Creating paper wallets are extremely easy. It’s so easy it feels very counter intuïtive.
Also paper wallet generators are created and maintained by people. People make mistakes. (Even the experienced programmers ;-))
So making a test paper wallet first is important!
So here the steps:
Go to featheraddress.org
Save the page to your desktop or somewhere else. Firefox File->save as. Chrome (control s)
To be sure disconnect your internet.
Open the locally saved page again. Firefox File->open. Chrome (control o)
Move your mouse for randomness
Print the address(es) on the first or second tab.
Towards those adresses you will send your coins. (this to me felt strange, you dont normally sent money to a non-existent bankaccount)
First test it out with a small amount of coins, and then see if you are able to import again !
On the client: help->console, # importprivkey privkeystring “label is optional” (I use a qr scanner app on my phone to get the private key, then send it by mail because could not find a proper free desktop scanner for ubuntu)
If this works send the rest of your coins to the different paper wallets, a paper wallet needs to be imported at once so dividing your coins to multiple paper wallets can be wise in case of huge price increases.
Don’t forget to print the wallet first, then send the coins to that wallet.
