all right, in this video, we want to talk about transferring the crypto you now have to tails.
so this will be the same process for pretty much however you initially generate your crypto.
at some point, whether you use an exchange or an atm or a peer- to- peer, you'll need to eventually transfer it to a new wallet.
and what i would suggest doing is for most transactions to transfer it to your tails wallet.
this is because tails is pretty safe, right?
if anyone ever gets your tails usb, that crypto will be lost though, so you do need to be sure that you're keeping your seed safe and secure, written down somewhere hidden so you can recover it if your tails usb ever gets corrupted or lost.
but to start, we'll hop on over to tails.
we'll look at both bitcoin and monero and transferring it to tails.
so here on tails, there's two different things we can do.
we'll need a wallet to actually store the monero on tails.
tails does not currently come with a built- in monero wallet.
for this example, we'll be using feather.
i have the site pulled up on the tor browser in tails right now.
so that will be the preferred one to use.
and then obviously for bitcoin, if you just go, you would just want to use electrum, which is already built into tails.
so what we would need to do is actually generate wallets on both of these to actually send information to.
now, in previous videos, we've already set up electrum.
if you haven't though, you can just create a new wallet very simply through here, but we'll put in our password here.
and now what we'll do is we'll click receive here at the top.
we can do a requested amount here, or you can just leave it blank.
you can actually also add a description or you can leave it blank.
click create the request, and then you can see here on the right, it actually generated the code.
if you click that box, it will actually switch between a qr, which can be scanned, and then the actual address there.
so what you can do here at the bottom right is hit copy, and then we will send this in a chat to ourselves to move to our other device.
and what i will do is chat that to myself and then we'll switch to the other device, which currently has kraken open.
and on kraken, what we'll do is from our asset or our portfolio page, we can see here there is bitcoin.
and what we can do is actually withdraw it.
the network will just use bitcoin network, which means it'll take a little bit slower than lightning.
we can add a bitcoin address, but this would be it.
we'd add the which address.
we could say something like tails wallet, although i wouldn't recommend that.
you know, we don't want to identify what that wallet actually is or does.
and then we can say how much we want to send.
we'll say we want to send only maybe 50 percent of the bitcoin we have.
and if you wanted to switch this to actually see it in dollars, right, we're only doing 20 dollars as a test with, or we could go back to, to the bitcoin amount if we would like, but we'll do that.
and then we will click withdraw.
and that's really it.
we'll click withdraw and we can hop back over to tails.
and in just a little bit, you should see this balance temporarily update and a transaction come in.
it'll take some time, depending on how fast or slow the network is at the time when you do the transaction, it might take a little bit to show up.
so just be aware of that.
in the meantime, on tails, we can actually download feather and get that up and running.
so from the main homepage, which is featherwallet dot org, we can just go to this download it here button at the bottom.
and then we do see the app image right here.
now by default, it does save the app image in amnesia, meaning it will forget it.
so if you want this to be persistent, you might want to drag it over to the to one of the persistent directories to ensure it stays on your system.
so once it is there on a persistent file, you can just right click and edit the properties and we can say execute as a program to actually launch it.
if you try to launch it before that, it won't work, but now that we have clicked that, if we double click it, you'll see that it launches and we'll need to create a new wallet for this one as well.
so when it does actually go past the seed portion of this, we'll want to select where to save this and we do not want to save the wallet in amnesia.
be careful of that.
and this interface now, once it's done and actually loads your wallet up, it will look very similar to the way that you see electrum operate.
so feather is kind of based similarly, looks similar to electrum.
so we can do the very similar thing here, right?
we want to receive, let's say to this address, right, we will, we can just right click here, click copy address.
now in our chat window, we can send that address over.
and switching back to our browser over on this other machine, we can go to our portfolio.
we can look at monero, and then we can withdraw.
we need to add an address.
we'll say my xmr address.
then we'll need to actually add the withdraw address that we just copied.
we'll go ahead and do that.
we'll add that address.
it will ask us to confirm via email because we added a new address.
and once that is complete, we can determine how much.
we'll say we'll send half of our current xmr.
again, we can switch to see another 20 bucks.
we can withdraw and click withdraw.
and that is about it.
now we've successfully withdrawn our xmr and our bitcoin both from an exchange onto a tails.
and it will take some time for these to update.
so we'll just wait a minute here for them to actually show the transaction successfully.
all right.
and just a little bit later, we can see entails.
now both of the balances have updated within our feather wallet for monero and our electrum wallet for bitcoin.
so it did take some time, a couple hours actually for those transactions to come through, which is pretty normal for transactions, especially switching wallets from an exchange.
so it's definitely reasonable for it to take a while.
but now we have this money here in electrum in feather on tails, ready to use.
we've done the process pretty seamlessly.
if you have any questions up to this point, of course, let me know.
otherwise, we'll see you in the next one.
