Hacker attacks, which use malware to reveal a hacker&#039;s Bitcoin addresses, are a particularly serious threat. In this article, you&#039;ll learn step by step how to receive Bitcoin securely without falling victim to such attacks. We&#039;ll use the Sparrow Wallet PC app and the Specter DIY hardware wallet to verify Bitcoin addresses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Tutorial - Receive Bitcoin securely with Sparrow Wallet &amp; Specter DIY\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9BSCecZXbT8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Risks of receiving Bitcoin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most common threats when receiving Bitcoins is fake QR codes and Bitcoin addresses manipulated by viruses. This poses a direct risk if you want to receive Bitcoins securely. This means you&#039;re sending Bitcoins to a hacker-generated address instead of the correct one. However, this problem can be avoided by checking the address displayed on your PC with a hardware wallet beforehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"1080\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1920 \/ 1080;\" width=\"1920\" controls src=\"https:\/\/clavastack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Hacker-hackt.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

Step-by-step guide to receiving Bitcoin securely<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Prepare your wallet<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Sparrow Wallet, go to the function <em>Receive<\/em> to generate a new receiving address. Make sure you always select an unused address; this is important for privacy reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/clavastack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/myImage-3-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot von der Sparrow Wallet zum Bitcoin sicher empfangen\" class=\"wp-image-6219\" srcset=\"https:\/\/clavastack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/myImage-3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/clavastack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/myImage-3-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/clavastack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/myImage-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/clavastack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/myImage-3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/clavastack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/myImage-3-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/clavastack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/myImage-3.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Enter seed words and passphrase<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you enter the seed words and, if applicable, a passphrase correctly in the Specter DIY. This is necessary for the next step. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>In the dashboard, the first question is whether you have selected the correct wallet.

This is the final step to securely receive Bitcoin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Security and privacy tips<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Address usage:<\/strong> Use a new Bitcoin address for each transaction to protect your privacy <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Labeling of addresses:<\/strong> Assign labels to your addresses in the Sparrow Wallet. This way, you can keep track of where the Bitcoin comes from and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Check clipboard:<\/strong> Make sure the address you have in your clipboard hasn&#039;t been compromised by malware.

Transaction and completion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once verified, you can securely send Bitcoin to the verified address. It takes some time for the transaction to be confirmed on the network, so be patient. Once confirmed, you can view your transaction and current balance in the Sparrow Wallet, allowing you to securely manage your transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/clavastack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/myImage-6-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Hier erkennt man in der Sparrow Wallet das Bitcoin angekommen sind\" class=\"wp-image-6225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/clavastack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/myImage-6-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/clavastack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/myImage-6-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/clavastack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/myImage-6-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/clavastack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/myImage-6-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/clavastack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/myImage-6-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/clavastack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/myImage-6.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion:<\/strong> Combining Sparrow Wallet and Specter DIY offers you a highly secure method to receive Bitcoin safely and protect yourself from hacker attacks.
