Topic: how to get bitcoin paper wallet (Read 462 times)
The benefit of a paper wallet ( if properly generated offline ), is that your private keys remain offline in paper form and are not susceptible to viruses/malware or other forms of attack that could potentially compromise them if stored on a PC. However, with a paper wallet, you do have to ensure that you are storing them in a secure manner to prevent physical theft and other damage ( water damage for example ). You can use BIP32 to add a password to a paper wallet to help further secure it.

I would personally download that to USB stick or some other storage method, then i would boot onto to example Ubuntu live cd that does not have an internet connection and generate the wallet from there.

That should do the trickt, let me know if you need more help with this
