Title: How To Sell BTC With a Paper Wallet Post by: RealT on November 13, 2013, 01:57:29 AM If a person has a "paper wallet" how can they transfer BTC to another person. I'm sure there are several ways, but what are they?
Title: Re: How To Sell BTC With a Paper Wallet Post by: GenTarkin on November 13, 2013, 02:00:59 AM Import the private key on the paper wallet to a wallet on a PC thats on the internet .. then you can send coins from the corresponding Bitcoin address.
alternatively, you can physically give someone the paper wallet .. then they can spend all the coins held by that address =) Title: Re: How To Sell BTC With a Paper Wallet Post by: BitThink on November 13, 2013, 02:01:38 AM If a person has a "paper wallet" how can they transfer BTC to another person. I'm sure there are several ways, but what are they? Import the private key and transfer to another person, or ask the other person to import the private key and transfer to his another address. In the latter case, before the other person transferred all coins to his own address, both the sender and the receiver can spend the money, and this can be messy so please do this face to face.

Title: Re: How To Sell BTC With a Paper Wallet Post by: BitThink on November 13, 2013, 03:21:48 AM What is the safest place to import the private key to? Download a client. Official bitcoin-qt may takes very long time to sync to the network. You can try multibit.Title: Re: How To Sell BTC With a Paper Wallet Post by: Pente on November 13, 2013, 03:30:04 AM What is the safest place to import the private key to? I trust blockchain.info Title: Re: How To Sell BTC With a Paper Wallet Post by: ryny24 on November 13, 2013, 03:33:47 AM If a person has a "paper wallet" how can they transfer BTC to another person. I'm sure there are several ways, but what are they? I believe mycelium for Android will do what you want. It has an option when you press menu for 'Cold Storage' which asks for the QR code of the private key. It also allows you to export the private key which happens to be in QR format and easily fits in your pocket. However, I've never used it and could be wrong. Use blockchain.info as a last resort, or if you have an iPhone. :o Title: Re: How To Sell BTC With a Paper Wallet Post by: theecoinomist on November 13, 2013, 11:17:46 AM What is the safest place to import the private key to?

Correct: Cold Storage Spending with the Mycelium Bitcoin Wallet (http://youtu.be/1pDSzOiFgIk) Title: Re: How To Sell BTC With a Paper Wallet Post by: theecoinomist on November 13, 2013, 10:12:52 PM But I wouldn't store anything online, except for a hot wallet with 2-3 bitcoins max.. But I suspect 2-FA will not protect you if you recently used it to login, since it will only ask for 2-FA once every 10-20 minutes..
Title: Re: How To Sell BTC With a Paper Wallet Post by: Valle on December 01, 2013, 06:38:18 AM +1 for Mycelium for Android - I like it.
Also I'd recommend my Paper Wallet for android - it is offline client, so it is less convenient, but more secure. Title: Re: How To Sell BTC With a Paper Wallet Post by: Sindelar1938 on December 01, 2013, 06:41:27 AM I can vouch for blockchain.info also
Very simple and intuitive Title: Re: How To Sell BTC With a Paper Wallet Post by: 501 on December 01, 2013, 06:45:06 AM This is how I would do it?
1. blockchain.info 2. Sweep key 3. Optional: send funds to new paper wallet Title: Re: How To Sell BTC With a Paper Wallet Post by: Krona Rev on December 01, 2013, 08:23:02 AM There are already good answers above. I agree blockchain.info wallets make it easy to sweep a private key, and this probably is the simplest way.
You can do it in the Satoshi/QT client by going to Help>Debug Window and then clicking the Console tab. From there you can do what you want using createrawtransaction, signrawtransaction and sendrawtransaction. I think this will work even without downloading the blockchain, but I've never tried. For createrawtransaction you will need to know the transaction id and output of the transaction* you used to load the address on your paper wallet, and the address you want to send the money to. For signrawtransaction you will need the private key. *or "transactions" if there were more than one. |
