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" Tongue.

How do I get the btc once they are stored in the address from the private key?
