I got my Nano S yesterday, thats why im sweeping one of the wallets now Smiley

Why are you sweeping those coins? The paper wallets are still your most secure method to store those coins. After the last firmware upgrade and the Man-in-the-middle attacks on the Ledger, I am hesitant to move coins from cold storage to my hardware wallets. The idea behind paper wallets is to store coins for long-term and if you not going to use those coins, why then move it to a hardware wallet?

Remember : Those paper wallets might still have forked coins. Do not throw them away.  Grin


I'm spending some of it, that's why i'm transferring to the ledger.
The hack has had me a little worried, but for someone without a complete understanding of how bitcoin works, it still seems like the safest way, for when you want to spend coins.

Im keeping the other two paper wallets.

Any BTC airdrop between january 12, and march 29?  Smiley
