[Price drop] Create secure paper wallets with an Ubuntu Live USB 0.02BTC each

[RGBKey]

If someone knows how to use ubuntu to generate addresses offline, then they know how to use the deadass simple USB installer for ubuntu and they can make their own.

That's exactly what these are for.

I offer a guide with step by step instructions showing how you can create paper wallets for people who don't know how or don't have the time/knowledge to create live USBs. I also offer a guide on how to securely create vanity Paper wallets. Something I couldn't find anywhere.

If you already know how to create paper wallets and create an Ubuntu stick then this isn't the product for you although I'm sure you're well aware of that. Nice signature.

Alright, I can respect that business model. I didn't read far enough to see that you were also offering instructions. I'm not always a cynic, I promise

EDIT: Although if you don't, you might want to add instructions on how to live-boot from the USB.

interested

Send me a PM and we'll work out the details.

I can do pretty much whatever Linux distribution you'd like, for example I have both a 32bit and a 64bit Linux mint 18.1 USB currently. I can also give an in depth guide for starting up a live USB (no hard drive even needed in the computer)! Mint is a little more user friendly for Windows users IMO.

Don't trust me. In fact - don't trust anyone, ever. Scan the USB with your favourite anti-virus software. Do any other tests to make sure you're 100% safe.

Maybe you could checksum every file on the memory stick and then sign that with a PGP key so that people know that nothing has been tampered with?

You definitely sound like you know a lot more about what you're talking about than I do. I don't have a PGP key per se but I have old bitcoin addresses that I've staked here on bitcointalk.

Any suggestions for how I could checksum every file? I've never done it before.

Yeah there's nothing stopping you signing it with a Bitcoin address instead of a PGP key.

Not sure what the best way to checksum every file on the disk would be, possibly something like

Code:

find / -type f -print0 ! -name "sums.txt" | xargs -0 sha1sum > sums.txt

After that, people can verify everything with

Code:

sha1sum -c /path/to/sums.txt

You will also need to sign sums.txt with your Bitcoin address otherwise it would be a bit worthless. Good luck

I'll try that out when I'm at a computer and sign it here. Is that code for Windows or Linux?

Just run it in the Terminal on Linux. It might take a while to run.

All I got with that was a whole lot of Permission Denied and Invalid Argument. It was pretty much instant because it just flew through everything and didn't have anything it was able to compute I suppose.

Edit: I have a file called MD5SUMS, is that a checksum that's useful?

Yeah you can use md5 instead of sha1 if that's what you're asking.
Is that the hash of the iso file from the Ubuntu website? I'm not sure how somebody would verify that after you've put it onto a memory stick :/

I have a file that was created when I made the live USB and that's the title. I wasn't sure if it was something that was already done automatically.

Bump!
