Any updates on how this worked for you if you've tried it yet? It'd be useful to find if you had any issues using it (or if you just waited for your webcam to arrive).

Hello I forgot to give a update. I first tried to use Electrum, but it couldn't handle BIP38. So I used Mycelium (Android) instead. I made all transfers with Myceliym including the transfer to the new addresses. The phone was connected to the internet the whole time, but I never reuse paper wallet addresses and the old are empty now.

The new addresses are generated with a air-gapped PC and the paper is folded so I don't accidental take any pictures of my private key, but it's easy enough to scan the public key.

I know it's not the most secure way but it got the job done, I mean now when my BTC is at my new addresses it should be aright now?

Thanks for the help Jackg!

That's great to hear!

If you haven't already, after doing these stages, factory reset your phone again at the end just so there's no storage that has been saved here (you might also consider doing this a few times toensure the data is definitely gone from the phone).

It is still a fairly secure method anyway if you only had mycelium, the factoy apps and were just making new private keys from the old addresses (obviously, that depends on how you printed your private keys though - if anyone else has access to that printer it might be useful to reset that if possible as the printers broadcast queues and other data across the local network where you private keys and their qr codes could be stored).
