How do I check the balance on my paper wallet?

do a paper wallet for an online wallet?

it is an paradox and useless, because if it is an online wallet your keys are already probably compromissed

I heard blockchain.info is a reliable and safe online wallet.

Yes, but they had some problems before with random number generators and such... You cannot rely 100% on it, because it is a online service and online services goes down. Any service where you

are not in control of your private key, carry some risks. I would not dump all my coins onto these online services, but rather keep the majority of it in cold storage and also shift some to a more

reliable hardware wallet like a Trezor.

Without doubt Blockchain.info is the best of all bitcoin wallets in terms of security as well ease of accessing.

There is a big IF there.  People need to use 2nd factor to get the full security.  I can't push 2nd factor enough for sites like blockchain.

Yubikey is really the best I have used for Blockchain.info on 2nd factor.  It takes me to put usb in computer and touch it.... which only I have access to the Yubikey.  So I feel safe on my hot wallet.  But again I still treat it as a hot wallet.

..without having to unload/sweep my entire balance on some other address/wallet?

Basically im going to use the Paper Wallet as a piggy bank...but I want to monitor it and confirm my BTC transactions are going through.

Whats the best and easiest way to do this?





also, I have some BTC sitting in my coinbase wallet and even when I enter the several addresses, including Wallet Address and those several automatically generated addresses after each transaction, into Blockchain.info, it says the balance is 0 BTC....hmmmmm

Copy your wallet addreas/SHA Hash, and you open this site https://blockchain.info/ paste in search coloum on blockchains site. And you can check your balance thank you

I personally like phone apps for it there are android and IOS options.  But pick your favorite and you can save your BTC address without acccess but view holdings and value on a good app.  And you can check it from anywhere.

But there is lots of good options depending if your looking for mobile platform or PC there are some nice ones to.  We really need to know what platform OP wants it on.
