How to send bitcoin to a QR code on a PC?

[yenom]

I have electrum and Multibit wallets. If I want to send bitcoin to a QR code in an image, what's the best way? I don't want to do it on a smartphone because I don't have a smartphone wallet.

For example how do I send to this address from Multibit?

Googled "online scan qr code" which suggested this http://webqr.com/ and so I just tested that with the above image and it suggests 1Fkp2maqnjP24wjFy47sfMPGVGji7ybvPE.
Perhaps do the obvious test with whichever service you use that it's not throwing the same address for all images.

I could have done that, thanks and sorry for wasting your time.

Interesting to see that's possible. Quite useful, if you trust the website..

Note:  always check out the address and site.  It's very easy to take a photo like that and cut and paste another's address.  Healthy skepticism will help protect integrity.  Should have a site in that sign for reference.

Looks ok, the adress on both pictures in the article are the same

I found another site using Google and compared the addresses, and then compared those to the one posted in here. I wouldn't trust one or two sites, would need three, or my own trusted QR code decoder.

Better will be an offline QR code reader. I've not looked but expect if it's online, it's available already.

If you have a mac with a webcam Hive just added that feature.
