sorta on topic
i need to make a priv key msg off my BTC addresses to prove to my email that I legit hold 100 btc
Thus the 'air gap' machine build would be safest to do this (PAPER virgin wallets never have been used for the hoard)
Thus to start this off I assume
I put a build together and put windows 10 on the machine and get the windows 10 updates off the interenet
and then
I download bitcoin wallet like bitcoin-qt and have it synch up on the internet as well
then unplug the beastie from the internet
make my private key msg's with info to prove i own the bitcoin to the byteball bot I gather and linked (hopefully forever with no monthly more to do on airdrops in future)
then just plain erase the windows machine to be safe and use it for something else after the re-install after the fact (ie format)
I also assume I can use the same encrypted msg (copy) each month to prove my btc from each of my btc paper wallets or am I simply linked on that btc or btc address on the monthly snapshot and even that is not needed once i've linked (proof ) of my btc to byteball month to month
sorry about all the questions. but I'm clueless on such stuff..its cryptic as hell...and the machine build is turning out to be a pain..got the parts they are NOT
playing well together
anyway, any refinement or NO NO NO on the above and advice is appreciated..but I think I have the above Air gap'd machine thing down ...right?
(frigging things I do for an angle for some $$$ to apply to btc or hell to hold byteball sheesh)
again thanks for the info
