I want to create my own personal instawallet/Ewallet to keep on my pc so I can transfer bitcoins more anonymously as I have paid money into a bit coin site from my own bank account and dont want it to be traced back to me. I read ages ago about some software you can download so you can create instawallets but now I cant find it anywhere. I never ask ppl for help this way I research myself but Ive been going round in circles for ages now and am getting to the end of my tether. Before I go on a machine-gun toting rampage thru the streets of my city could someone please help me out, it wouldnt just be me your saving but the lives of the innocent bystanders I end up massacring.
Thanks in advance.

Hey man,
Its not software that will go on your PC but you can just go to https://www.instawallet.org and when you visit that site it will generate a random URL for you like https://www.instawallet.org/w/QmZUqRkOH4Y4YzKk2FvKSfGd1ut2iGzvQsf and that is a bitcoin wallet.
The only way to access that wallet is by knowing that URL so bookmark it and write it down because if you lose it thats it, but you can just send your bitcoins to one/many of those.
Every time you visit the home page it will generate a new wallet so its pretty easy to use. I just joined SR and was reading the forums and thats what some people recommended doing before you sent your coins into SR.
just access it through TOR.

Ah thanks mate. Some one else said something similar. The reason I was asking was because I thought it was possible to create an ewallet address which can be put on a memory stick so that I didnt have to rely on internet companies to hold my coins and I could just have them in my own possession.
I thought I read that was possible somewhere but now cant find that information anywhere. Maybe I just got it mixed up in my head.
Thanks a lot tho I appreciate the advice.

pretty sure when you make a transaction it is stored online somewhere. like when you download the bitcoin app and it updates for ages at the start.. i think that is a history of transactions. so there isnt really a wallet you can "keep on your pc".... i think
