Using StrongCoin

Strong Coin – A slightly More Secure Alternative

Strong coin is an advanced wallet that allows you to encrypt access to your online wallet. The service does not directly store your Bitcoin keys – only an encrypted version of them. Javascript in your browser will decrypt your keys locally and allow you to spend your Bitcoins. This allows you to place more trust in their service because only you will have the key to access your Bitcoins. If their site gets hacked, there is no way to steal Bitcoins from the accounts without additional computational attacks.

Visit https://StrongCoin.com to create a login account.

Once you’re logged in, create a new account (this is a Bitcoin address).

There are a couple ways to create a Bitcoin address, but for now, launch the generator.

Type in a password and click Generate.

Now you’ll see some cryptographic properties of the Bitcoin that was generated. Apply a label so you can easily identify it later. If you like, call it Default for now and save it.

Now you’ll see your Bitcoin address on your Account page.

The Public Key is the address used to receive your Bitcoins.
