I have made paper wallets. And I continually send what bitcoins I get to them. I'm paranoid that I've been sending bitcoins to the paper bitcoin addresses where somehow at sometime my saved private keys got corrupted. So from time to time I want to run a script, python or whatever, to check if my private keys do correspond to the public address that I've been sending bitcoins to. I want an offline solution so things like the satoshi client would not do. Is there a small script written by someone that can solve this?
Satoshi doesn't need to be online to generate keys or to import them to your wallet. – Nick ODell – 2013-03-01T21:13:02.743
2I'm sorry for you. This level of paranoia results more often in errors your side, than the risk of getting hacked if you do everything in a normal way... – o0'. – 2013-03-01T23:21:30.550
For those who want to implement this in their programming language, there is a interactive online tool here http://gobittest.appspot.com/PrivateKey (obviously don't use your real private keys here but get one from Directory.io)
