How Would This Procedure Be Performed? Transfer to Offline wallet I've read alot of questions before I posted this... What I want to do is take my wallet from blockchain.info that contains a few bitcoins, and "store" it offline, however I have some specific questions if anyone can help:


I understand creating a paper wallet from blockchain.info's My Wallet. However, if I do this then won't any sensitive data still possibly be saved on their server(s), therefore rendering the paper wallet not completely secure?
In a partial answer to my first question, they have a way to generate and offline bitcoin address and corresponding private key. So would it be best to do that, and then from blockchain.info's My Wallet should I then send all bitcoins to this new bitcoin address, effectively eliminating any wallet that is saved in my account on that site? If that is the case, then:

would I even need a wallet? If my "paper wallet" shows the bitcoin address and its' corresponding private key, then is that all I need to put in a safe? just the bitcoin address that I sent all coins to from my wallet, and then that addresses private key?
should I delete any backups of the previous wallet that originally had the coins that I sent to this newly created offline address?
should I then close/delete my entire account on blockchain.info?



Forgive me if I sound redundant, but I guess I'm wondering if all I need to do is a "transaction" from my online wallet to a newly created 'offline' bitcoin address? In 10 years, in order to access these coins, I ONLY need that new bitcoin address and its private key?

Yes.

You can use Blockchain's product or print off an single address page from http://Bitaddress.org. Send a transaction to the public key and safely store that piece of paper until you next need it. Be very careful, though, because if you lose that piece of paper, you will lose the coins associated with that address.
