Bitcoin Offline Wallet

[BlackHatCoiner]

My operating system is Windows; the Linus you mentioned I taught is only OS support; correct me if my guess is wrong, or is it also window support?

Your operating system is Windows, and you can normally burn another OS in a USB. You can use a software like Rufus (or the one that's shown in Tails' page), and burn the Tails img using Windows.

which will not complicate things for me since it is my first time trying to set up this wallet.

Relax. Try it out, don't send any money, and come back here to tell is any issues you have. Just ensure you follow the steps on Tails' page; they're on purpose written in detail.

Thank you all very much for your suggestions and help, but my small brain is just finding it difficult for all of this whole process. I just need something that I can go with so easily.

I know, it's a lot of information if you haven't done something similar before, but it's worth the hustle for maximum security.

Sorry to ask again the USB which am suppose to burn the OS should be an empty USB flash drive or hard drive right? or it can just be any USB that is not read only ?

Since the USB disk needs to be formatted, you have to create a copy of any data you have on it before you use it for Linux. You would also need at least a 4GB disk for most Linux systems.
A portable hard disk would work too but again the data on it would be lost.

If you have to ask this these questions, it's probably better not to mess with writing ISO images to any USB device until you've done some proper reading on the subject.

Get a hardware wallet!

getting my hands on a hardware wallet now won't be fast or easy because of my location.

Unless you have terrible delivery services, can't you just order one online (and pay with Bitcoin)?

One of the problem I am having trying to buy S1 online is the shipping duration to my country then the shipping fee..
The last time I checked Amazon the shipping fee alone for Safepal S1 is about 17.7$ to Nigeria when the price of the wallet it's self is 49$.

I wouldn't waste a single dollar on Safepal hardware wallet, and it has nothing to do with price of delivery, it's closed source cheap device that I don't trust at all.
If you don't have money and you can't wait for delivery, than you can easily make a cold wallet using your old smartphone that is free, just remove sim card, reinstall OS and turn on airplane mode.
You you can than install some open source wallet on this device and use it together with your main phone or laptop for making transactions.
This is not perfect solution but it's still much better than only using only hot wallets.
