Title: How can I test a paper wallet?
Post by: Phriend on January 16, 2018, 07:25:14 PM
I just created a new paper wallet for Ripple using Rippex software.  But before I transfer money to my new Ripple address, I want to make sure the address is valid.  (It would also be great if I could verify that my private key works with it).

So... is there any way for me to test my new wallet to make sure that it's valid and functional?

You can buy some crypto from exchange and then send it to your paper wallet.
You can also verify the transaction online on the blockchain.

You can import your secret key into a wallet that supports it if you want to go down that route.
other then that, you'll have to test sending something to it and the use one of the blockchain sites to review the transaction online if you keep it on the paper wallet.
I suppose you could also try to find someone to send you like a $1.00 worth of Ripple to your address for your paper wallet.

Ripple requires 20 XRP to activate a wallet, so I'm not sure sending $1.00 worth of Ripple would work.

You can load it with MEW MyEtherWallet.com. It's a great site.
This one works for me

I have done the test using the Moble wallet. You scan in the private key and then you can send to other wallets.
