I [set it up with electrum](http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/coldstorage.html) and it was quite easy, just had to install jessie-backports.\r\n\r\nvery low priority but something that is likely of interest to Qubes users (or potential users). There may already be documentation out there on it, just not in the google group.\r\n\r\n-------------------\r\n\r\nHow to set up offline \"cold storage\" bitcoin wallet and an online watching-only bitcoin wallet:\r\n\r\n1. Create a Debian 8 backports template using the Qubes VM Manager or running\r\n   `qvm-clone debian-8 debian-8-backports` in dom0.\r\n\r\n2. Add backports to the sources for the new template by opening a terminal in\r\n   the new template, run `sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list` and add\r\n   `deb http://http.debian.net/debian jessie-backports main`.\r\n\r\n   (If you are new to `vi` text editing, type `i` to be able to edit, and when\r\n   done editing press `ESC` then type `:x` and press `ENTER`.)\r\n\r\n3. Update source list: `sudo apt-get update`.\r\n\r\n4. Install `electrum` from backports:\r\n   `sudo apt-get -t jessie-backports install electrum`.\r\n\r\n5. shut down your `debian-8-backports` template\r\n\r\n6. create an `offline-bitcoin` qube based on `debian-8-backports` using the Qubes VM Manager or running `qvm-create -t debian-8-backports -l black offline-bitcoin` and `qvm-prefs -s offline-bitcoin netvm none` in dom0.\r\n\r\n7. follow the [electrum documentation in creating an offline wallet](http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/coldstorage.html#create-an-offline-wallet)\r\n\r\n8. create a `watching-bitcoin` qubes based on `debian-8-backports` connecting to the internet how ever you prefer using the Qubes VM Manager or running for example `qvm-create -t debian-8-backports -l green watching-bitcoin` and `qvm-prefs -s watching-bitcoin netvm sys-whonix` in dom0.\r\n\r\n9. follow the [electrum documentation in creating an online watching-only wallet](http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/coldstorage.html#create-a-watching-only-version-of-your-wallet)"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/comments/230480347","html_url":"https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1966#issuecomment-230480347","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1966","id":230480347,"user":{"login":"adrelanos","id":1985040,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1985040?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/adrelanos","html_url":"https://github.com/adrelanos","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/adrelanos/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/adrelanos/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/adrelanos/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/adrelanos/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/adrelanos/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/adrelanos/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/adrelanos/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/adrelanos/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/adrelanos/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-07-05T13:37:55Z","updated_at":"2016-07-05T13:37:55Z","body":"This still needs to be added to documentation index https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/?"}}
