Featherwallet
Stolen External SSD
All you need to create your very own hypersecure private crypto ledger! FOR FREE! Transactions routed through Tor, Amnesic Operating System, what's not to love? This is a Hot wallet for your cryptocurrency. It is more secure than using a desktop wallet, or something like metamask. Think of it as a checking account. If a Dedicated air-gapped hardware wallet is your savings account, this is the in-between. Personal banking is evolving, and with decentralized cryptocurrency, you can be your own bank! You can even do this with Electrum, Bitcoin (btc), Ethereum (eth) or even lesser known alt-coins. This is a safe, private way to store and secure your crypto holdings.
0:00 Intro
5:45 Installing Tails
8:20 Configuring Tails
11:00 Installing Feather Wallet
VERY IMPORTANT: I was incorrect, the guys at r/Monero let me know that this is actually a more secure Hot Wallet, not a "dedicated air-gapped device" like what I said in the video. Check out the thread for the most up to date information here: www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/177thwm/i_built_my_own_monero_hardware_wallet_with/
Also, a more secure way to do this is to generate a wallet seed with the networking disconnected. That would be optimal.
that’s the point of tails….
as a fellow paranoia enjoyer this is helpful for me avoiding the dark wizards tracking me
we hate the dark wizards over here
😂
2:26 I am worried about "500 level dark wizard supply chain hardware backdoors"
5:53 proceeds to use windows for flashing the iso because "Linux too hard" (I know that this is a VM, but that doesn't change anything + it's your personal machine judging from the files)
I wasn’t gonna subscribe.. but then I watched the video.. and subscribed
Dude why you not uploading I understand if you didnt enjoy it but you really seem like you do and you could entertain inform alot of people whatever youwant to do run it up
I do enjoy it , love it tbh, just been focusing on different things. Because you wrote this tho i’m gonna schedule 4 new vids for january that are almost finished and make another one to post very soon after that 😎😂 much love brotha
Bro plz answer this or DM me or some shit.. why didn’t you download the tails version of feather?? You downloaded the normal Linux one
its the same im pretty sure
Bro might be seeing tyler durden
man i had to learn all this myself though marketplaces like cough cough alphabay cough cough
"We aren't terrorists, or brown"
LOL
[3:11] Literally watching this video on an HP Stream 11. (The stock video laptop looks almost exactly like mine.)
great content, keep it coming!
Another option: Feather
nice nerdcave! Great content! Reasonable opinions! 😀👍
it is not airgapped. Look at the wifi sign on the top right corner :D
haha yes I meant when it's unplugged, that's a really important thing to note tho I'm gonna pin the networking update to this solution
Idk if im watching a tutorial or a comedy special
how it be
I like your intro 😂
Dude you are a gem on youtube!
I love your energy! Cheers man!
The fact that you only have 447 subs is an absolute war crime. This was the funniest goddamn video I have ever seen. As a DNM "security researcher" for the past 6 years, I can attest that all your comments and concerns are bang on accurate. I'm just now making the switch from BTC to XMR and this was the perfect tutorial. +1 sub/like/comment/share...you fucking dork haha

