 ## Overview
 
-Decred’s Proof-of-Stake system requires participants to have a wallet permanently connected to the Internet in order to purchase tickets, participate in governance and receive voting rewards. This introduces extra risk when compared to storing coins on cold storage (e.g. paper wallets). Using a [Voting Service Provider (VSP)](../proof-of-stake/how-to-stake.md#pos-using-a-voting-service-provider-vsp) mitigates most of the risks by running multiple always-online wallets which will vote on your behalf, however this option is not viable for all users.

 This page will guide you through creating a setup which is akin to running your own VSP. "Hot" wallets are permanently online to perform voting activities, while funds remain in a separate "cool" wallet which controls ticket buying, receives voting rewards, and importantly, does not need to be permanently online.

 - SPV wallets only download blocks which have transactions related to their owned addresses, which could potentially reveal more information about the wallet than if it downloaded every single block. This only presents a very minor decrease in privacy, but it is a decrease nonetheless. This can be mitigated by downloading blocks from multiple peers so no single peer is able to see the full list of blocks downloaded by a wallet. Even if a passive observer on the network is able to see which blocks are downloaded by a wallet, they are not able to identify which transactions in those blocks are relevant.
