Title: Moving coins from paper wallet to BIP38 paper wallet
Post by: mdotstrange on December 12, 2014, 05:21:43 AM
Any tips? Or best practices I should follow?

I've generated the new BIP 38 paper wallets using an offline version of bitaddress.org-

Was planning on importing the old paper wallet keys with the Mycelium android app- and sending the coin to the new BIP 38 address-

Does this sound ok? Thanks-

offline designed transaction is better method than importing into your android.

So using something like http://bitkey.io/ (http://bitkey.io/)would be better?

Seems so, although havent checked out that particular solution, so I can't vouch for it.
But it says "air gapped transactions" so thats the right intention.

Yes sweeping with Mycelium works great. I did it in the past and IIRC it even handles change appropriately[1] for you. That should not be an issue in your case anyway.

[1] as in: change goes to address the wallet controlls not back to the paperwallet.
