Something more: I fail to understand why are people still focused so much on classical paper wallets when they can run Electrum (either safely installed and verified, either from Tails OS), generate a seed and a few addresses and.. done.

Because at times you want to hand a piece of paper to somebody. The Opendime  / Satodime have a real cost to them and as I found out can fail. Yes a piece of paper with a private key can be damaged or destroyed too.

In any case people shouldn't be using a website to create their bitcoin wallets in first place! That's just silly and extremely insecure regardless of what website you are using or who controls it.

They should not be using an *online webpage* to create a wallet. Bitaddress running on an offline PC from a bootable CD is not a major security risk.
