How Do You Check The Balance.......

How do you check the balance of a paper wallet (in cold storage).

It's nice to reassure yourself a few times a week that your entire balance is still there lol.

Thats it, job done. You can bookmark it or set it as your default page so that everytime you open your browser you get your balance.

Perfect.

I got to the stage where I just couldn't leave that kind of balance on an online wallet.
I think extra paranoia is good in this game though.

In other words, you have been doing a great job in getting more bitcoin. Congrats.

This one is for Android. I think there would also be a iPhone version.

Just simply copy the address and search it on the blockchain.
Do it like this:

Interesting that you can search the balance of any public address.

You can see the balance that fellow posters here have in their wallets (the donation addresses in their sig any way)

For this reason, use separate wallets for different sites and do not transfer or use your normal wallets with these addresses. 

People follow bread crumbs to your treasures. Leave your stash in cold storage/paper wallets.

Whatever you do, don't put all your stash on one paper wallet.  Break it into a few denominations like you'd do with regular money.

Like you wouldn't have a single $1000 bill lying around, you'd have a few hundred, a few twenties, etc all split up accordingly.

I split my stash into '5 BTC' paper wallets mate.

It's the best advice going to be fair.

I also have two copies of each wallet laminated.

You can check the balance using any blockchain explorer.

Thats one of the key features of BTC. There is a transparent public ledger.

They probably have other addresses with stored Bitcoins.

Bitcoin #1! People can see that you have millions of dollars but if you made the wallet securely, they will never be able to access those funds!
