Hai!

So, I decided to re-use my old ASICMiner USB Miners for a good purpose (In my opinion), instead of throwing them away or trying to sell them futilely, I decided to give each of my siblings a couple each in their favorite colors. They know 'of' my obsession with crypto, but have never really had the opportunity to get into it. Anyway, I also want to give them 0.01BTC each on a little paper wallet to put inside their cards. Only problem is, I don't have any ink for my printer, so that is not an option.

Any ideas on how I can get the priv keys onto a piece of paper with just a pen or pencil? Any wallet makers/tools that would allow me to achieve this in any way possible? I really want to do this for them, but need to find a way to.

I would appreciate any ideas Smiley

Why not just use https://www.bitaddress.org and write the public and private keys on the card? Will be a PITA to input, but without a printer thats the only way I can think of...

Yeah man I was thinkin that might be my only option. I thought a while back though, I came across a website that allowed you to store that info securely, tailored specifically to BTC, but I could have dreamt that Sad Sigh.

I wonder if I should make a vanity addy with their names in it and just write the priv keys on that.

I will assume that there is no shops near you to get ink....

Have you looked into mini-addresses?
