Title: How do people update their wallet balances for paper wallets? Post by: puck2 on October 01, 2012, 05:20:02 AM Let's say I have a paper wallet under my mattress... How do I keep track of what its balance is? Couldn't I come back in a few years only to find out it has been cleaned out by some surreptitious snooper? ???
Title: Re: How do people update their wallet balances for paper wallets? Post by: DeathAndTaxes on October 01, 2012, 05:22:45 AM keep a unprotected list of the public addresses and look the current balance up on blockchain.info.
More advanced solution is to make a "watching wallet" (contains only the public addresses so it can't spend coins). Armory client and blockchain.info ewallet can both produce this. I also believe there is a service somewhere which will monitor the value of an address. Title: Re: How do people update their wallet balances for paper wallets?

I like http://btcbalance.net (not affiliated) to keep track of multiple read-only-addresses (up 'till 50, I believe), simple and easy to use.Title: Re: How do people update their wallet balances for paper wallets?

I wrote an app for iPhone to do it... Title: Re: How do people update their wallet balances for paper wallets? Post by: MarkOST on October 07, 2012, 11:01:55 PM So that's why Armory is so popular. Guess Ill start to generate a few of my own.
