It has been online once for downloading and installing electrum, and will never go online again with the sd card in.
I use it to sign transactions for an online watch-only wallet installed on several computers I use.

Tell me if you have any luck using BIP 38 on the raspberry pi, it's too demanding it seems and always crashes for me.
Should you make sure that that computer used should never go back online incase there's a trojan on it?
Depends on how paranoid you are and how likely you are to have installed a trojan.
Decrypt your private key with passphrase, import pkey in offline electrum. Read the public key, if it match the one on your paper, you have good keys.
It would have been smarter to do this before sending the BTC in

In the fear of an exchange getting hacked and busting, I moved over 100 BTC from there to a cold storage for longterm. I generated a single address with the bitaddress.org tool in offline mode with BIP38 encryption + passphrase.
Now that the address contains the 100 BTC, I just wanted to make sure the private key and passphrase are correct so I can sleep my night well.
I obviously don't want to move the bitcoins back "online" just to verify, since that would be counterproductive. But is there some way I can simply check , preferably offline, that the public address, encrypted private key and the password are all correct and I'll be access the Bitcoins in the future?
Thank you!
