Hello,
I'm finding a problem making sure my cold storage wallet is secure.. I find that the only loop hole in cold storage is making sure that the address generated in the offline pc are really random..
I can think of several issues:
1. a ubunto developer change the source code so that all users that create new address in bitcoin will create address from a pool of 200 million address ( so each one will get a different one) but the developer know the keys for all of them
2. downloading a bitcoin-qt client that new address generated from this client is from a pool of 200 million address ( so each one will get a different one) but the bitcoin-qt developer/hacker will have the keys for all address.
What is the best way to be absolutely sure my address is random|?
Has anyone ever thought about this issue?
Thank You.
