As i spend 80 bucks every paycheck on more and more xcp (buffet style value investing ftw) I keep wishing I could just print a paper wallet of an xcp private key with ease but that doesn't seem to be possible. I have half my xcp on bter and half on my counterwallet and I feel like neither location is safer than the other. There has to be a better way to safeguard this stuff in a way that won't require someone to just figure out my passphrase on counterwallet.
*edit* can someone explain what the "sign" a wallet functionality does? Or how that works?
You can print a Bitcoin paper wallet (public and private key), and store it there.
"Sign Message" is advanced functionality of Bitcoin which allows you to sign arbitrary messages to prove to that you are (were) in control of some Bitcoin address.
