STEPS TO GENERATING AN EOS KEY PAIR OFFLINE
• 1. Download key generator page to your computer or a flash drive:
https://nadejde.github.io/eos-token-sale/
(Use at your own risk and discretion)
Put it somewhere easily accessible when you boot into Linux, such as C:\eos-key\ or on a separate flash drive. I recommend not putting it on your desktop, nor in your "Documents folder", nor in a deeply nested folder.
• 2. Download Ubuntu operating system (to be installed on a flash drive):
https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop
• 3. Follow the instructions for your operating system:
https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu#0
A. (Windows users) If you are using Windows, follow these instructions:
https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-windows
B. (Mac users) If you are using Mac, follow these instructions:
https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-macos
C. (Ubuntu users) If you are already using Ubuntu, follow these instructions:

• 4. Disconnect your Internet cable
• 5. Reboot your machine. Boot straight into Ubuntu using your flash drive (if it doesn't automatically boot using your flash drive, you may have to configure your boot drive options in BIOS by pressing "DEL" at startup screen when you first turn on your computer)
• 6. When the Ubuntu operating system has finished booting, load the saved webpage for generating your keypair (Where you saved it in Step 1 above). Click "Generate EOS key".
• 7. Print or write down your new key pair (EOS public address and private keys)
Important Note: If you write it by hand, write the private key multiple times and triple check it. You can always derive the public address from the private key later if you need to. You cannot derive the private key. If that is lost, you will have lost your entire account and all associated funds.
Note: To print from Ubuntu, you may need to have the drivers for your printer if Ubuntu does not recognize your printer model.
• 8. (Optional step) See my other video on how to use the Greymass wallet to use your newly generated keypair for your "owner" or "active" permission levels:
