Hi all,

Can anyone please tell me if my procedure is correct and enough.
I've always heard and read that I must disconnect from the internet when creating Electrum Wallets, to keep away from hacks, viruses, malware or having my bitcoins stolen.

I have created electrum wallets and bitaddress paper wallets yesterday. Though I dont know much about its technicalities, I just followed simple procedures I've read online.

1. downloaded electrum exe installer and bitaddress (from github)
2. save them in my usb
3. disconnected my laptop from the internet
4. uninstall and reinstall Windows 10 (I have windows installation files too, in my usb)
5. created Electrum wallet, write the seed in a paper. save the wallet file in my usb.
6. created bitaddress paper wallet, write the Public Key and Private Key in a paper (not print). have checked the spellings, capitalizations multiple times.
7. uninstall and reinstall windows 10 again, scanned my usb, then connect again to the internet.

Thanks for any advice / clarifications,
Elena

One step need to be added right after the first one. Download pgp signature file for that installer you downloaded and check if exe is signed by Thomas. If you are not quite certain in that procedure of verification follow the official instruction. Good luck in your endeavor to have original and secured Electrum.
