In cryptocurrency, security is a big big issue. How do you secure your funds from being stolen or getting lost. Previously we have discussed various types of wallets. We touched on a type that is referred to as a COLD STORAGE wallet. Strictly speaking this is a wallet that is not used on the internet. You may want to use this type of wallet for storing funds that you will not want to access in the short term. A good practice is to only keep small amounts on your hot wallet.
At Crypto Tamanga we have designed a Paper wallet (see image above). This wallet will be printed and supplied to everyone who attends a session with us or community members. The first one will be free while subsequent ones will have to be paid for. We can also supply to non community members at a small fee.
The instructions for retrieving a wallet address and QR code are as follows:
Route 1: If you already have a wallet in use. This is not strictly a cold storage wallet but this can be done for convenience sake for easy access to your public without having to go to your device every time. You can simply provide the card to be scanned for payment.
1. Simply navigate your app to where it shows the public address alpha-numeric code AND the QR code.
2. Take a screenshot.
3. Send screenshot via email to cryptotamanga@gmail.com
Route 2: Do not have a wallet.
1. Either goto www.paperwalletbitcoin.com OR download a wallet app such as Jaxx, Blockchain, mycellium, etc.
2. Do number 1 to 3 above.
NOTE: Instructions for using www.paperwalletbitcoin.com can be found on the website. After you have generated and printed your codes you will then have to email us your PUBLIC KEY. DO NOT send us your PRIVATE KEY. We find that it is easier to send a screenshot from an existing wallet app.

Love, Peace and Humanity.
