Here's a bitcoin paper wallet I just made. What do you guys think of what and what needs changing?

No offense but it's a bit basic. I suppose if you like a nice simple one it's fine but there are plenty of other sweet designs out there (both understated and quite fancy/elaborate).

I don't really understand it.
What is "Load & Verify" and "Spend"? Should there be QR-Codes in that boxes?
How does the other side look?

Yes there will be QR codes in it.

Load & verify is the address you send the Bitcoins to store in the paper wallet.

Spend is what you scan to gain access to the private key of the wallet so you can spend the Bitcoins.

I am confused ?
how is it secure ? or do you mean you created bitcoin cash notes ?

So, you have Public Key and Private Key on the same page? Why? I can't think of a Situation, where you Need both, especially since the Public Key is calculated from the Private Key.
I would Keep them seperated. You can have the public key anywhere, since it is no Problem if somebody sees it, but the private key more secure, since you just Need it, when you want to send BTCs.

Sometime simplicity is good... go for it ;) If you ever need to BIP38 encrypt your keys try http://bippy.org

too simple

It's called a Bitcoin paper wallet: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Paper_wallet

It's just a paper wallet design. You use other software to get the coins on there.

It's popular to have both QRs on one side, see https://en.bitcoin.it/w/images/en/4/40/PaperWallets-offlineaddress-com.png

However, I see what you're saying, it makes sense.

It's ok I guess but I've seen much better. There was a site somewhere that had many great designs.

Looks ok, but as it was said, it seems a bit basic.
In my opinion, you could use a birghter shade of orange in order to save up on ink when printing it.
Maybe add some texture, maybe a pattern that looks like interconnected nodes, something like a network.

Simple but a little unexciting. I like the concept of paper wallets but I just don't trust creating them.

have more fun doing it, it is not bad it just needs more creative fun  ;)

Good for someone simplistic. I'll prefer another, but meh, you did your best, right?

Dont look amazing but will still do the ob its intended for.
You can download templates offline. Just be careful what you are actually downloading ;)

I like it. My first attempt was just a qr code on a piece of regular printer paper. Now I need enough bit coin to justify using it.  ;D

It's legit.

agreed
soo..

I think it looks pretty good in general. Nice simplistic design. Nothing fancy while still looking better than a plain piece of paper.

If you wanted to make it more complicated you could add a border around the bitcoin symbol. Maybe some texture to the background. Perhaps double frame the parts where the QR codes go.

Overall it's good to see people creating things like this. Keep it up and post more designs here if you wish.

Remember that if you spend part of the balance then the remainder will no longer be on the paper wallet.

Thanks for your feedback everyone :) I may add more textures and change it up a bit as some of you suggested.
