Title: Adding keys to wallet Post by: tyler on November 29, 2010, 11:32:16 PM Heres my scenerio.
I want to load a key (or a few keys) up with bitcoin, then put those keys on a disk/cd/whatever and physically hand that medium to someone, then i want them to be able to add these keys to their wallet to receive the coins. is it possible? I know i could just transfer the coins over the network, but i am wondering if my physical way is possible Title: Re: Adding keys to wallet Post by: theymos on November 29, 2010, 11:47:09 PM It's possible, but not yet implemented.

Right, im assuming theres a high level of trust between the two parties Title: Re: Adding keys to wallet Post by: bober182 on November 30, 2010, 03:34:54 AM Make a new wallet, send coins to it, then pass that wallet file onwards.

I thought about that, how do you "generate a new wallet"? if you remove your wallet.dat does it just generate new keys and create a new wallet?
