I have created my first version of paper bitcoin wallet this way:
1. zipped wallet.dat file with encryption
2. opened compressed zip file as hex
3. printed hex view of this file, something like this:
I got 3 pages of hex, printed it and store in a safe place.
What do you think of it? Is is secure?
In the worst case I will be able to recreate my zip file by entering manually all hexs (or scan those pages and use OCR).
I made this some time ago when there was no brainwallet.org, I didn't want to store just my private key because this address also has some mined coins.
