Oddbean new post about login | logout I think it was a kickstarter so long ago I barely remember. I have one but never used it. From what I remember it connects to a printer and you print a paper wallet.
Hahahahahaha…
We have come a long way haha.
My first paper wallets were made with an airgapped laptop running Ubuntu with the offline version of bitaddress.org on it. I can’t believe that website still exists! 😆
Yes. It behaved like a pendrive with a PDF on it. Every time you plug it in, it's a different paper wallet on that PDF with strong entropy.
That's kind of cool, but doesn't seem very secure.
It probably was decent for the time as long as you printed over a USB cable and not a WiFi network. But since it was a P2PKH address, it could only be spent from once by sweeping it to another wallet.
Cool. I only had a couple bucks worth of bitcoin on a blockchain-dot-infoinfo wallet back then, so I never set up a paper wallet.
I hope you didn’t get rugged on that.
