I have papersafe bitcoin stock certificate with balance.

[Ziskinberg]

Hi guys, I was checking some of my stuff I purchased in the past, I have silver coins and this one PAPERSAFE BITCOIN STOCK CERTIFICATE.

I check the address and found out there's a balance on it, now, my question is, how can I withdraw it?
Hopefully someone would help as I like to take out the funds if possible.

I have a similar paper like this.

I want to know where to find the password of encrypted private key.

The question is do you have the private key for the bitcoin address?

If yes then you can sweep it to a new bitcoin wallet address, and then you can do whatever you like, i.e. hold or spend it.

First time though to hear a "PAPERSAFE BITCOIN STOCK CERTIFICATE", curious as how you obtain it?

The question is do you have the private key for the bitcoin address?

It's in the certificate actually.  I'm sure it's a private key and there's also a words ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY (Password required)
There's also a qrcode.. I'm not sure how to use it.

What application do I need to download when entering a private key?

I guess I bought it in 2017 just in our favorite forum. I was checking my personal messages history but I could not find any conversation.
I just kept it in my vault and just check now and found a little balance on it.


Hopefully there's a video tutorial so it's more easier for me to understand, lol.. sorry am I too demanding?

There's also a qrcode.. I'm not sure how to use it.

Use QR code reader, but I expect there is nothing except the Bitcoin address. But if you found a private key then of course you can recover the fund if it wasn't encrypted with the password.

What application do I need to download when entering a private key?

Simply install Electrum and swap from there. Make sure you are downloading the wallet from the original website and verify the signature.

See here for the tutorial: How to add a Bitcoin address to Electrum / Difference between sweep and import private keys

If you already have an existing Electrum wallet then just follow the above instructions.

I have updated the OP. .. I was able to scan the private key using exodus wallet but it's requiring a password to be able to access the funds..
I think that's integrated in the paper I received, I just don't know which part to look.

You'll need a passphrase or password to be able to access the private keys and the funds in it, do you remember having one when you got the certificate?

You can import the wallet into a non custodian wallet after decryption. You would need to confirm that the software is compatible with the version of the Bitcoin address

I've just put the address on an explorer out of curiousity. It has 0.01 BTC. Not bad if you are able to recover them and not too bad either if you aren't able to because you have forgotten the passphrase or something. It isn't a life changing amount. I will follow the thread to see how it goes. GL!

This looks to be loaded with 0.01BTC.

The encrypted private key is printed on the paper, the long string starting with "6PRV....".

You should be able to import it to any Bitcoin wallet. Since it is encrypted, it will ask you for a passphrase, which you can find by scratching the scratchable surface on the paper (the area with creator's signature).

You might be able to get a little more that 0.01BTC for this in Collectibles section:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=217.0

Worth posting a thread there if your intention is to get 0.01 (or more). Or redeem it yourself if you're in a hurry.

Does the password can be reveal by scratch off the hologram like this certificate?

But this is very risky, need someone to confirm this.

Edit :

Thank you for all your help guys, I'm so happy today, I was not expecting that I have 500 usd just sitting in a paper wallet that I have no idea it has a value.

Nice! I'm glad to hear that, this is a reward become holders
Keep holding until $1.000.000.000

Can be as I pointed out in my post. Going by OP's picture, the area is still unscratched and can be scratched to get the passphrase.

Oh? It's my first time hearing something like papersafe bitcoin stock certificate. How does it work? At first i thought that it's like some bank account, like you can just show yout certificate and able to get your bitcoin. But then, seeing you don't know the password, it means that the certificate won't help if you don't know the password huh, is it just a formality or what?
If it really can store your bitcoin, it might be the solution for people who keep forgetting or losing their btc password, and lost a huge amount because of it. Might be back here later to know more about this.

The OP has not posted his Papersafe certificate, I think it is quite clear if read a little more carefully. The password is probably located exactly where it has already been suggested, and now all that remains is for the OP to reveal the hidden treasure.

I also found a website where this kind of paper wallet can still be bought, although I'm not sure if you can choose the amount to buy or if all wallets have a fixed 0.01 BTC.

Simply, It's just a bitcoin wallet in a form of paper. The certificate is just to authenticate that the paper is loaded with BTC so that the person who will buy it or in case this paper wallet will change hand overtime can guarantee that the item is legit. In my experience, Paper wallet don't have password. It only contains private key to access the wallet address. So losing or destroying the paper wallet are the only danger for having this kind of wallet.

This one really helped, I was able to recover the funds and honestly, I tried entering the password 2 times as I almost teared one character at the beginning of the password to access the encrypted private key, luckily I still got it.
