Topic: HOWTO: create a 100% secure wallet - page 10. (Read 276150 times)
Very Good!
This is a great thread. I was already using encryption and generally being really careful (I thought) despite my nearly non-existent level of coins. But reading this has opened my eyes to a few security threats I hadn't really considered, and given me a better insight into both why and how "cold storage" is such a good idea.
Thank you, OP.

Great thread, thanks!
Just a heads up as a newbie...
I certainly don't know how to install programs onto it it or set up an internet connection with it.
Is there any work in progress to make a more secure wallet thingy?

Request help with
1. Reasonably light weight client to start with - Ubuntu is 700 mb, downloads. Are for ever
2. Simple bitcoin client to install on Linux - I don't need a choice just one simple client
3. Exact commands on Linux to install the client suggested in step 2
4. Do all above on an USB as per original post
Thanks In adv
great info, thanks!
Just a heads up as a newbie...
I have no idea if the original post is still valid and there's no way I'm ploughing through 120 pages to catch up.
Could we please have an updated sticky, locked to prevent the 120 page thing?
Regarding the first post, if even relevant now, I admit to being somewhat confused by it. Firstly I know nothing about linux, and I certainly don't know how to install programs onto it it or set up an internet connection with it.
Frankly I found the whole thing somewhat ridiculous. I mean , Step 1, install a new operating system.. Really?
The bitcoin 'wallet' system is THAT flaky and insecure?
So as well as the huge hassle I already seem to be facing trying to get hold of bitcoins with a UK bank account, I have to install a new operating system, again, just to spend the things?
Is it just me or is this totally crazy? There's nothing 'convenient' or 'frictionless' about that.

Armory is a good client for making a paper wallet
True, like the offline wallet option as well.
Would you suggest using an online wallet for simple transfers or is this even too big of a risk?
