Topic: FR: QR code for Private Key / Usecase with mobile phone (Read 1722 times)
Sorry to bump an old post, but did you find a way to achieve this? I would like to have the same wallet on both Armory and iOS bitWallet but did not manage, even trying to follow either of your methods. Are you doing it with a HD wallet, or exporting/importing individual private keys for individual addresses (I only tried with HD wallets)?
Hi everybody,
I'm using armory on my computer and bitWallet on my iPhone. But I want a copy of all my keys stored on the iPhone in armory so I can always remotely empty my phone if I ever loose it.
I've found two ways to do so:
1) Generate a new key on the iPhone and import it into armory by copying it into a secure note in 1Password and importing it into armory
2) Generate a new key in armory and import it on the iPhone. Currently I'm clicking my way to the private key in armory, copy the key, strip it of whitespace and then use a 3d party qr code generator to display the private key so my iPhone can import it.
I prefer the second way cause it does not involve the sync over the servers of 1Password.
To come to the point of my post:
Would it be possible to introduce a feature to display a QR code for a private key in armory? Would make the second option so much more convenient.
OR
Does anybody have a better idea to achieve my goal?
Tnx & Greetings
