Title: Generating Individual Private Key QR Codes?
Post by: Cryptocables on November 16, 2013, 09:36:59 PM
Hey all!

Is there a way to enable a QR code for individual private keys somehow? Or am I missing it somewhere? For each of my individual address I like to keep a backup of the individual private key as well that's stored in a vault, but would like to have the QR code available on it "just for being picky"'s sake.

I am able to view the plain text list with the root key and chain code, but not sure if there is an option somewhere to make a QR code with the individual private keys as well.

Thanks in advance and happy coining!

I'm quite new with this QR code (http://www.keepautomation.com/products/net_barcode/barcodes/qrcode.html) thing and I haven't tried to generate QR code (http://www.keepautomation.com/csharp_barcode/qrcode.html) as individual private keys but heard of it true. I got this link on Bitcoin for you, check if it is helpful:

Hi there
Thanks for your nice sharing.As QR Code has a wide valid data scope, thus, people often encode a website link into QR Code. Then one can easily visit this website by just scanning the QR code barcode, instead of entering the url in the web browser. Therefore, QR Code has been widely used in the marketing and advertising field as a promotion tool. I hope Bitcon supports to do that directly

The Armory backup procedure backs up all keys the wallet could ever generate except for imported keys.  Thus you don't need to backup the private keys individually.

I'm not sure how this works but if you start revealing private keys from an Armory wallet individually you may be compromising some of the security, so if you back them up individually you may mistakenly reveal them individually.
