Hi all.Send btc direct from open dime to nano s (version 2) ? Had 1 helpfull reply saying i need to send to electrum?
What exactly are you trying to do and what exactly do you need help with? It's pretty unclear to me what you're asking here..
~~Also, you're talking about the Ledger Nano S
https://www.ledgerwallet.com/products/ledger-nano-s, &
https://opendime.com, right?
I think what he is trying to say is that if you want to spend bitcoin on open dime, does one need to use Electrum to send to Ledger Nano S or can one send directly to the Nano S.
1. Opendime creates a private & public key pair; it does not have send functionalities, so therefore you need to import the private key on the opendime to Electrum, then send it to the Nano S.
2. If you are using Electrum to view coins on your ledger (view coins and create tx on Electrum but sign on Ledger), then you can sweep coins of the private key straight without having to create a new wallet which will save some time
For solution 1, when creating a new Electrum wallet, select 'Import Bitcoin addresses or private keys' then paste the private key you got from your opendime into the box.
For solution 2, load the wallet file, then click Wallet > Private keys > Sweep. This will 'sweep' or send all coins associated with the address of the inserted private key to an address in your wallet, creating a transaction.
The 'Address' you see in the last screenshot is the address in your wallet that the coins will be sent to.
Hopefully this helps.
