Transfer Bitcoin

[danielgold20]

Hello!
I dont know if it is the place to ask so if it will make any problem sorry
I have some bitcoins in my XAPO account and i want to transfer it to USB that i will be safe there from stealing ( As i understand cold storage )
If I understand correctly if i transfer the bitcoins to offline ( USB ) it cannot be stolen

Is there any guide or tutorial that you can recommend because i have seen many things on youtube and i dont know which one is good...
So if you can help me with these question maybe to know  VIDEO ( would BE GREAT ! ) OR ANY GUIDE / TUTORIAL   

Thank you for your time!

Step 1. Download github file of https://www.bitaddress.org/ from this link https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org

Step 2. Now unzip the files you have downloaded from above github and transfer those files to an offline computer.

Step 3. Open bitaddress.org.html file from that unzipped folder in offline computer (you can use any unused old computer which you will never connect to internet again).

Step 4. When you will move your mouse for few times, a bitcoin address and private key pair will be generated and you can actually save them in any form you like. You can just select print option and save them as pdf file or you can print it out if you have a printer connected to that computer.

Step 5. Now just move that file with private key + bitcoin address to Fully formated USD stick.

Step 6. You can scan bitcoin address area with your blockchain.info mobile wallet to watch your bitcoins or to share your cold storage address to others.

Step 7. Now just format your old computer so that it will not leave any trace of your wallet.

Step 8. Store that printed paper or USD stick in very safe place and without reach of anybody else other than you.

Hope this will help you. Good luck....

- You can do it both in offline or online computer but most secure is to generate in offline computer.

- You have to send bitcoin from xapo wallet to that bitcoin address (it will be in left side when generated) starting with 1xxxxx . Try by sending small amount at first

- After you send bitcoin you can check balance of that bitcoin address by visiting https://blockchain.info/address/yourbitcoinaddress

- YOu need to store both bitcoin address and private key in secure place. Yes this is offline wallet and to use those bitcoin you have to import its private key in future to web wallets like blockchain.info

- You can search for tutorial about how to import your private key to blockchain.info web/mobile wallet or to electrum wallet.

You can send me PM in future if you have any confusion, thanks

If you really careso much about security, than choose pc which wasn't connected to internet with no antivirus and do all that process on such computer with new and unused usd, this is the safest way, if you eant 99% security. BTW there is no probem if you use online or offline computer but be sure that you are free from malwares, keyloggers and personally I don't trust antivirus.

get a hardware wallet? way more functionality and security becomes much less of a thing you need to be conscious of. your coins are also more accessible. i've got a ledger nano s and it works great.

You can access the offline wallet you generated if you import the private key on blockchain.info.
Transferring btc from xapo to your new generated wallet is just like the common sending, just copy paste.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

1. Transfer bitcoin from xapo to your newly generated bitcoin address with transfer option now.

2. You can import your offline wallet (you have to do this to transfer bitcoin from that wallet) to blockchain.info web wallet using private key which will be generated along with that bitcoin address (on right hand side).

3. To import private key to blockchain.info wallet this guide can help you https://blockchain.info/wallet/paper-tutorial

4. Remember you have to generate different bitcoin address (offline wallet) everytime you want to store remaining bitcoin for future if you don't want to keep any of your private keys online.

I didn't understand one part for example:
I transfer from xapo to my offline wallet 1 bitcoin then i want to transfer from my offline wallet 0.5 bitcoins to " eric " so how does in blockchain its if my wallet offline?
I didn't understand that thing if I have an offline wallet how people will know about the transaction and know and how it will synchronized ? or does every time that I transfer money from
my offline wallet it updates its status about bitcoin status how much I left and everything?

thank you!

You can't avoid transactions on blockchain. If you want to make transaction, you have to use internet, isn't like this? So when you make transaction, it's recorded in blockchain and with the adress, everyone can check your transactions and ballance.
