Creating a paper wallet

Here are 10 steps needed to create a paper wallet:

1. To generate a new bitcoin address, open BitAddress.org in your browser (or LiteAddress.org for litecoin).
2 itAddress (but not LiteAddress) will ask you to create some randomness by either randomly typing characters into the form or moving your cursor around.
3.You will be presented with your public and private keys and their respective QR codes. Do not scan these.
4.Click the ‘Paper wallet’ tab.
5.Select the number of addresses to generate.
6.If you don’t wish to keep the bitcoin artwork, click the ‘Hide art?’ button.
7.Click the ‘Generate’ button to create new wallets.
8.Once the wallets are generated, click the ‘Print’ button to make a hard copy.
9. Your browser will ask you to select the printer you wish to use. In the case of Google Chrome, you may also save the page as a PDF file.
10. Make a note of the public addresses, or scan the public address QR code in your bitcoin (or litecoin) app and start depositing funds.
