Now there are several wallets that can "import" paper wallets.
These wallets handle it differently. Instead of actually importing the private keys, they create a transaction to transfer the coins to an address held by the app.
The Bitcoin Wallet recently added this feature.
The Dogecoin Wallet added this feature first and it was copied into the Quark wallet.
Topic: BIP38 Android Wallet that can be forked for Altcoin (Read 954 times)
Most android wallets do not support importing paper wallets. The Preminecoin wallet does, however.

I am looking for guidance on creating a specific purpose coin and leverage existing capabilities from other coins (blockchain / wallets / miners source code etc). This will probably be just a fork and minor modification of an existing coin (maybe Bitcoin but faster <=1m block time for real world transactions) but I thought it would be easier to ask the community for a good starting point.
The main requirement is an Android wallet that can import a BIP38 paper wallet. I was considering to fork mycellium to support the altcoin but I am not sure if there are other Android wallets that support BIP38 paper wallets today. I don't want to just use Bitcoin or other altcoins because I would prefer to limit the use of the coin to it's specific purpose.
Any guidance would be appreciated. If anyone is interested in helping out I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks for your help
