Hey,
Basically, I'm producing a piece of documentation for a university degree project aiding businesses adopting Bitcoin telling them literally everything they need to know. The wallet client I'm recommending is Electrum, because I just personally love its simplicity, light-weightedness and un-cluttered GUI. It's just great, and I personally use it myself. Anyway, I know how to sign transactions from a cold storage using a USB flash drive (I utilise this quite often myself for personal use), but how the hell do you do it with paper?
On the watching only wallet: Tools > Load transaction > From text, obviously. But what goes in that box? I'm just not sure what I need to write down from the unsigned transaction to put in that box you know...
I'd like to be able to include how to use this feature in my work, advising that it's a useful feature if you need to send funds from a PC that you know full-well is compromised and you don't want to expose your cold storage. Obviously, smart malware can infect a USB flash drive and collect information from your offline wallet to transmit to the malware-host later when the flash drive is running on a machine with internet. It's just nice piece of mind if a client were to have tens of grands worth of funds in the wallet, and a really awesome feature none-the-less if I could figure it out.
PS.
If you want to help what I'm doing here a little I'd really appreciate you check this out:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1012211.0If you fill out that Google form and give me complete written answers I'd be willing to pay 0.002 or more per response depending on the quality.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Oh, Electrum 2.0.4 btw
EDIT: Figured it out. For anyone interested:
Save your unsigned transaction, and edit the file with a text editor. Putting the hex code into that box on the watching-only wallet worked, that'd be an absolute ballache to have to write down however. If there's a shorter piece of code that can go in that "load transaction from text" box, more suitable for someone writing it down. Please do let me know.
Cheers!
