1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / storing my syscoins in a paper wallet, no way to check balance! Please Help! on: June 22, 2017, 06:25:02 AM
Dear Syscoin Community, please help me understand how to store my syscoins?

I want to store my syscoins in a paperwallet which I created from the website  http://cryptolife.net/upwg/  then when I want to use the funds, I can sweep it using coinomi wallet!
My problem is I don't know where to check the transaction had taken place after I sent the funds there, and how which website to confirm the coins are actually in there! 

=======================================================================================================

1.  I bought some syscoins from an exchange and want to store it in a paperwallet exactly like the way I store my bitcoins. 
In addition to bitcoins, I currently store these coins the exact the exact same way:- Litecoin, Dash, Dogecoin, Stratis, Blackcoin, Digibyte, Reddcoin. 

Step 1.  I goto http://cryptolife.net/upwg/ and generate my paper wallet for syscoin.   

Step 2.  For the other coins, I find the block explorer for the appropriate coins so when I send coins to the paper wallet key,
I can verify and confirm the transaction has taken place and the coin is in there!

BUT For syscoin, I tried to same method, but the block explorer does not confirm transaction has taken place nor does it confirm the coin is in the paper wallet,
but when I use coinomi wallet to sweep the paper wallet, the coin is in there and I am able to retrieve it!

Can somebody please tell me where I can check to make sure the transaction took place and the balance is in my paper wallet?  Because if I cannot verify the balance,
I feel unsecure sending any coins to the paper wallet even though I know when I sweep the paper wallet with coinomi, the balance will be in there!

I tried these syscoin block explorer but they don't show anything:

https://chainz.cryptoid.info/sys/

https://explorer.coinpayments.net/index.php


Here is the paper wallet public address which I sent 2 syscoins to as to test it!

SZTxucsCqVkH4HR9prKnDNjMgQgKh7jDXg

There is still 2 syscoins in there, I used coinomi wallet to sweep it, and it confirms the balance, but I did not transfer the funds to coinomi yet, so the funds are still in there!
Can somebody please help me understand how to confirm the syscoins balance in this paper wallet address using the syscoin block explorer? thank you so much in advance for your kind attention!


I look forward to hearing back from you! All the best!
Dave

Hi, thanks everyone! My transaction has been confirmed, a hero member helped me pushed the transaction through, he said he used,"antpool to accelerate the transaction," and it almost confirmed immediately! I just want to say a hearty thank you to this hero member and also to all other members here who took the time to respond to my thread and gave me your valuable time and wisdom!

I know now there is much caring and compassion in the cryptoworld and I will do my share in spreading the goodwill. 

Once again, I am forever grateful and thankful for your wisdom which you have shared with me and thank you so much for taking the time to read my thread and sharing! 
All the best,
Dave

Dear Big Brothers and Hero Members! Thank you for your quick response! I very grateful and happy to have your response and currently looking at the webpage:
https://www.mocacinno.com/feecheck.php?txid=59601624d343e92f6743b3ab9b015ec3e92c93a30533769ad4810c07aa36e62b

I am not a very technical savvy person, so I am trying my best to understand what is on the webpage! Please help me resolve this issue!

First, when I sweep the funds from my paperwallet to my blockchain.info wallet, I have no control over how much fees to set or at least I am not aware of it, so the 64 sat/byte fee could have been
set by blockchain.info wallet as a default?  or ?  I am really not even aware of how to set the fees!  Had I known, I would have probably set a higher amount to assure quick confirmation!

As to your recommendations, I would love to try to use the transaction accelerator, so I guess I will look into Antpool's, ViaBTC's.  But since I am not very tech savvy at all,  I better to some reading up on it and make my attempt only after I read up on it sufficiently! 

Can you also discuss how BTC.com can help me confirm the transaction if I make a payment to have it confirmed?
Once again, thank you so much for your kind attention!
I look forward to hearing back from you!
best wishes,
Dave

After 35 hours and still Unconfirmed bitcoin deposit to my blockchain.info wallet after I sweeped the bitcoins I have in my paperwallet which I created on bitaddress.org. 


Hello everyone, this is my first time having a problem with unconfirmed bitcoin transactions!  I hope somebody can help me resolve this issue by sharing their
knowledge and experience and point me in the right direction, thank you so much in advance!

About 35 hours ago, I used the blockchain.info wallet to sweep a bitcoin paper wallet private address where some of my bitcoins were stored! 
(I created the paper wallet address on bitaddress.org., and I have been storing bitcoins like this and sweeping it with blockchain.info wallet for the
past year and a half without ever any problems regarding delayed transactions.)

Anyway, this time after the wallet was successfully sweeped, and the bitcoins were transferred from my paper wallet to my blockchain.info wallet,
it sits indicating as a pending transaction awaiting confirmation.

If I send some of that funds out by setting a higher priority transaction fee, would that help confirm both transactions? 

My paper wallet public key which I sweeped the funds from is:  1EwT9GvF5vvRq4wW1YS1h4cLgJqdEiF4Mg

Please help me check the status, and let me know how I may resolve this unconfirmed transaction asap, thank you so much for your kind assistance!
Dave

5  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / CryptoLife UPWG - Universal Paper Wallet Generator on: May 19, 2017, 04:35:20 PM
Hi all! This post is about making paper wallets to safely store our coins with Cryptolife's UPWG (Universal Paper Wallet Generator) Website.  

I recently found Cryptolife's UPWG website to help me generate paper wallets to store my altcoins (http://cryptolife.net/upwg/).   I looked on the bottom of the website and it says, "Copyright bitaddress.org. Brought to you by CryptoLife.net."  

