Spend the btc by scaning the private key to your wallet in blockchain.info or use mycelium wallet on your mobile

Most wallets have an import feature. Many phone wallets can scan a private key's QR code and many computer wallets will let you type in the private key.

You mean scanning that strange square thingy? I don't have it, it's a pen and paper wallet. Just the public key and the private key.

In that case you'll have to manually type the private key. Just make sure to sweep it rather than importing it, and don't use that address again. It's much more secure that way. What wallet do you have or plan to use? Several wallets have the option to sweep it. If you don't decide which one yet I recommend you Electrum. There you just have to go to Wallet > Private keys > Sweep. Then manually type your private key and you're done.

Importing the key means it's attached to your wallet. It becomes one more address which the wallet can use and its private key is permanently stored there. Sweeping the key means creating a TX that spends everything from your 'paper' address into any address already present on your wallet. Sweeping is preferred basically for 2 reasons: - Your 'paper' address' private key was already stored somewhere and you typed it. As a result there's a small chance it was compromised in the process (key logger, malware). Therefore you shouldn't use it again and sweeping allows you that. - Most wallets are now HD so a single backup holds every address, even those not used yet. If you import the address it wouldn't be on the HD backup and you could eventually lose it.

Also don't forget about "change addresses". Lots of people lost bitcoin because they didn't understand "change addresses".
Basically, if you import your paper wallet to, say, a mobile wallet, and you don't use all the bitcoins that were associated with the paper wallet, make sure to create a new paper wallet and send the "change" or "unspent" amount to this new paper wallet. Some people think that the unspent amount would still be associated with the old paper wallet.

If you have a computer then choose a desktop wallet such as Electrum but if you don't have access to a computer and only mobile then Mycelium is a good wallet for Android. I would recommend blockchain.info wallet as the last resource, since it is an online wallet and is not considered safe. You can get more info on different type of wallets here: https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet Also, make sure to take back up of keys/wallet of the new wallet before sweeping the paper wallet in it.

For android, Bitcoin Wallet has such a feature: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.schildbach.wallet&hl=en. Mycelium is a much better choice IMO, it supports BIP38 decryption which is a encryption standard which paper wallet uses. If you don't have Qr code, consider using Electrum on desktop instead.

Then go to Cold storage and then select [Get private key from clipboard]. This would allow you to send to other addresses. Lock this topic if it's solved.

So, no mycelium without a qr code? Cant i just type the private key? Go here: https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org , download the Zip file, take it to an off-line machine, extract it and open bitaddress.org.html in a browser, move your mouse around till the functions become active then click on "Wallet Details" and type your Key to "Enter Private Key" field and hit "View Details", it will show the Qr code of the private key below, use open your mycelium and scan the qr code.
