help Bitcoin Computer Pi-Wallet FAQ
How does the Bitcoin Computer Pi-Wallet protect private keys?
The Pi-Wallet is designed to generate and store Bitcoin private keys offline, reducing exposure to internet-connected malware. Transactions still require careful confirmation because offline key storage does not protect against every form of user error or theft.
Can a Pi-Wallet send Bitcoin without exposing the private key online?
A hardware wallet normally signs transactions on the device while keeping the private key inside the wallet. The signed transaction can then be broadcast through compatible wallet software, but the exact workflow depends on Pi-Wallet's supported software.
What happens if the Pi-Wallet is lost?
Recovery depends on the backup phrase created during setup. Anyone who obtains that phrase may be able to control the Bitcoin, so it should be stored offline and never entered into an untrusted website.
Is the Pi-Wallet the same as keeping Bitcoin on an exchange?
No. An exchange usually controls the wallet keys for customer accounts, while a hardware wallet is intended to give the owner direct control of the private keys. The tradeoff is that the owner becomes responsible for backups, device security, and recovery.
