How to Download and Use a Paper Wallet?
Instructions – How to Import a Paper Wallet:
A paper wallet (the receipt with two QR codes) is a TEMPORARY form of storing your Bitcoin. The top QR code is the Public Key and the bottom QR code is the Private Key. The Public Key is used to FUND the wallet and the Private Key is used to RETRIEVE FUNDS from the wallet.
DISCLAIMER: Keep your Paper Wallet safe.
Keep your Paper Wallet safe. If damaged, the QR codes will not scan and if the Private Key is incomplete, the funds will be LOST FOREVER.
We’ll walk you through the process of retrieving your funds in 5 steps.
Before we start you would need to have a digital wallet to store the Bitcoin on the paper wallet. If you do not have a digital wallet below will be links to the RockItCoin X app. (The photos below are from the RockItCoin X app.)
Tap on the three horizontal lines at the top right corner.
Select “Sweep Private Key”
Be sure you are in the proper wallet.
BTC = BitcoinBCH = Bitcoin Cash
ETH = Ethereum
LTC = Litecoin
(We recommend you fold the paper wallet on the dotted line to make sure that the PRIVATE KEY is the only one in front of the camera)
NOTICE: If your phone does not automatically scan the code, you will have to use the “Address” function at the bottom of the page and manually enter the Private Key (the long string of letters and numbers) which are case sensitive.
From here it will say “Importing Private Key” and “Private Key Successfully Swept”
Congratulations you have imported your paper wallet. Thank you for choosing RockItCoin!
