Re: Is BitAddress still good for cold storage-paper wallets?
Plus is it still trustworthy, or are there currently better ways to create cold storage-paper wallets?
Can everyone also confirm that this is the correct link, and Github repository?

Yes. Below is a step by step way to securely generate your paper wallet...
1. Download BitAddress.org JS code from https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org.
2. Run it in an offline computer and generate Address + Private Key.
3. Copy the Address in a text file and write down the Private Key by hand in your notebook.
4. Write the Private Key from your notebook to the text file by typing and run it through BitAddress.org JS code to see whether it generates back the same Address in the text file.
5. Now remove all traces of the Private Key, save the text file with Address and wipe out the temporary cache from your browser.
6. Download Coinb.in JS code from https://github.com/OutCast3k/coinbin/ and use it to sweep fund received at the generated Address.
