1) goto bitaddress.org
2) click "github Repository"
3) click "bitaddress.org.html"
4) copy the contents into a text file which you name "bitaddress.html"
5) copy that file onto a USB stick
6) get a linux "live CD" (like from
http://www.knoppix.org/)
7) remove all internet connectivity from you computer
8) boot from the "live CD"
9) wait...
10) insert USB stick, open "bitaddress.html" in a browser
11) chose "single wallet" and click a couple of times
12) print the page, and copy the Bitcoin Adress (1....) into a textfile on the USB stick so you do not have to type it in all the time when sending from your computer.
13) remove CD, reconnect to web, reboot
14) done
You can now send coins to your paper wallet from your mobile phone by scanning the QR code.
To spend the coins, simply enter the private key (the one starting with 5) into any bitcoin wallet of your choice.
for extra fun, you can insert these here steps INSTEAD OF step 11).
you can do this parallel, or you might have done it beforehand.
my advise would be to generate bot parts of the password at different times on different machines.
1) goto strong password generator.com
2) chose "25" and check "Punktuation"
3) click "Generate Strong Password"
4) copy the phrase behind
"Remember your Password as:" down, manually
5) repeat 2 - 4 write down the second passphrase seperately, laminate the paper, make copies, store seperately!
6) in bitaddress.html, chose "Brain Wallet"
7) enter both passphrases, seperated by a comma
8) take a picture of the QR-Code of the Bitcoin address Only (right-click, show image) and write down the Bitcoin address manually
9) send coins into the addres
why this is extra fun?
you could engrave one passphrase into a piece of jewelery (eg
a ring) or a piece of metal, then hide it in the wall of your house (plaster over it).
To recreate your wallet and spend the coins, simply use both passphrases again on the bitaddress.html and enter the private key (the one starting with 5) into any bitcoin wallet of your choice.
Tadaa!
