No. It simply imports the other address as if it had been part of your wallet all along.
How do I get the btc once they are stored in the address from the private key?
Bitcoin: Help -> Debug window -> Consoletype importprivkey 5Ja83qanfha4aJ236jfaf.....JneEA "spending my paper wallet"
I have to ask... this won't do anything to my current bitcoins in my wallet.dat, will it?
Thanks for the kind words. I'd appreciate if someone points out any glaring flaw in the security of the method, so that I can amend it if so.
I have to enable remote image loading to see what the heck you posted. Enabling cross-site requests allows an image site to at the very least log viewers of this thread. Then the image site tries to stick a cookie on my browser. That's not so secure.
Pressing the "print" button in your browser is more practical and reliable than transcribing a public key off the screen - one character missed when you are writing down the private key and [poof!] your bitcoins are gone. Just don't print to workgroup printers with a hard drive in them or leave the printer un-power-cycled if it might have a "reprint" feature.
If you want to discourage curious eyes, labeling the outside "Jubalong's fungus specimen" would be better than "Jubalong's paper wallet"

So, complete noob question now:
How do I get the btc once they are stored in the address from the private key?
I take it there are certain apps that will take the private key + the address and confirm them?
