📜Making a Paper Wallet

The main purpose of a paper wallet is to quickly create a wallet to start receiving funds.

You will not be able to spend or send your funds to other people until you set up a CLI, GUI or Web Wallet.

There are two options for a paper wallet.

Go to this GitHub repository(on a machine connected to the internet).

To use it, follow these steps:

Windows

Click on Clone or Download
Click on Download ZIP
Extract the .zip file to a directory of your choice (say, C:/paper)
Copy/paste the files through a flash drive to your air-gapped machine.
Open the folder where you pasted the files, (say C:/paper) and double click on index.html
Follow these steps.

Linux

Open the terminal
Install git if it's not already installed (apt-install git)
Type, git clone https://github.com/kryptokrona/kryptokrona-paperwallet-generator.gitand press enter
Then enter cd kryptokrona-paperwallet-generator
After doing so, enter index.html
A page should open up in your browser
Follow these steps.

Click on Generate a Wallet
Mash your keyboard and start entering a bunch of random letters, numbers and signs in the field. Make sure you toggle on Caps Lock repeatedly! (Don't go too crazy - otherwise you might end up shutting down your PC!)
After you're done mashing your keyboard, press Generate Wallet
The letters and numbers in the green box, starting with SEKR, is your public address. You can share it freely.
Save the Seed Phrase, the 25 words in the red box, safely. DO NOT SHARE IT WITH ANYONE. Anyone who has access to this can access your funds and has complete control over your wallet.
Save the Spend Key and the View Key, the two very long strings of (seemingly) random letters and numbers, safely. DO NOT SHARE IT WITH ANYONE. Anyone who has access to this can access your funds and has complete control over your wallet.
