![]() DO NOT TRUST ANYBODY AND GO STRAIGHT TO THE SOURCE. NOTE: I strongly recommend to check Electrum Bitcoin Wallet official website → Download section (look for linux) and see if the below commands are correct. Since you are logged in and ready to go, it’s time to plug in your Ethernet cable into your Raspberry (if possible don’t use Wi-Fi, just use an old Ethernet cable and turn off both the Wi-Fi and the Bluetooth from the top bar right corner). As I mentioned I am not a tech guy and still learning how Linux works. You can try the options above for full security, maybe they will work for you or maybe you will find a solution to those errors. I solved one error and another, more menacing one appeared. I tried two guides: and plus I tried to improvise myself but none of the attempts worked. ![]() Electrum is dependent on other programs and libraries and I found it impossible to install those programs offline without using the good ol’ Debian command apt-get that downloads and installs those programs from several official servers. NOTE: Unfortunately, I couldn’t manage to install Electrum Wallet offline, thus making a pure air-gapped offline wallet. If you installed Raspbian OS like me on a laptop using the installation guide linked above, the system will be ready to operate, no extra steps involved when you first run your Raspberry Pi. If you have the NOOBs micro-SD card you can go ahead and connect your Raspberry Pi to your display using a HDMI cable, select Raspbian OS and click Install without touching any other computer. After all was set and done, I inserted the micro-SD in my Raspberry Pi – basically the micro-SD will act as a genuine hard-drive (you can see where to put the micro-SD in the image below, no need to second guess, it will only fit in one way and one way only.) Since I bought the micro-SD separately, I had to connect the SD adapter to my laptop and follow the installation guide I mentioned before. If you bought the full starter’s kit the better: you will have NOOBs on your micro-SD with the possibility to install the Raspbian OS offline out of the box using your Raspberry Pi. Next I went ahead and installed the Raspbian OS on the micro-SD card – it’ s fairly straight forward you can go to the Raspberry Pi website, click Downloads and there you have all you’ll ever need to get started including an easy installation guide. The shipping was FREE by the way and my order was delivered in 2 days (I ordered on Monday evening last week and received the kit on Wednesday morning). PRICE? Around $68 in my case! I also separately bought a micro-SD card with an adapter for around $8 (8GB, class 10) (you can go for the full starter's kit that also gives you a pre-installed NOOBs - an easy operating system installation wizard for beginners - micro-SD card alongside the Raspberry Pi, case and power supply.) I bought a kit that had a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, a case, and a Power Supply. Check the official website to see how you can buy one. You only need to read the rest of the way and you’ll be fine.įirst things first! In my case, I went for the affordable mini-PC Raspberry Pi. ![]() ![]() Rest assured! You don’t need to be a tech expert – I for one am definitely NOT – creating a cold storage is as easy as 1, 2, 3. If you are fed up with all the waiting time nonsense for a hardware wallet - because of the massive volume as of late, to get a Ledger Nano S you have to wait till September, to get a Trezor you have to wait till August OR go for a premium price – and you also like to take matters into your own hands, then it is time to think outside of the box and try out a good alternative: build a cold storage wallet for Bitcoin and Litecoin by YOURSELF! ![]()
