I know I have asked a few times about a paper wallet but wanted to be absolutely sure.A paper wallet from moneroaddress is what I would be using for long term storage until there is a GUI.
The plan is:
Download the zipfile and be disconnected from the internet.
https://github.com/moneromooo-monero/monero-wallet-generatorGenerate wallet.
Write down the mnemonic seed. Also, the public address,spend and view key.
Then just send from Poloniex and should be able to sleep better at night.
What if I just print them out, chances are small that it can get compromised from the printer? Its an Epson, 2-3 years old.
Also, monero being anonymous, I cant check my balance like with a bitcoin paper wallet. I know that you can check for any transactions to an address, but what site?
Sorry for being repetitive.
It's a pretty good plan. If you want to take it to the next level
Download a copy of linux. I've used mint in the past because its simple and works and has low overhead.
https://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=217 Next get the universal usb installer from pendrivelinux here.
http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ Insert a flash drive that you dont mind having the data wiped from.
Run the universal usb installer and follow the instructions to set up the usb.
Put your saved offline copy of
https://github.com/moneromooo-monero/monero-wallet-generator on the flash drive.
Turn off your computer. Turn it back on and go into your bios. Set bootloader to usb. Restart again.
NOW generate your paper wallet on this sandboxed version of linux without ever connecting to the internet on this instance of linux.
Connect your printer with a USB cable and clear the printer cache after you are finished before you log back on your main os.

It sounds harder than it is, really.
To other patrons of this thread: Thoughts on the necessity/usefulness of going to these lengths?
. I think it has to drop some soon and I will be ready and waiting. Been holding the same coins for at least a year and this week was the first time I bothered to check them. Thanks djjacket for talking me into accepting them.
