Hello I forgot to give a update. I first tried to use Electrum, but it couldn't handle BIP38. So I used Mycelium (Android) instead. I made all transfers with Myceliym including the transfer to the new addresses. The phone was connected to the internet the whole time, but I never reuse paper wallet addresses and the old are empty now.

The new addresses are generated with a air-gapped PC and the paper is folded so I don't accidental take any pictures of my private key, but it's easy enough to scan the public key.   

I know it's not the most secure way but it got the job done, I mean now when my BTC is at my new addresses it should be aright now?

Thanks for the help Jackg!

jackg, thanks. Yes but from what I could understand, it's more important to have a long password than special characters. It's better to remember a long sentence (a uncommon sentence, just jibberish).

The difficulty will be incremental by every added character, it's easier to remember a long sentence, the password example I gave is a 88 char password. It will take a couple of quadragintillion years to crack.

From my understanding, the length of the password is crucial, when talking crack/brute force time.

Example :

"The dog took me for a walk two times today. But I couldn't see the bird behind the tree"

I found this page: www.blockonomics.co, it can track multiple addresses

Thanks, but it's not working (error: The Blockchain.info API is down or not working correctly. So thats why all addresses show zero balance.). Any alternative?

Hello!

I want to track multiple watch addresses for my transactions, but I can't find a block explorer that support that.

What should I use?

Thanks!

Thanks jackg. Yes I have a few spare old android phones. Going to reset it before I use it.

@jackg - I have ordered a webcam for future paper wallets, so I can use that on my air-gapped machine.

Yes I'm considering using Electrum or Mycelium for android, for moving coins between paper wallets, just to make the process a bit easier.

I would say that Electrum seems a bit more secure than Mycelium, because Electrum uses SPV validation and Mycelium uses central validation.

I still need to trust the trusted list from Electrum nodes (SPV).

Ok, thanks!


Ah, can I use my android phone for this? Electrum seems to have a android app, do you recommend Electrum instead of Mycelium?


Well I thought it would be easier just to use a old phone to move the funds between paper wallets, but it's maybe secure enough? The process for signing offline transactions seems quite difficult, I'm afraid of doing something wrong, want a quite straight forward process.  

I will still generate the new private addresses on a air-gapped machine, but the move is going to be pretty "hot" with a android phone and Mycelium or Electrum.  

Hello!

Three questions:

1. My old (2-3y) paper wallets are generated with bitaddress.org, is it still considered safe? I use it on a Air-Gapped PC with ubuntu live usb stick.

2. I'm going to move funds from paperwallets (pre segwith), so I have also Bitcoin cash. Going to move it to other paper wallets. How should I move it? I guess I also need a paperwallet for my Bitcoin Cash?

3. A reserve android phone with Mycelium app installed is very temping, I can scan the private QR code and scan the receive address of the new wallet and move it?

Thanks

Thank you TryNinja! I will try it.

Are you kidding me? I have no control over the data sent through facebook or messenger. Sending private keys through services you don't control is not a great idea.

I'm looking for a secure and open source qr-code reader for android, one that don't collect data, hopefully one that can send the information through a USB cable, don't really know how yet. Maybe I need to order a webcam...

Hello!

a few questions. I don't have a webcam.

1. I'm planning to move my paper wallets to new wallets. I have a offline computer, can I some way use a old phone as a qr-scanner and import it, if the phone has no internet connection and is reset? Or do I need to type the private key manually for all the paper wallets?

Sometimes I want to scan the paper wallet to a offline air-gapped machine and import the BIP38 key and double check that it's encrypted with the correct key. But it's getting old pretty quick to manually enter the keys.


2. Would it be possible/safe to use The android Bitcoin wallet to import the old paper wallet and then move coins to a new paper wallet with my android wallet? It's encrypted BIP38.

I hope I make any sense! I appreciate any help.

What are the chances a hard fork will succeed with two chains? Would be glad if someone could enlight me.

So bitcoin will be hijacked and core devs will be pushed out? Is this true and even possible?

So maybe I should be cold and wait to buy more? I don't have a infinite supply of FIAT Maybe it will drop more the closer it gets to Aug 1.

But wont investors be more nervous the closer it gets to Segwit? Wouldn't that theoretical have a bigger impact?


Just guessing, the hard fork take over last time had a big impact from what I can remember.



Yeah, well I'm not very active any more. I try to read up on the market when I have money to invest. Everything I have in BTC is very long term.

I have two roads
1. Buy now
2. Wait and see if the Segwit will have any impact

Yeah seems that a few has too much power and that's really disturbing

The old hard fork battle, which caused a major vote if I remember correctly caused a lot of drama and a big drop in price, but that was some time ago now, maybe 1-2 years ago.

So your idea is that I should buy more coins on a high, not when it's low? That's not what I have been doing the last 4 years.

What do you mean by rally? Do you mean fluctuations in price? Why do you think it will be more tense?


When will Segwit be decided, are there a lot of drama because of it? I have been gone for a while .

Thanks
