HELP Bitcoin installation problems on s5

[benboef]

Hi is there anyone that can help please. I followed the instructions from the Electrum link on the alpha bay website to get bitcoin running . When I download python it installed by itself also the zip file can't be moved to sl4a. After that things get even more complicated. If there is a UK member that could spare me a few minutes on the phone to talk me through the process I would be a very happy man .Thank you in advance

Can you show the link of what your talking about?

As far install it is normally pretty straight forward.    I unsure of what you are trying to do here.

Welcome to the forum

Honestly, I'm also a bit confused... usually you have a miner and a wallet, thats it. Electrum is a wallet and I would suggest to download it from their site and never ever use a alphabay link (thats darknet, right? - dont trust them).

Are you using Linux? Why python? Whats wrong with the S5?

More infos please

What are people saying is. Normally you just plug the S5 in. Then connect to it using its IP in your web browser.

Then you go to configurations, change the pool settings to your own and done.

For whats setting up a wallet, i'd go with GreenAddress or Multibit but, what OS do you have?

When you say S5 we all assume the miner on this forum.  I really would not suggest running your wallet on your phone besides a little bit of spending money.

Look  into cold wallets they will do you much more good over time.

Haha damn. ^_^" Indeed.

I would advise against running a wallet on a platform so insecure like phones. I strongly recommend getting a SPV wallet and run it on Linux or even Windows if you can secure it properly.

If its just a little amount of money, probably use a webwallet with their app, so local security is less important since you will need 2FA or another form of authentication to release the fund. Maybe something like GreenAddress would do.
