Paper Wallet

[katie.mckinley]

Hey All,
Not very active on talking on the board, but I thought I would share my paper wallet I made for one of my offline wallets.
It is a card protector which has my address and QR code on it, with a bitcoin on it (Thank you google image search) and inside hidden inside other sheets of paper is the private key and QR code so when I want to retrieve the bitcoins I just grab the case and open it up.



Thanks for giving me a little attention by looking! Maybe inspire you to make your own wallet somehow!

Huh, my paper wallet is a scribbled down seed on half a sheet of lined paper, shoved down in my backpack with the rest of my papers. I guess I trust myself to keep my backpack close and not to let loose paper shuffle around too much. Your wallet is much nicer and probably less likely to get torn apart; good job with it.

That's pretty good.  It protects the paper from the elements a bit, but more importantly it protects it from getting discarded.  At the same time, it isn't something you'ld be tempted to open up to use unless you really have a good reason.

Great work!

I put my paper wallets in between two sheets of opaque paper and then laminate them and put them in a safe.

Do you own your own laminator and if so where did you buy it?

No.  A friend of mine has one.  But you can get them at any office store.  Here's one for $108.  There's also adhesive laminating paper, if you don't want to buy a machine.  But I prefer having it heat sealed.

I have a code that uses the KJV1611 Holy Bible for a Brain Wallet. I shouldn't have a big problem finding a copy of that anywhere I go. I just hope Tom Hanks doesn't figure it out.

I use the Book of Mormon.  Fewer readers.

How does one do such a thing?

I thought about that but I didn't have any laminate around to run through my little laminator so I improvised :p

Something from the dark ages

Thats not my pic its off google. Im not showing the actual book I keep a paper wallet in.

Although I havent heard of any break ins where bibles get stolen

I created my addresses using vanitygen offline and photographed the screen with the public and private keys. I then copied the addresses down by hand...then I copied it again by hand but reversed the case. I copied this set by hand again. Put memory card and paper in the safe. Tested 1 address (in and out via MtGox) and then sent my funds using the client into the unused addresses the safe.

I put my full set of bitbills and bitbill bank card in the safe and some of my casascius coins too...but I kept my 25BTC and silver 10BTC casascius coins out to play with...oh, and I kept my casascius bearer bar out as a mini bank. Those are just too cool to put away

Seeing the Floppy Disk makes me want to get a whole bunch and put the Public Address on the outside then break it open and hide the private key on the inside. I love having "Physical" Bitcoins so I could make all kinds of 1btc and 5btc Floppies and feel rich as they pile up

You had the HD double density Fujis? Weren't you the Mr. Fancy Pants!

That's a high density, double sided disk. Although the double sided part is redundant, since all high density formats are double sided. Kids these days. Can't even recognise a floppy disk.
