is there a place where I could print CGBs already? I would like to give out a few as x-mas gifts to my co-workers. They all seem amazed with crypto, so thought some CGB would be a nice gift
anyone?
I am working on creating fancy paper wallets for CGB but unfortunately will not be ready for the holiday season. However, here is a quick step by step guide which can be used to generate your own paper wallet(s):
1. Move your wallet.dat file from the %appdata% CryptogenicBullion folder to your desktop
2. Start you client and a new wallet.dat will be created with a new address
3. Copy the address and in the console type the command <dumpprivkey "address"> where "address" is the newly generated one
4. Copy the address and the privkey to a text file
5. Close client and remove the wallet.dat and replace with your old wallet.dat that is on your desktop (note the wallet.dat you are removing is for the newly created address with the privkey. This will be the address and privkey you use for your paper wallet so go ahead and delete it after you have the address and the privkey.
(BE CAREFUL NOT TO CONFUSE WITH YOUR WALLET.DAT AS YOU WILL LOSE YOUR COINS IF YOU DELETE THE WRONG ONE!)6. Now you can send your CGB to the new address (paper wallet)
7. Once coins have been sent to the new address, you can test the redemption process. Close your client.
8. Remove the wallet.dat file from the CryptogenicBullion data folder and save it in another folder (make sure your client is closed)
9. Now restart your client and a new wallet.dat file should be created. Your balance will be zero and there will only be one address in your receive list of addresses. None in your address book.
10. Go to console and enter <importprivkey "privkey"> where privkey is the first privkey you created in step 3. Note, this is the privkey that will be used for redemption. This is the process the client must complete in order to redeem coins.
11. When your client has scanned the blockchain, you'll notice your balance has updated to the amount of CGB you sent it in step 6. If you restart your client, you'll see the new address you just imported will move from the address book to your receive list of addresses.
Done.
