Hello!

a few questions. I don't have a webcam.

1. I'm planning to move my paper wallets to new wallets. I have a offline computer, can I some way use a old phone as a qr-scanner and import it, if the phone has no internet connection and is reset? Or do I need to type the private key manually for all the paper wallets?

Sometimes I want to scan the paper wallet to a offline air-gapped machine and import the BIP38 key and double check that it's encrypted with the correct key. But it's getting old pretty quick to manually enter the keys.


2. Would it be possible/safe to use The android Bitcoin wallet to import the old paper wallet and then move coins to a new paper wallet with my android wallet? It's encrypted BIP38.

I hope I make any sense! I appreciate any help.
