Hey /biz/. Do you keep your crypto on desktop wallets like Electrum? I want to, but I feel like my computer is full of malware. Have you ever gotten your crypto stolen from you? How do you make sure your PC does not have any malware?

>how do I stop getting hacked

well first off stop watching and downloading porn

reminder that literally anything can be hacked with enough time put into it

I wouldn't worry about getting hacked though, reputable hackers don't go phishing for some retards .001 btc wallet

I personally strictly use USB wallets

>>2932167
if you have a reasonable amount then go buy a brand new PC and use it to create paper wallet

>but I feel like my computer is full of malware.
How the fuck do you even get to this stage?
Do you have malware or not?
If you have a suspicion, you fucking fix it, as soon as you get this suspicion and make sure it won't happen again.

>Hi /adv/, do you like drinking? I want to, but I feel like I'm pregnant. Have you ever caused fetal alcohol syndrome? How do you make sure you are not pregnant?

>USB wallets

You mean like Nano Ledger and Trezor? I really don't want to put my bitcoins in there. Can't really be sure that the company that made those didn't put a way inside the USB to steal your crypto.

I feel that Paper Wallets are unsecure because the Paper Wallet maker may try to steal your coins.

>>2932219

How would I know if I have malware or not? For all you know there could be malware in your computer.

How do I fix it?
>>
>>2932167
dedicated usb with linux (tails or kali) or any mobile device in safer than a windows machine.
>>
>>2932253
By USB do you mean a flash drive of any kind? How about an airgapped android mobile device?

????

paper wallet = printing out ur private key

>How would I know if I have malware or not?
Well, did you do anything that is a known attack vector?
Did you possible fall for any of the current ways to spread malware?
Is your OS and software at a patchlevel that is vulnerable to current attacks?
Are you in a position where you might be specifically targeted?

>For all you know there could be malware in your computer.
Sure, but it's unlikely enough, because of all of the above. However, if I get to a level where I really have an amount of crypto big enough to cause me issues when I lose it, I would get an airgapped PC for it.

>How do I fix it?
install gentoo
>>>/g/

>>2932343
Yes. but to print out your private key, you need to have software, right? You use a website of some sort. Or am I wrong?

>>2932400
lol I don't know anything about any of those.
>>
>>2932626
You are right. I have the same fear: how can I trust the software that creates paper wallets?
>>
>>2932626
Ctrl+P is rumored to be riddled with keyloggers