@@NickTheHuman Oh yeah and one more thing. I, too, am rocking the single twin bed, forever-alone starter kit....
...the struggle is real.
When you said "staph! Stop it, what are you doing".. I burst out laughing and had to carefully place the chamomile teacup down to finish laughing.
Edit to say, how this video was recommended to me from a Kyle Kinane standup special is anyones guess 😂
what about cakewallet /
I have been using feather wallet on windows :(. I am starting to use tails now. Would you recommend using a new wallet completely? Or use same seed?
4:40 W thief
this is quite entertaining
mucho gracias
Great video thanks
glad you enjoyed it man! :)
My wallet not opening brother 😢😢
showing 😢
Operation did not complete successfully because the file contains a virus or potentially unwanted software.
Please help me
what operation and when?
@@NickTheHuman this is error on time when wallet open 😔
@@shahdeep6641 just restart entirely and try again / read wiki instructions for wallet docs.featherwallet.org/
@@NickTheHuman thank you brother 🤜🏻
0:02 I have paranoid schizophrenia
#relatable
opinion on hosting your own monero node? and maybe a vid on it?
It’s better for the network as a whole and really easy. Sure, i’ll make a video on it and post ASAP. a little busy rn though.
i found my people ( i appreciate the laughs )
inshallah
instant sub
I fucking knew you were going to make a schizophrenia joke lmao 💀
nidger did indeed sound bad, that said, great video
Feather wallet doesnt load and just freezes when I Right click it after turning execution permissions on. Any help with this? Windows 11 btw but I’m on tails
first thing in my head: research linux terminal until you can navigate, then utilize ps command to see what's going on a bit more. when things freeze up it feels like its always related to memory consumption / cpu usage.
Better answer: type "freezing when right clicking tails" into google
When you set up your persistence did you make the addition installed software on?
yes
lol you are funny, subbed
I missed the point where you installed your feather wallet on your large SSD. It appeared to me that you installed the wallet on your 16Gb tails flash drive. What was the point of the 1Tb SSD?
good catch, I used a vid from something else for that part. you can put tails on the external ssd just as well. The point is: having enough storage space and speed to host the monero blockchain locally, which is THE way to do it if you actually value the project and it’s philosophy. Also, it’s the safest option for interacting with the network. it’s 100+ gb and increasing every day.
Bro, correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t be better if you used the Monero GUI Wallet?
@@umalivealeatoria5474 Not better, not worse. I like feather wallet, but also like the GUI. Reason I don't go with GUI sometimes is because it's "heavier" (lol) and on lower end computers can be annoying imo. Either is ok tho
TRUST ME- NEVER LOSE YOUR SEED PHRASES, OR CONFUSE TWO DIFFERENT ACCOUNTS SEED PHRASES…. it’s a pain to verify…
Average MDA user i feel though so all good lol
nice 👍🏻

Ur hilarious bro made my morning oPsEC
so whenever i boot into tails the wallet stays there and encrypted? and could i do the same for password manager? or does it go all amnesic
Only stuff in persistent storage stays on your flash drive, all else goes away. I also think you can do the same with password manager just get one that won't get hacked like lastpass
If monero wallet is a weakest link then what is the point of all this other secure stuff?
idk what part of the vid ur referencing specifically; but generally in regard to zero-sum adversarial conflicts, defense-in-depth (layered stacking of defensive measures) is correlated with desirable outcomes historically from the perspective of the defender. This truth can also be applied with great success to systems / operations you wish to protect from adversaries within the digital battlescape.
@@NickTheHuman Understood, the emphasis on defense-in-depth highlights the importance of multi-layered security. However, if the Monero wallet 11:43 itself is a vulnerability within Tailwind OS, it makes me question the overall efficacy of surrounding it with extensive security measures. Essentially, doesn’t a vulnerable core compromise the integrity of the entire system, despite the layered defenses?
@@aijokker What you say is true, however: There's a good graph that displays an exponential curve, where as you increase security of a system, usability goes down, until you have the most secure, least usable security protocol. Every system is going to be vulnerable in some way, shape or form; you just have to calculate the amount of risk you are willing to incur. In the pinned comment, I linked the reddit post for this video: Go there if you wish to see the hyper-secure airgapped methodology. Definitely worth it for large sums of crypto, but way less usable
Tails is not really stable /_/
THANK YOU NICK!! You seem like an interesting youtuber and your content is really entertaining, also you're very cute ｡･:･ﾟ☆ new sub ! （´∀`）ｂ (I'm schizotypic need this shit smh)

the WHAT?
😭😂😂
Consider self-censoring.
And lose myself to the zietgeist? What sort of man would I be if I limited my speech to arbitrarily appease... what sort of creatures would I be surrounded by?
My speech: That which I use to alter the world around me. To express my soul.
No man at all, I think. I would cease to exist.
For fun; if I should "self-censor", what shall I use to judge whether or not I ought to say some thing or another?
Currently, it is the degree in which I laugh and smile. Do you have a better metric to go by?
In the end, I shall die, and no one will remember me.
I, as a speck of a speck in space held in focus for a meaninglessly small moment in time, will not disrespect the Gods and hold my tongue in fear of that negative outcome which resides within your imagination. If my words do indeed end up causing harm or death or destruction of my fellow man, so be it; I cannot see the future anyway. It is the will of whatever determines all things and their outcomes.
also ur a nerd shut up lol

do yu got telegram I gotta question I needa ask
for access to my top secret telegram channel (verified wealthy alpha males only) you must send 500,000 macedonian denars through either cashapp or venmo to my estate manager , francesco . i will telepathically communicate the link to you brother
just send the money to the example wallet created in this video, it was created in tails so it is safe
