Title: Laminated Paper Wallet
Post by: dissident on January 07, 2014, 05:15:29 PM
I made a paper wallet for my own use because I wanted something simple and no frills that I could run through a laminator and after lamination it's roughly credit card sized and can be stored in a wallet like a credit card. Basically to use the paper wallet you'd have to cut the paper out from the lamination and access the private key inside. This is a weatherproof way to archive a paper wallet.

Here's the image.. it should print and fold perfectly with microsoft paint and standard printer paper... just follow the instructions.

I welcome comments or suggestions on things to add or remove to this if anyone here finds it interesting, or ways to clarify the instructions if they don't seem clear enough.  If I posted this in the wrong section I apologize and please move.

Thanks. I didn't see any on the net that I really liked so I just went at it... in particular I didn't like how the QR codes on them were not perfect black and white... but rather blurry.. this way I can make the QR codes perfect.. I guess I'm picky that way...  plus I already had the laminator and it's my favorite way to weatherproof stuff.

I suppose it could be fancied up and made with color and fancy graphics too.. but I have a black and white laser printer which is why I went this route.. simple and effective.
