two indicators it is not needed as sticky.

I will, but maybe there are no moderators here reading it. I havent saw any moderator here for a long time so who knows.
