Title: How Do You Check The Balance....... Post by: LFC_Bitcoin on December 08, 2014, 11:32:31 AM How do you check the balance of a paper wallet (in cold storage).
It's nice to reassure yourself a few times a week that your entire balance is still there lol. ;D Title: Re: How Do You Check The Balance....... Post by: TinEye on December 08, 2014, 11:34:58 AM blockchain.info

I got to the stage where I just couldn't leave that kind of balance on an online wallet. I think extra paranoia is good in this game though. Title: Re: How Do You Check The Balance.......

Post by: Amph on December 08, 2014, 02:02:54 PM blockchain.info /thread but use this version, it's better because it's support multi address and other stuff http://btc.blockr.io/address/info/19AacmFGwCjMkhKs5qJoxsPe5PQy2CGqe8 Title: Re: How Do You Check The Balance....... Post by: dothebeats on December 08, 2014, 03:41:50 PM Just simply copy the address and search it on the blockchain. :)
Do it like this: http://blockchain.info/address/youraddresshere Title: Re: How Do You Check The Balance....... Post by: LFC_Bitcoin on December 08, 2014, 03:59:35 PM Interesting that you can search the balance of any public address.
You can see the balance that fellow posters here have in their wallets (the donation addresses in their sig any way) Title: Re: How Do You Check The Balance.......

You can see the balance that fellow posters here have in their wallets (the donation addresses in their sig any way) For this reason, use separate wallets for different sites and do not transfer or use your normal wallets with these addresses. ;D People follow bread crumbs to your treasures. Leave your stash in cold storage/paper wallets. Title: Re: How Do You Check The Balance....... Post by: ChuckBuck on December 08, 2014, 09:03:03 PM Whatever you do, don't put all your stash on one paper wallet. Break it into a few denominations like you'd do with regular money.
Like you wouldn't have a single $1000 bill lying around, you'd have a few hundred, a few twenties, etc all split up accordingly. Title: Re: How Do You Check The Balance.......

It's the best advice going to be fair. I also have two copies of each wallet laminated. Title: Re: How Do You Check The Balance.......

People can see that you have millions of dollars but if you made the wallet securely, they will never be able to access those funds! Title: Re: How Do You Check The Balance.......

Title: Re: How Do You Check The Balance....... Post by: Peter882 on December 10, 2014, 07:29:06 AM Other than checking your address balance on block explorers, you could also make a watch-only wallet to keep track of your balance. It is convenient if you have multiple paper wallets and don't want to check the address balance one by one.
