Title: still trying - verifying paper wallet balances? Post by: rebeltaz on March 29, 2015, 05:26:31 PM I have searched this here and the net, but haven't found an answer. Forgive me if it's already been answered.
If I create a paper wallet at bitaddress.org, I see how to import the private key into Electrum to be able to spend the currency, but I don't see anyway to import the public key to be able to just verify the balance as a read-only type address. Is this (not) possible with Electrum? Thanks. Title: Re: still trying - verifying paper wallet balances?

Just use https://blockchain.info/ - also don't need public key - you need only bitcoin address Title: Re: still trying - verifying paper wallet balances?

Code: electrum getaddressbalance 1BitcoinEaterAddressDontSendf59kuE Title: Re: still trying - verifying paper wallet balances? Post by: rebeltaz on March 30, 2015, 02:15:03 AM Awesome. Thank You Both :)
