Safer Paper wallet - What do you think ?

[OmegaStarScream]

Software will be Open-Source obviously since no one is going to run an .exe on a PC full of bitcoins  

I got this idea , I'am not sure about the efficacy  and how safe is it from Keyloggers but I think in theory it should be fine .
Basically It would be a program written in C# that generate wallets obivously and print them .

It should work like the following :

Program generate private and public key and print them , however only public key will be visible to the user of the software which means a keylogger won't be able to catch it (Dosen't matter if it's clipboard , Audio recorder, video recorder or simple CaptureScreen or KeyStroke).

All will be made inside the program then the software simply print them directly (private and public keys) and also delete the printer cache so it dosen't leave trace of what it printed already and you would be safe .

Optional : once you printed , the software will add the printed adresses and check their balance and they will be on watch-only mode and once you receive anything .. well you get a notification .


I don't know if the idea sounds dump honestly , if it is then simply let me know if I could improve it to make something better .

How will you clear the printer cache of the printer itself? Some printers store jobs in nonvolatile memory.

There is some ways here if you scroll down : https://bitcoinpaperwallet.com/ , check out . I believe they could be done programmtically .
Program that I'am making is mostly for online attacks and and not offline and I assume that if you get attacked offline then your cold storage  (paper walletit self won't be safe either

Any one guys please ?
Just let me know if this would be good idea or not at all so I start on the project already ?

ty for the support , hopefully I can do all I mentioned since I'am not that high level programmer

Some people just don't have 30$ to spend on that product , Paper wallet is supposed to be the cheapest way and not expensive way to store bitcoins I believe. you could give suggestions instead if you think it's not good enough.

I'd want to know the key before I print them, I like to import the key(s) into an offline wallet like electrum to test that the keys and  address match each other before I send any funds to them because some time back I read somewhere that someone printed a paper wallet and due to some glitch or whatever the key and address were mismatched and the user lost some money because there was no way to recover the funds he send to that address. But still go ahead, I am sure others will like this feature.
