So I have my bitcoins in a paper wallet/cold storage. I have both the public and private keys for this. Now I would like to get some of those into my Bitstamp account so I can sell them. Unfortunately I have no idea how to do this.

Help?

This is my experience
im use paperwallet too , after 2month i want to sell it and sell it to fiat
then i download mycellium android wallet https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycelium.wallet
after succes instalation i import my private keyy with scan it and now you get full acces at your address
then you send your bitcoin to bitstamp deposit address

You can use blockchain.info to import the private key into their online wallet, or use the electrum wallet. Download the portable version of electrum, run it, then select the option to make a new wallet by importing a private key. It will give you a text box to paste your key into, and that's all there is to it. After importing your key it will sync in seconds, and you can send your coins to your exchange address.

IMO electrum is safer than blockchain.info because all the software runs on your computer, not their server.

Doesn't matter if he's gonna send them away immidiately right?

Also I have a question regarding paper wallets. Let's say bitcoin suceeds and is a lot more advanced in 10 years.
How can you be certain that there will still be ways to import private keys?

Because private/publics keys are a core element of bitcoin and the blockchain ?
