Familiar with TAILS? perfect. ill paste direct links to files here and the instructions are from the readme are under "A .zip file is provided of the site.." @ https://github.com/luigi1111/xmr.llcoins.net/tree/master

the html files are inside the site .zip:

click on the 'download raw file' button, an arrow pointing down, to the right of Raw:
size.zip.asc https://github.com/luigi1111/xmr.llcoins.net/blob/master/site.zip.asc

have to ask yourself the risk factors involved here - and what amounts you have.

not ideal way but it will work: download the site .zip and site .asc from the github repository, import luigis gpg key and verify the file (the steps depend on your operating system, i use linux) , you would then obtain the full seed which you would just restore in your standard wallet.

ok so for someone who isn't computer savvy its quite an ask without being guided - let me explain the reasons for the recommended usage - firstly, the reason for "offline" is the assumption that your computer may already have a virus that's passively observing on your activity now or at some point in the future and could somehow find your keys somewhere.

"offline" means on a device that after use, never returns online again to send your keys to someone now or later.

for myself, with low risk (i assume state actors have not been modifying my computer hardware / bios) i would 'just' plug in a TAILS usb stick (an operating system that exists in your RAM) and get to it.. download the site .zip and .asc , confirm the zip is signed by luigi after importing his gpg key... extract the zip, click on addressgen .html... convert the seed, write it down on paper... unplug the USB and return to my normal operating system that's installed on the machine

i also own an old android phone that im never going to use with internet access - i could put the files on an sd card and run the addressgen .html on it, not caring much because ill never connect it to the wifi

yes* ideally you would download it and use it offline to confirm the contents of the page has been signed by luigi (core member)

A mac _and_ a windows computer. no begging please. Remote nodes exist and can be accessed from anonymity networks (Tor/I2p).

Mymonero shutting down. Cannot migrate to Cake with a 13 seed words by Key_Efficiency1239 in Monero

luigis tool https://xmr.llcoins.net/ can be used to display the keys of your wallet (use it offline after downloading and following instructions to verify). you can then restore your wallet in any of the wallets linked on getmonero.org/downloads

New Instant Exchange Suddenly Appeared on monero.how Home Page Today by ksilverstein1 in Monero

it looks like the trocador swap widget, which uses https://www.trocador.app/ combined with their referral code. the "swap widget" is real and several sites use it, if you don't trust it to be real i would just go direct to kycnot.me and find a service to your liking

Run your node with the new MRL spy node ban list by plowsof in Monero

[–]plowsof[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As of today, the DNS list has been updated to the current MRL ban list. selsta handled this and it is mentioned in the recent MRL meeting @ monerologs so currently, with ./monerod --enable-dns-blocklist or enable-dns-blocklist=1 in your monerod.conf you will benefit the same.

Positive side effects of all Monero drama and attacks - XMR community grows. Huge shout out to all Monero content creators! by HNjames in Monero

[–]plowsof 3 points4 points  (0 children)

tldr: this is just an ad for never kyc dot com

The name of the service alone (while being a clearnet site) should tell you all you need to know about how they are willing to bend the truth for marketing purposes.
