Can someone tell me from where and what information I can pass to the cold wallet to complete the transfer?
There's no need to import anything there since it's the seed phrase that makes you in control of the transactions you've sent to it.
As long as the address that you used as recipient is correct, it's now safely stored in your cold-storage.
The transactions that you see in your Hot wallet aren't due to being sent from wallet to wallet.
Those are recorded in the Bitcoin Blockchain which is stored in every Bitcoin node, your wallet just shows the ones it can spend with its private keys.
So generally, the transactions that you see in the history are merely for balancing purposes only.
Same principle in your Cold storage, it doesn't hold transactions but private keys derived from your seed.
If you do not want to "
see" the transactions, there's no need to populate its history since its private keys can spend the transactions you sent to that wallet.
But if you insist on saving the raw transaction to your Electrum on Tails (
which will just be deleted if the wallet file isn't in a persistent storage)
You can export the raw transaction with:
- Double-click the transaction in the history.
- Click "Share->Save to file" save that transaction to a flash drive.
- In your cold-storage, click "Tools->Load transaction->From file" and load that exported txn.
- Click "Save" to save it to your history as a 'local transaction'.
Take note that it isn't necessary to do this since all you need is your seed phrase or private key (
for single address paper wallet)
I think this establishes that I attempted one necessary step and that the coin is correctly in the cold wallet?
Yes.
