It takes around 10 minutes to make a secure cold wallet. The tool has been hashed and verified by many community members (see here).

MD5 (taushet-USB-wallet-gen.zip) = 7e8923a66f8165b890177a34559b694c

  1. Extract the zip file, which contains: slacko64-6.3.0.iso, Rufus-2.11.exe, monero-wallet-generator-master (dir), and this ReadMe.txt.

  1. Make a bootable USB of the ISO using Rufus 2.11. Agree to all the default settings in the dialog boxes.

  1. Drag the monero-wallet-generator-master directory to the USB drive.

  1. Reboot using the USB into PuppyLinux (hold down F12 during boot to select boot drive)
press f12 repeatedly on startup
  1. Open the monero-wallet-generator.html file in the directory, generate the wallet seed and keys
  2. Save the seed, address and keys to the second USB drive. Copy/paste, don't type. This is you digital vault, not to be used until fund extraction.
  3. Write down the seed three times on a single sheet of paper. This is your physical vault.
  4. Save the address (and maybe viewkey) to the third USB drive. This is your address usb, which can be used with relative abandon.

  6. Wipe the first USB drive (containing the wallet generator and linux), or destroy it.
  7. Remove all USB drives.
  8. Reboot, reconnect internet.

You now have a cold wallet!
