Here's my current formula > Regular paycheck in bank > Circle Pay or Coin Base to buy BTC > then to Mycelium.
I consider Mycelium to be my "Safe." That's where I'm keeping my hoard of btc. But I'm quickly learning that isn't really an option because I'm also sending small transactions from that wallet to my brother, my two sons, etc. So now I'm viewing Mycelium as like my carrying around small change bitcoin. $100 or so.
I REALLY REALLY like the idea of a paper wallet that's completely offline. Where I can sent many transactions TO that public address.....but never remove from it. That would be my ultimate vault.
But I don't understand HOW I could actually check the "balance" of the paper wallet from time to time. Just to be sure, without compromising it?
And my plan seems so simple but it's driving me nuts that I can't figure this out.
I want an air tight system where I can send BTC, repeatedly, never having scanned the private key, but yet, I want the ability to be able to see what amount of money is actually in there. UGgggggg.......please help.
