Hello! I created 12 paper wallets a time back. I created everyone at the same time, but everyone has their own private key. I have BTC on 3 of them. If i deposit everything from one of them, to my mycelium wallet, Nothing happens to the other ones right? Sorry for the noob question, but i know some people have gotten burned, with not withdrawing the whole amount at once. Just double checking that they are totally separated, and i don't somehow lose access to the BTC, on the other paper wallets ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

The private keys are completely seperated, so you can feel free to even sweep one of them at a time. And i do not know what you mean by "getting burned" because bitcoin does not disappear unless you lose the private keys. However it is recommended to transfer funds from the paper wallet as your camera will see the private key and some malware might get access to your funds left in that wallet.
After you are done with emptying the wallets, be sure to check LoyceV's fork claiming guide as you probably own alot of extra crypto from the forks.

Thanks!
What i had heard, was that if you only withdraw some of the amount from a paper wallet, the change might somehow ended up on another address?

Oh yeah, sorry i forgot about that (forgot that sweeping transfers everything). All of the BTC will be in your mycelium wallet, if you sweep the paper wallet. There is no change at all, it just transfers the balance from private key and transfer it to mycelium generated keys. Don't worry about it, you are good to go! However for sum like 3BTC, you should get Ledger Nano S or Trezor as both are around 100$ at most ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Nano S supports more cryptos than trezor, and they are pretty user friendly as well as the generation of the seed is really secure as the seed is never shown on the computer screen, nor it does ever go to the computer.

This happened to quite a few people. They didn't sweep the coins (sweeping: wallet creates a transaction to a self-generated address within your wallet), but imported the private key into the wallet and then made a transaction (not using the full amount). What happened was: The wallet created a TX with the input from the imported paper wallet and two outputs (standard), with one destination amount and 1 change outpout to a change-address of the wallet. But those people thought the 'remaining' amount still is on their paper wallet. This was simply due to not understanding how bitcoin/transaction works. So, if you follow ONE of these two steps, you are fine: 1) Sweep the paper wallet. From this moment your paper wallet is 'empty' 2) Import your private keys and either spend the full amount OR keep a backup of the wallet used for importing (because of change address)

I got my Nano S yesterday, thats why im sweeping one of the wallets now ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Why are you sweeping those coins? The paper wallets are still your most secure method to store those coins. After the last firmware upgrade and the Man-in-the-middle attacks on the Ledger, I am hesitant to move coins from cold storage to my hardware wallets. The idea behind paper wallets is to store coins for long-term and if you not going to use those coins, why then move it to a hardware wallet? Remember : Those paper wallets might still have forked coins. <Bitcoin Cash / Bitcoin Gold etc> Do not throw them away. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

If i spend parsel amounts from the ledger wallet, will my funds still be on the ledger wallet, or will my change end up on the mycelium wallet?

Almost all of them (if not all) are just shitforks which will be worth cents at most. P.s-2: Don't blindly download a fork wallet and import your paper wallet to spend the fork coins. I'm pretty sure some forks are just baits made to steal people's wallets.

Yes... because you sent the full amount to your Ledger, then nothing you do from that point on will involve Mycelium (unless you explicitly send something back to the Mycelium wallet). So, any "change" generated from a transaction sent from the Ledger, will go back to your Ledger wallet.

Do a test run with one wallet and monitor that wallet. Also see if the forked coins were swept from that wallet, before you sweep the rest or the wallets with the bigger amounts. I have several Ledger wallets with the firmware upgraded and I have never lost any coins, so you should be fine. I have to say, Ledger reacted very quick and it was not really a hack. It was more a exploit that could have led to people losing coins, if they did not patch the firmware. <The man-in-the-middle attack can happen on any hardware wallet>

If they ( those empty addresses) didn't have any balance before the forks ( which is obviously none for an unfunded paper wallet), will not get any forked coins at all. I assume that your post was a reply to the top post before that reply. Otherwise: wait what? ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif)

Well there is an easier way for you to check which forkcoins you own. Try this service: http://www.findmycoins.ninjaYou can paste all of the public keys there, and it will show you the amount of coins that you own of the forks.
