Title: How to use Electrum for Android as cold storage? Post by: Lumpi101 on January 20, 2017, 07:00:33 AM I have created an offline wallet on an old phone.
I can create an unsigned transaction with the corresponding watch-only wallet and show it as a qr-code so it can be read by the offline phone. With the offline wallet I go to "send" and read the qr-code (the unsigned tx). Then I can see the unsigned tx on the offline phone (as an info) but i cannot sign it or do anything useful with it (despite showing it as a qr-code again)... So how can I sign the tx and give the signed tx back to the watch-only wallet in order to transmit it to the network? Title: Re: How to use Electrum for Android as cold storage? Post by: unamis76 on January 20, 2017, 10:09:35 AM Maybe you imported a watch only address and not your MPK like this (https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/2033) person here? Please confirm.

You have to use the load transaction option not the send option. I'm not familiar with electrum for android so all I can suggest is that you look for a load transaction option.

With the imported MPK there is the sign-button which I searched before. Now, everything works fine.
For all who want to know how it's done: via the link of unamis is a good explanation. |
