I will make a video on how to setup a paper wallet as I get home. I've tried it and I think it will be to complicated for non techy pepople. I think it could be something like this:

1. run a virtual machine from a usb stick (for advanced security disconnect all hdd)
2. install your printer without to connect to the internet ( pc has to be phisically disconnected from any network, wifi too!)
3. make and print paper wallet(s)
4. erase any traces of the process left in the computer (clear memory...)
5. import private key to existing wallet

The video will be a fool proof steb by step tutorial. Anyone has any suggestions on what to add? And one last question: anybody willing to offer her/his personal voice for the video? A "her" would be much appreciated.

Maybe this helps

Paper Wallet Generator

December 29, 2014



The Walletgenerator.net Team ( walletgenerator.net ) made an offiline wallet for Ixcoin. You can create one too following these instructions:



CREATE A PAPER WALLET

Download github.com/MichaelMure/WalletGenerator.net/archive/master.zip

NOW GO OFFLINE, BE SURE YOUR PC HAS NO MALWARE OF ANY KIND

Unzip it, click on "index.html"

Move your mouse around to generate random characters

Click on the right on "Choose currency", choose "iXcoin"

In "Single Wallet" click on "Generate new Address" : you will get:

-Public Address

-Secret Private Key

Print the Wallet and keep it in a safe place.

SEND COINS TO YOUR PAPER WALLET

Now send coins (start with a few if you are not sure) to your "Public Address"

Wait 10 minute and check if now this amount can be seen in the blockchain:

iXcoin Blockchain

You should be able to see it. Now they are in your paper wallet (they are in the blockchain, in reality).



REDEEM YOUR COINS (when ir will be neccessary or just to test the system)

How will you redeem your IXC in the future?

Download the last iXcoin QT wallet, sync the blockchain.

Now in the iXcoin QT wallet, go to "Help", then "Debug Window", "Console"

Write:

walletpassphrase "mywalletpassphrase" 600

("mywalletpassphrase"= it's the password of your QT-wallet, if you set one)

(600=seconds the encryption of the wallet will be disabled)

Then write:

importprivkey "mysecretprivatekey" "nameofthewallet"

("mysecretprivatekey" = it's the Secret Private Key you have previously generated)

("nameofthewallet" = just a name you give to the wallet)

With this last operation you didn't transfer coins, you simply added the address (used before as paper wallet) to your iXcoin QT wallet.

WARNING: never show your Secret Private Key to everybody. The only way to invalidate the old private key is transferring all the coins to a new address.
