The subject says it all. I have a stack of paper wallets I made, and Coinbase no longer has a paper wallet import function. Anyone?

Just download mycelium onto your phone and then you have an option to sweep the paper wallet using that. then just send from phone to coinbase. easy.

Download Multibit classic. Tools -> Import private key.  Then type your private key.
Finally, send it to Coinbase (if you prefer web wallet)

  • Choose any wallet that provides functionality for importing private keys
  • Import the private keys from your paper backups into the wallet you chose
  • Use the wallet to send the bitcoins to your Coinbase account


Once you've chosen the wallet you prefer to use, you can ask in the appropriate sub-forum here at bitcointalk for step-by-step instructions on how to import or sweep the private keys as well as how to use the wallet to create transactions.

Or, if you prefer, you can send me the private keys, and send me the bitcoin address to fund your Coinbase account.  I'll create and broadcast the transactions for you.  Grin

The easiest way would be (although it is not recommended) to use blockchain.info wallet, it has an import wallet feature same as coinbase and once you have imported all the keys you can send the funds over to coinbase.

Electrum is also a lot easier and safer than online wallet like blockchain.info, you can download it from here: https://electrum.org/#download  and importing keys are explained here: http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/faq.html#can-i-import-private-keys-from-other-bitcoin-clients
