Dear all.

I am running bitcoin-qt via arch-linux. I would like to improve security by shifting the majority of my stash to an offline cold wallet. I understand the importance of generating key pairs on an offline computer to acheive maximum possible security.

My question is, once I created say a dozen key pairs for my long term cold storage, will entering the private keys into bitcoin-qt as a way to see the balance on my desktop machine threaten thier security in any way?
