Title: Help me! Post by: LocalBusinessman on May 25, 2017, 12:39:27 PM Can someone tell me how to convert physical bitcoins into a virtual ones in the bitcoin wallet?
Kind regards, -LocalBusinessman Title: Re: Help me! Post by: European Central Bank on May 25, 2017, 12:41:06 PM so you have something like a casascius coin?
you shouldn't redeem the bitcoin in there. the coin attracts a premium. sell it on here in the collectibles sections and you'll get more than the face value. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=217.0 Title: Re: Help me! Post by: saqwe on May 25, 2017, 01:43:13 PM The first 8 characters of the public address are on each coin, which allows you to obtain the full address or check the balance at FirstBits.com or a similar service.
Beneath the tamper-evident holographic sticker on each coin is the private address which corresponds to the public address. Once you've obtained both the public and private address, the process for importing this information into an existing wallet can be read at https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/447/is-there-some-way-to-merge-two-wallets-or-to-import-export-addresses Let me know if you need any other help.

I hope he doesn't have just a simple coin that isn't loaded or anything. Since the prices are going crazy, so are the people using them.

Nobody wants to buy this also :( there are buyers on here who'll take it off you. go to the collectibles section and threaten to peel it. they'll buy it off you to save it. they're very rare. make sure you use an escrow. you should get at least 0.5 btc more than face value and maybe 1 or 2 more. |
