I've got some paper wallets which I created back in 2014 when they where cool. I'm just wondering what app or software is considered the safest way to sweep these wallets onto my Trezor hardware wallets.
Thanks

AH I was just missing the part...thanks dude
Not that easy to accomplish securely.
I'd setup an electrum cold storage (on a completely fresh OS installation, having pgp keys of electrum verified) where I'd import the keys. Then setting up the transaction to my hardware wallet on another watch-only instance of electrum and exporting it to USB. Importing it into cold-storage electrum and signing it there. Then reimport and broadcast the signed transaction from watch-only electrum.
But that's just my 2 cents on the topic.
Jesus and I thought I was a security freak, now I feel like a security toddler
OP was asking about the 'safest way'. In the end it obviously depends whether we are talking about $10 or $10k that shall be moved.
Lol, 10K is peanuts for most in the crypto world if you are not new to the space. I've moved 6 digits from one wallet to the other with much less security measures, but maybe I'm an idiot for doing so. It's all relative I guess
but maybe I'm an idiot for doing so.
In general people prefer learning the hard way. So it's completely okay.

Mycelium works
I have swept private keys into a Bitcoin Core full node wallet.
so cool, it is the safest way!

Did the exact same thing last night. I used coinomi. Just remember to sweep, not import

Edge is a good option on mobile.

Use Electrum to sweep the paper, send it to your Trezor wallet afterwards.
he can sweep directly to an address in his trezor. pair electrum with trezor and then use the sweep option in the wallet menu.
