Title: QrCode scanner integration into Electrum/Armory
Post by: greBit on June 13, 2013, 12:01:30 PM
I was considering making a Python/OpenCV module that could be used by Bitcoin Armory or Electrum. So instead of having to type long addresses / private keys you could just scan them in using your webcam.

Would this feature interest anybody?

I think he's talking about printed QR codes.

Yeah I was planning this for my offline livecd based wallet as it can be a pain to type addresses in.

I would really appreciate this for a project I'm currently developing.
