Based on what I've read so far I'm pretty sure that what I want to do should work, but I'd like to get some confirmation to make sure I won't be causing myself issues by screwing something up if I'm wrong.
This is what I'd to do: 1. setup an Electrum wallet in offline mode 2. write down the seed on paper 3. send the coins I want to secure from my normal wallet to one of the generated addresses 4. delete the newly setup Electrum wallet from the hard drive 5. Voila, I should be left with a paper wallet, right? With the wallet deleted from the hard drive, the only access point to the coins is through that paper with the seed written down. And whenever I want to use them, I just open Electrum, type in the seed and it'll grant me full access.
Is my thinking correct? I want to be sure I'm not missing something silly that would result in my finding out that I can't actually access the coins further down the line...
