I use Armory. I think FSP-Rebel does too. These are good instructions on how to set it up. You need an offline computer that never touches the internet. It also has you make a paper backup incase the offline pc ever takes a dump for whatever reason. Once you watch all these videos it'll make sense how the process of having an offline wallet is similar to storing metals in your own safe.

I know the feeling when you're waiting for a transaction to clear and the confirmations are on the slow side. Like, did my shit just vanish and then relief finally comes.

I wonder if this is anticipation of news? Insiders. Watch carefully for what gets announced tomorrow. Coinbase news pumped before release I believe. This will either materialize into something or not soon...
