@ -11,10 +11,34 @@ How to Set Up a Split Bitcoin Wallet in Qubes
What is a "Split" Bitcoin Wallet?
---------------------------------
A "split" bitcoin wallet is a strategy of protecting your bitcoin by having your wallet split into an offline "[cold storage](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Cold_storage)" wallet and an online "watching only" wallet.
A "Watching" Wallet and a "Cold" Wallet
---------------------------------------
1. Create a Debian 8 backports template using the Qubes VM Manager or running
`qvm-clone debian-8 debian-8-backports` in dom0.
2. Add backports to the sources for the new template by opening a terminal in
the new template, run `sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list` and add
`deb http://http.debian.net/debian jessie-backports main`.
(If you are new to `vi` text editing, type `i` to be able to edit, and when
done editing press `ESC` then type `:x` and press `ENTER`.)
3. Update source list: `sudo apt-get update`.
4. Install `electrum` from backports:
`sudo apt-get -t jessie-backports install electrum`.
5. shut down your `debian-8-backports` template
6. 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.
7. follow the [electrum documentation in creating an offline wallet](http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/coldstorage.html#create-an-offline-wallet)
8. 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.
9. 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)
