Hi there.

I know that on Bitcoin paper wallets you need to be able to scan a barcode (Am I right)

What sort of devices could I use to scan it or is there an app I could get for my ipad/ blackberry?

I have no knowledge on paper wallets, so I need basic step by step instructions on how to transfer BTC from my paper wallet to my bitstamp account.

Thanks very much

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

Yeah, there's a few on the applestore. You can use the blockchain.info app for this as well.

You don't need to be able to scan the barcode - you can just type in the key. If you have a smartphone, you can use one of the many Android or Iphone scanner apps that use your camera for a scanner.

Ok,

So say I want to transfer the balance from paper wallet to bitstamp do I just type the code into bitstamp as if I was transferring bitcoins?

I think you might have to scan the funds to a wallet then send them to bitstamp that way.

Yes. A paper wallet is just a backup. You import it into your wallet and spend like normal.

Just scan the wallet with your app and credit the funds to your wallet. When the confirmations have completed just send it to your bitstamp account. Should be as simple as that.

Make sure you back up your coins if you’re just using the app. Apple has just removed it from their store.
