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.
You can check that the balance was received by entering the tx id, view key, and the public address of your cold wallet here:

I would probably be ok with printing on an older printer if it does not have wifi. Depends on your level of paranoia. When the day comes that you dispose of the printer take it apart and see if it has a HD in it, if so destroy it.
