..
You can move the coins straight from the online wallet to the paper wallet, just pay it in to the address

I will do that.
Thanks you all for the help.

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

I don't really want to use Bitcoin-QT as it takes millions of days to download the blockchain, also i want to make sure it's offline so I can sleep at night!!

I'm not sure if that is considered cold-storage because the private key 'lives' online at blockchain.info and is vulnerable if the site ever gets hacked.

Yeah, I honestly just need a way to create some private keys offline using Linux or Tails or something.

Give bitcoinpaperwallet.com a try. I'm sure you could boot up with a clean ubuntu and open the website in a browser and create a wallet. That's pretty much tinfoil hat safe if you ask me Wink

Doesn't HAVE to be offline but I guess that's safer.
