I'm thinking of putting 50% of my coins in paper wallets, but I have always been worried that the private key won't work when it's time to claim them
Please you who know how these things work, ease my worries.
You should be making the paper wallets on an offline computer. Nothing prevents you from testing the private keys on a wallet like electrum, on that offline computer. |

This is the 4th time on 6hr chart that we've had these bumps back up $750+. Each time though the overall trend is it drops lower.
I hope we can get a REAL breakout on one of these and stay up finally. Until then I definitely don't trust the increase in price as having staying power. We

There's a wall forming at $15000, and another at $15500 on bitfinex. Maybe those are due for demolition during the next few hours. |

Then don't do it. Buy some $50 refurbished piece of poo laptop from Ebay and take out the wifi card before doing anything with it. |
