Title: Can't scan Bitaddress paper wallet with my Samsung Galaxy S2 Post by: tinus42 on May 15, 2013, 08:45:18 PM I tried out a paper wallet from bitaddress.org but I can't scan the QR code when it's printed out with my Samsung Galaxy S2 using either the Barcode scanner or the Android Bitcoin wallet. The QR codes don't look detailed enough.
I can retreive the bitcoins on it on my Blockchain.info account by manually entering the private key. Are there paper wallets which have big hires QR codes and are trustworthy?

Also try other QR-Apps. Sometimes zooming function on the mobile cant be used. I never had problems with zxing. I only use normal Bitcoin Wallet on mobile with max. of 0.5BTC right now: It is enough for most cases and the problem is something else when they get stolen!

The QR-code only gets more blurry when I zoom it and it won't scan. What's the best QR app for Android?

The result is the same. The QR-code is too tiny, it can't be scanned with my Samsung Android phone. Other QR-codes scan easily.
The only way to redeem bitcoins is to enter the private key manually. Is there a paper wallet which can be scanned with a Samsung Galaxy S2? |
