Over the months, I've been inactive a little as I was busy with some other stuffs but I had the time to learn some new things about btc.
Security
I learned something new about the most secure way of storing your btc which is Usage of Airgapped devices and I felt I should also share this here too
What are Airgapped devices:
Airgapped devices are devices that are completely free of any access to Internet I.e they donot use or get connected to the Internet at all.
what are the benefits:
Using of an airgapped device gives the ultimate security level for your datas and using it as your means of cold storage gives your wallet the tight security it needed as issues like (malwares and attacks) will be completely eliminated since there're no relationship with the Internet
How can we use Airgapped as a means of cold storage:
We can use Airgapped devices as a means of cold storage by taking our wallet offline completely , here we will have two wallets, the one that connects to the Internet [view only wallet](this can be used on other devices that connects to Internet as it only view and make transaction that need to be signed]
The other wallet is used on the Airgapped device as cold storage and is capable of signing transaction for broadcast on the other view-only wallet.
For now, I can only speak of Electrum as a way to do this (by connecting the two wallet using a public key) because I've only read about Electrum but I know others will know more wallet that does it , a little share of knowledge will do here .
