I want to transfer some linkies to cold storage and I have a few questions about paper wallets.
If you create a paper wallet offline, how would you go about testing that you have access to it? You need to connect to the internet for that, at which point it is no longer cold storage, since you could potentially be compromised.
Do you just create one, make sure it works, scrap it, create another and trust that it won't somehow be fucked up?

Any chain and wallet is fine anon
Blockchain agnostic = no worries. just send it and enjoy the safety that link provides on any chain.

That's not what I asked and is factually incorrect, sir.

Helo fren I think there is something about singing a transaction on an airgapped computer/laptop devicerino and then moving that transaction on a live computer and broadcasting it to the network. Also something else a out using an ethereum node to do this sorry fren am also breinlat

Thanks, fren. That sounds about right, I've heard of that method before. Was just hoping it's possible to achieve the same outcome with one device.

I would just be precise and make sure everything is written down correctly. If you want to make sure, you could try recovering it afterwards. If you're scared that this could have compromised the private key (very unlikely imo), then send a small but decent amount to the wallet and wait for a few weeks to see if anyone steals it.

>>13785601
Is there absolutely no chance of the key not working for some reason if written down correctly?

>>13785604
Any reason why one isn't enough? Or just mitigating risk of loss / theft?
Personally, I'm paranoid that they will somehow exit scam with everyone's shekels at some point. I guess it's an open source product, but there's always a way.

good luck with that, I can't believe they still have the nerve to sell a device that can be flashed from any compromised computer

I've never heard of anything like that happening. Make a test wallet to be sure, as you said. If you're really that paranoid and it's a significant stack, just buy a nano s.
