Do I need to move bitcoins stored in a paper wallet?

2

In mid 2012 I used bitaddress.org offline to generate address/private key pairs. I purchased bitcoins and had coins sent to these addresses. Do I have to move these bitcoins to keep them in the active chain? (I've read about the May 15 deadline to update the client, but never use a client).

Uh. No.. leave them be. Unless you need to spend them.

Thank you! I thought so, but got confused by the notice. – d-a-w – 2013-03-24T18:59:03.253

A high quality answer on Bitcoin.SE would remove confusion about an "active" chain and inform @d-a-w that the requirement for the May 15'th update applies to Miners in particular. (etc) – goodguys_activate – 2013-03-25T21:30:40.007
