Hello everyone,

I bought bitcoin and litecoin in 2012 and at that time i was 16. I had a shit computer and didnt know much about cryptocurrency so decided to sell them (im a fucking idiot). I just got back into it about 6 months ago but am a noob and have only bought stuff on coinbase. Im trying to by Bytecoin and some other lesser known crytpo, but i dont trust bittrex or poloniex as ive only heard bad things.

How can i buy some of those and then transfer it to a USB or something similar?

Whats the best way to sell cryptocurrency when you want to dump?

Why would i have to use Ebay? I have no problem buying off the exchanges. Ive just read a ton about how you shouldnt keep them in the exchanges. Ive heard of paper wallets being used too.

>download and set up software wallet (literally search "coin" wallet
>transfer the coin from the exchange to your wallet
>export private key to USB with a name and optionally uninstall the wallet
>reinstall wallet and import private key if you want to access your funds

Okay thank you.

Whats the purpose of uninstalling the wallet?

Also im running an Arch-based linux. Do most wallets support Arch OS?

Well you wanted to store it on a USB so I assumed you didn't want to store it on your computer, so at that point a wallet would be useless. (you aren't storing it in the wallet, you are storing it on USB)
Actually Linux has better support than windows I think, most wallets come out on Linux before Windows, but you might have to compile it yourself if they don't provide a package.

ahh okay, thats good to know. And yea i was just confused because i didnt know if that step contributed anything to the USB part.
