- bluedanieru 14y agoThere's no such thing as 'offline' Bitcoins. It's not like your client has to be connected to the Internet in order for someone to steal your shit.
- dreamdu5t 14y agoYou print the bitcoin hash. That's offline to me.
- clarkmoody 14y agoI would suggest researching a little bit next time before making a post like this. There are in fact some very clever ways to make completely offline and non-physical Bitcoin wallets.
- bluedanieru 14y agoYeah, and I know what they are, although I wouldn't describe generating a wallet on an offline PC and keeping it offline as 'very clever'. At any rate, after reading it again I think I confused what the parent was insinuating, so nevermind.
