You should scan and save the qr but if you didn't do that then you're SOL. Title: Re: for altcoin, how do I recover from paper wallet?

Any way to import the key, for ShareCoin It should be the same as it is for Bitcoin: http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/10974/import-wallet-dat-into-a-new-bitcoin-qt-client (http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/10974/import-wallet-dat-into-a-new-bitcoin-qt-client), except go to the ShareCoin folder.

If I lost the wallet.dat backup file, only I have private key and public key with me on a paper, how can I recover the wallet? Title: Re: for altcoin, how do I recover from paper wallet?

You should import those private key into Qt wallet in the console tab using this command. importprivkey (your private key) then press enter.

so I do not need to save the wallet.dat, just write down the private key, and i can recover any time Title: Re: for altcoin, how do I recover from paper wallet?
