Title: Paper Wallet to Online Wallet
Post by: BTCIndia on November 19, 2014, 12:09:08 PM
I've paper wallet which I printed from Bitaddress.org and transferred some coin there. Now, I wish to transfer those coin to online therefore I downloaded Blockchain application and other application. When those application are successfully installed, they automatically create wallet by default with private key and public key.

How can I transfer my private key from paper into those recently downloaded wallet software from play-store?How can transfer coins from paper wallet to on-line wallet?

On the iPhone i think it's the 3rd option on the bottom.

Then you simply just scan the QR code of the private key with your camera and then it will add those coins into your wallet.

The important question here is: which app are you asking questions for. Its hard to help you if we dont know which of the 43950734095 [1] apps you are using.


[1] not an actual number of available choices.

My question was not for specific app. I need a general solution to transfer my coins from paper wallet to online wallet so that it can be send. No matter it be app, web or other other way.

There is no "general solution".  Each wallet implements its own methods for importing private keys (and some wallets don't implement a method at all).

Therefore, you need to tell us which wallet you intend to use.  Then we can tell you:

  • 1. If the wallet allows you to import private keys
  • 2. How to import a private key into that wallet.

I do it over the blockchain-site or blockchain-application:
They have some tutorials on that:
