Title: Mining from p2pool into paper wallet. Post by: ajet on October 25, 2013, 04:22:30 AM Hi i have a question about paper wallets. If i mine from p2pool and input a paper wallet address as my username, will i be able to see the mined coins on the address using blockchain.info? the address has never been used on a wallet, just generated from vanitygen.

Is the relative safety of a paper wallet comprimised? Title: Re: Mining from p2pool into paper wallet. Post by: cp1 on January 11, 2014, 05:28:40 AM There's no need to use your address in a wallet -- it'll always be in the blockchain whether you ever use it or not.
The only downside is it's more difficult to spend from a paper wallet than from a wallet like bitcoin-qt Title: Re: Mining from p2pool into paper wallet.

Keep it safe and secured - and there isnt. I think its the fact that its a physical item. If you can encrypt the wallet beforehand that's also a plus! Use something like armory for that purpose - I dont exactly know how to encrypt a vanity wallet - or if that is even possible. Title: Re: Mining from p2pool into paper wallet.
