Title: Multibit paper wallet question Post by: NoobBitcoinUzr on September 25, 2012, 07:50:57 PM Hi-
I have the latest version of Multibit running on my Macbook. Wanted to know how to generate a paper wallet. Does Multibit even have that capability? Thanks Title: Re: Multibit paper wallet question Post by: jim618 on October 01, 2012, 07:48:44 PM At the moment Multibit does not have a deterministic wallet so there is no support for paper wallets.
The most similar thing is to create some receiving addresses and then export the private keys to an encrypted backup file. You can then put the encrypted keys on a USB stick. How To: http://multibit.org/help_backupWalletUsingPrivateKeys.html (http://multibit.org/help_backupWalletUsingPrivateKeys.html) It is on my list of TODOs to support hierarchical deterministic wallets, but it will be a while yet.

Please add paper wallet support!

By doing this, I could delete my coins/wallet from the client, then restore them using the backup exported keys.
And because that backup wouldn't be a deterministic wallet, I would need to back up again every time I made a transaction. Does this sound right? Title: Re: Multibit paper wallet question Post by: scab on May 15, 2013, 10:48:32 PM Hmm not sure cant help you here :/
