Thanks for your explanations and time Steven,

Last one: Brian Deery posted the following in bitcointalk yesterday: “Before I would send any factoids to the paper wallet, I would import the private key into walletapp. if the public key on the paper matches the public key in the wallet, it should be safe enough to send. you do not need the blockchain or factomd running in order to import a private key”.

Is this advisable or necessary?
