The Crypto Dad shows you how to set up a cold storage wallet using the Electrum Bitcoin wallet. We go through creating an “air-gapped” computer with no connection to the Internet. Then we install the Electrum Bitcoin Wallet on that computer. This copy will be used just to sign transactions. It will never connect to the Internet. • We than install the “watching-only” component on our normal “working machine” This component of the wallet will only receive bitcoin or broadcast transactions that have been signed by the cold storage component. • Electrum bitcoin wallet: • https://electrum.org/#home • New social Media links! • Twitter: / the_cryptodad • Facebook: / thecryptodad • Donate Bitcoin: • 1JBxwXG8P6PYKKsrHKzQduM8s8RoV3dnjr • Related videos on my YouTube Channel • Creating a Segwit (segregated-witness) Bitcoin Wallet Using the Electrum Bitcoin Wallet Version 3 • • Creating a Segwit (segregated-witness... • How to Buy Bitcoin on Coinbase and Move it to the Electrum Bitcoin Wallet • • How to Buy Bitcoin on Coinbase and Mo... • Backing up Your bitcoins using the Electrum Bitcoin Wallet • • Backing up Your bitcoins using the E... • What is the Electrum Bitcoin Wallet? • The Electrum Bitcoin wallet is software that runs on your computer. It is an application that allows you to send, receive and store bitcoins. It also has advanced features that allow you to check your current balance, see a list of transactions, and even maintain several “wallets”. It does this by allowing you to access a bitcoin address on the Bitcoin blockchain. Access to a Bitcoin address is provided by a cryptographic key-pair. The key-pair is a public/private asymmetric cryptographic key. The public key is the receiving address. This is the address you can share with others, so they can send you bitcoins. The private key is the part that allows you to send bitcoins. The Electrum Bitcoin software creates a new key-pair whenever you create a new wallet. It stores the private key on your computer. The private key is protected by on-disk encryption. Electrum will automatically decrypt the private key when you wish to send bitcoins. Access to the private key is also enhanced by a password or your own choosing that you can set when the wallet is created. Best practice is to choose a strong password for your Electrum Bitcoin Wallet. • The Electrum Bitcoin Wallet is one of the most popular Bitcoin wallets for desktops. It has several advanced features that make it robust and flexible. It supports Two Factor Authentication, Multi-sig Wallets, and Cold Storage. • Another unique feature of the Electrum Bitcoin Wallet is that it does not require you to download the entire Bitcoin Blockchain on to your computer (which can be time-consuming and requires a lot of space). It does this by maintaining several Blockchain servers which allow you to quickly access the current state of the Bitcoin Blockchain and the up-to-date status of the wallets you control. This includes your current balances and the transaction history for each of your wallets. • What is Bitcoin? • Bitcoin is a new technology that functions as a digital currency. It is a peer-based, decentralized way to hold, store, send, and receive value. It does this by maintaining a cryptographic “ledger” called the Blockchain. All of the bitcoins in existence are created and stored on the Blockchain. • Bitcoin with a capital “B” refers to the technology itself. Bitcoin spelled with a little “b” refers to the tokens that hold the value and can be exchanged with others. • Multiple copies of the Blockchain exist on thousands if not millions of computers worldwide. Each copy of the Blockchain “verifies” itself by connecting to the Internet and making sure it has the most up-to-date list of transactions. The Blockchain maintains its integrity by using strong, modern, encryption techniques. This makes it impossible for anyone to alter the ledger, create fake transaction or “double-spend” their bitcoins. • Bitcoins do not require banks or third-party financial services to act as central clearing houses for electronic transfers. In essence, Bitcoin technology “cuts out the middleman”. Bitcoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer monetary system that exists outside of the traditional, centralized, fiat-currency based financial system.
