Hi Guys,

I am storing a few coins on blockchain.info paper wallet and I have a couple of questions regarding this:

1, I generated the paper wallets meanwhile I was online, I was not aware of that it would work offline too. So, is there any proof that the site is not recording the paper wallet private keys somehow?
so my cold wallets in fact safe?

2, what happens if blockchain.info is down and I need to get access to my paper wallets? best way to load them into a hot wallet? (heard mtGox could do this but that is no solution any more)

Thanks

1. NO. NO PROOF. DO NOT TRUST ANY PAPER WALLET YOU DIDN'T GENERATE SECURELY OFFLINE.

2. There are a number of wallet software that support importing a private key to turn your paper wallet into a hot one.  ie. Bitcoin-qt or multibit