So I thought to myself, this is great, actually I have already come across bitaddress.org and use their website to generate paper wallets to store my bitcoins since last year and so far, its kept all my bitcoins safe and everything is perfect! I have retrieve the funds, send them back to the exchanges and back and forth, etc. Just yesterday, I used bitaddress.org to generate more paper wallet keys to store my bitcoins.   It is simply great!

My procedures are as follows:-  After I arrived at the bitaddress.org website, I move my mouse around the screen to generate all those dots, once it stops it will be ready to generate addresses for me!
I click on the PAPER WALLET tab, and then always check  the "HIDE ART" and "BIP38 ENCRYPT" boxes.  Then I will type in my passphrase, which I will need to use later to successfully sweep (retrieve the funds from the paper wallet) the paper wallet addresss.   I normally think of multiple words and phrases and numbers to be used as my passphrase and write them down somewhere.  

After this is done, I will click the generate button and then it will automatically generate the number of paper wallets I need. For each paper wallet, I will get a public key and a private key along with the corresponding QR codes.   My question here is, I do this while the computer is online, will this pose as a security problem since I also have the passphrase set up?  Any comments or recommendations will be greatly appreciated, thanks so much!!!     Wink

Ok, so end of discussion on bitcoin wallets, let me talk about generating paper wallets for altcoins.

As I mentioned, I came across Cryptolife's UPWG  (Universal Paper Wallet Generator)  website for generating paper wallet addresses for altcoins.   I thought to myself, this is great! I want to generate paper wallets to store all my altcoins, as I feel having the coins in a paper wallet and actually holding  the keys in your possession offline is the safest method.  

I arrive at the UPWG website and on the first page, which is the SETUP page, it ask you to select the decimal version by referring to the chart!

Okay, so the first altcoin I want to create paper wallets for is DOGECOIN.  I went to my Poloniex account and clicked on the receive funds button under Dogecoin to see what a standard Dogecoin address starts with, and I see it starts with,  "D".  Okay, so I look at the chart on the UPWG set up page and it gives me a few choices, 29, 30, 31, and 32.   I wasn't sure if I tried all of them, but I eventually scrolled down and selected 30 and clicked SUBMIT.  It will then say ,"Value Set! You can now generate wallets."

Great, so next, I clicked on the PAPER WALLET tab, and I do this because I always wanted to generate multiple paper wallets, and I think this setup is the most easy for me to keep track and maintain.
So, I check the boxes that says "HIDE ART" and "BIP38 ENCRYPT".  and click 7 for the total number of paper wallets I want to generate on one page, which I will print out.  And I type in my passphrase for these wallets.  Then I click the generate button, and VIOLA! IT's done!

Next, to make sure the paper wallet address works, this is what I do to double check!
First, I highlight and copy the first public address on the page.  then I goto dogechain.info and check the address.  It will identify it as an address, and it will also give the following informations:

Balance   0.00000000 DOGE
Transactions received   0
Received   0.00000000 DOGE
Transactions sent   0
Sent   0.00000000 DOGE

I'm really not a tech person, but I guess this would confirm it is a valid address which I can send funds to!  So my next step is to send some funds to this paper wallet! I goto the exchange where I had purchased the DOGECOINS, and sent 20 DOGECOINS to this address.  I then go and check the address again on dogechain.info, and this time, it shows the balance I sent there less 2 dogecoins for transaction fees.  Yeah!

Now, here's the tricky part! I need to retrieve the funds back out from the paper wallet, so I need to find a wallet that will sweep the funds  (import the private key).   I registered and opened a wallet at dogechain.info, and tried to use their import keys function, however, when I tried to import my private key for this paper wallet with the test balance I just sent there,  it gives me this message,"  PLEASE SPECIFY A VALID PRIVATE KEY".   I wonder why this is so, and beginning to worry! What could have went wrong?  

Okay, so my next option was to find another wallet.  I remember I have the coinomi wallet on my android phone, so I tried that as I remembered dogecoin is on their list.
I used their import keys, sweep the QR code, and it asked for the passphrase.  I entered the correct passphrase, and VOILA, the 17 dogecoins was imported into the coinomi wallet ready for me to send it anywhere I want.  Yeah!

SO I have successfully stored the dogecoins in the paper wallet created on Cryptolife's UPWG website with BIP38 ENCRYPT passphrase, successfully retrieved the coins back out to a standard wallet ready for me to send the funds back onto the exchange or to anyone I want.  

My question is, would this be considered a success in creating a paperwallet for this altcoin?  I have created a total of 7 dogecoin addresses on one page, and  used the first address to test its validity as well as if the pass phrase is correct, and it seems it is worked just fine, so would it be safe for me to send funds to the other 6 addresses on the page?

Another big question I have is why did the dogechain.info wallet NOT let me sweep the paper wallet and gave me the message "  PLEASE SPECIFY A VALID PRIVATE KEY".  But I was able to use the Coinomi Wallet on my android phone to successfully sweep the paper wallet?  

Since I generated the paper wallets while the computer is online, are my paper wallet addresses safe?  As also consider I used BIP38 Encrypt and have a strong passphrase.  

Any comments or technical recommendations and suggestions would be  greatly appreciated! Thank you so much for reading my post!

Once this works out successfully, I am looking to generate paper wallets on Cryptolife's UPWG website for other altcoins, but I have many technical uncertainties like, what decimals to use, how to verify the address is valid before sending a small amount to test the paper wallet, how to check the balance, which wallet will sweep the paper wallet so that the funds can be retrieved, etc.  

Anyway, thanks again~! Please feel free to comment and make appropriate recommendations and suggestions, I look forward to further discussions regarding this topic which I am sure we all have an interest in finding a safe and reliable way to store our coins!
all the best!
Dave  Smiley
