Title: How to generate QR Code from bitcoin address? Post by: FutureMoneyTrends on September 22, 2014, 02:38:35 AM I want a big QR code; i have a small one
the problem is; keep trying to use a free generating site to make it and the QR's are all different! They don't make the same QR as the original small code I have. Using this QR decoder i can re-upload the image to check and the original results in the bitcoin address but some of the new generated different QR codes look to be wrong: Do you know a qr generator for bitcoin address that works? Who do you trust? blowing up my small pic makes it blurry Title: Re: How to generate QR Code from bitcoin address?

Thanks, ignore below for a sec, do you know the difference between qr resulting in: "Bitcoin:BTCADDRESS" vs just showing the btc address as text? would a bitcoin payment scanner app on phone only work if the qr has the bitcoin:ADDRESS url? or if it just returns the address without a label will it just recognize that? bitcoin:1LefuVV2eCnW9VKjJGJzgZWa9vHg7Rc3r1 -------------------------- crap below Okay using this address as example: 1LefuVV2eCnW9VKjJGJzgZWa9vHg7Rc3r1 Image URL here: http://libertyblitzkrieg.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/lbk-post-donations.png tested on http://blog.qr4.nl/Online-QR-Code_Decoder.aspx Results in same address text: 1LefuVV2eCnW9VKjJGJzgZWa9vHg7Rc3r1 But btcfrog Title: Re: How to generate QR Code from bitcoin address? Post by: Newar on September 22, 2014, 03:25:46 AM Your small one decodes for me as:
Code: bitcoin:1LefuVV2eCnW9VKjJGJzgZWa9vHg7Rc3r1?amount=0 Things like error correction also have an influence on how it looks. The bitcoin: helps apps that support that URI. If you don't trust the online or other apps, let Bitcoin Core or Armory generate the code and take a screenshot of the result. Title: Re: How to generate QR Code from bitcoin address?

Title: Re: How to generate QR Code from bitcoin address? Post by: Newar on September 22, 2014, 03:40:20 AM they can have you input any address and make a qr code? No, sorry. It has to be an address in their database. I assumed you were using a wallet program that you trust already. Which wallet are you using for that address?

Which wallet are you using for that address? just curious overall; we've mostly just used blockchain wallet Title: Re: How to generate QR Code from bitcoin address? Post by: Newar on September 22, 2014, 05:38:37 AM If you really want to use *that* one, you could try to zoom in on the webpage (Ctrl +) until you have your desired size and take a screen shot then. However I think your a bit paranoid on the trust issue in this particular case. If a website or program gives you a QR code it is easy to check if it contains the information you are looking for, even if the codes are not looking the same visually. Like I said error correction for example changes the code too. Title: Re: How to generate QR Code from bitcoin address?

How is that an issue of trust? Will they maliciously PAY you? If you cannot find a website that does QR codes the way you need, PM me or reply with exactly what you need (because I cannot understand how you are having a problem in the first place) and I can put a FREE QR code generator on my website for you and everyone to use. What features would you like? Title: Re: How to generate QR Code from bitcoin address? Post by: MangoJ on September 27, 2014, 10:07:21 AM I have made a free QR Code maker because of this idea.
