Cryptonite Paper Wallet is now available!
Win 50 XCN!
(see way below)
(see way below)
tl;dr - Download here, run it in a browser on a secure machine, choose Cryptonite, choose wallet type(paper, BIP38 encrypted, brain, bulk), print.
If you like cold storage, you are going to love a paper wallet! Working with the maintainer of WalletGenerator.net I was able to create a paper wallet for Cryptonite!
While it isn't live(yet) on WalletGenerator.net, a downloadable version with Cryptonite is. I have forked it off their current version and made a pull request, so it should be live 'someday'(his words not mine) on their page, but this version will be available until then.
Instructions:
- Download the zip file
- Unzip
- Open the index.html file on a secure machine
- Wiggle your mouse around
- Select Cryptonite from the drop down at the top
- Select Paper(w/BIP38 or w/o), Bulk, or Brain
Couple of things to remember/do:
- RTFM - The index.html has instructions and information.
- Try it first with some small amounts.
- Check a chain explorer to validate if coins are present in the wallet.
- Unless it is BIP38 encrypted, anyone that finds your paper wallet can
accesssteal all of your coin. - Brain and BIP38 may require that you come back to this same index.html to recover your (WIF)private key. (could be wrong on this)
- Once a paper wallet is imported to a live wallet, and any coins spent, the paper wallet will be empty.
- Best to make a new paper wallet and transfer funds there if it has been imported into a live wallet.
- They make great gifts!
