Title: Safest Private Wallet
Post by: dumbnewb on August 15, 2012, 10:26 am
Fairly new here and done a couple of weeks researching anonymous use and BTC and PGP what a learning curve that was but so easy thanks to the tutorials on here.
So I have coins left over aftyer making some purchases and I saw that SR has a backup address for safety but I want to remove them out of my account now and keep them on my own private wallet until I need to make a purchase again which could be a few weeks away

So what private/desktop bitcoin wallet is the safest to use? I'm not interested in leaving them in an exchange of any sort

Thanks so much for everything Ive already learnt and for this great place and sorry if this was answered somewhere else
Such a great community here :)

The standard bitcoin wallet is fine. Just keep it encrypted, and if on a Windows machine do not install to default directory

Does Brain Wallet use deterministic key generation, then? Thanks for Sharing

Peace

Thanks. I had tried out Electrum. It's pretty easy to use but I couldn't make it use Tor, and a few guys speculated that the seeds aren't secure enough.

Peace
