Oh look, the opensats board is promoting software that isn't open again.

lmao

What would you recommend?

Jade and green

1. download electrum

2. unplug your router

3. create a new wallet

4. export the pubkey to your mobile wallet of choice

5. delete the electrum file

6. plug your router back in

7. congratulations you have a completely Free ($$$) and FOSS cold storage wallet without having to buy any fancy hardware !

Deleting the file isnt enough.

Please free to add any extra information that could be useful to the crowd!

A key that ever existed on a computer that is later connected to the internet isnt provably better than a hot wallet.

I agree!

One level up is to boot a live linux disto on a diskless offline PC with a bitcoin wallet included - like https://tails.net/ for example

but still not good enough, only a bit better

I'll try this when I have enought sats

Doesn’t hurt to practice with a small amount before you have large sats on the line!

It’s pretty risky for your first time messing with cold storage to be with a meaningful chunk.. mistakes do happen

Every time.
