there are about a dozen forks of bitcoin that have viable amounts that can be recovered[/quote]
I only know of BCH/BSV/BCH-A/BTG/BCD that are currently worth it. Which ones did I miss? As far as I know they either have very low trading volume, or no working wallet, but if I missed some, I have work to do![/quote]
Sorry, my bad - I
think I meant to say HALF a dozen...
Ballet Wallet will import BTC/BCH/BSV/BCHA/BTG/BCD at the same time with the one privkey while coinomi imports BTC/BCH/BTG/XBC/BSV/BTCZ one at a time (but with just the one privkey)
* when I say import, the funds are sent as a transaction to a new wallet address contained within the relevant App.
From the above, there are seven plus BTC (which is getting near to a dozen I guess ...) there could be more I've missed if they have non-bitcoin names.
The actual bitcoin we've reached an agreement to split the initial 0.11 into smaller sizes (probably 0.01 a piece on new paper wallets) so that if the price jumps even higher in the next five, ten... twenty years, the sale price won't be as astronomical to ask someone to pay in a cash/hand over the paper wallet transaction.
Out of curiosity: are you now using SegWit paper wallets? I've never made those by myself.
Not as yet, the easyest way (which I'm going to do) is go to
generate a pubkey/privkey pair then use
Zint Barcode studio or similar to generate a QR code and print out using Open Office or similar (I use the Portable Apps version).
If you *really* want to be sneaky, you can create a NON QR code
e.g.
or
or
or
and slot those barcodes into text in a pdf (or even a printout) where they appear to be for something else entirely. A person not in the know wouldn't know what sort of bar code, where it was stored (in the clear, or with-in a pdf etc) - as a label on a book, or a jar of coffee... They would have to spend days barcode scanning *every* surface. (not to mention
the Lego Set)
With regards to security, my suggestion is don't overthink security of your gift for someone who may not be tech savy.
A timelock solution without private key may mean you can't access future Forks.
I've tried the coinb.in method as suggested by others and get glib responses when I asked for help in those threads (that is to say I have funds locked away that are seemingly permanently locked - even after the test time has elapsed).
I may have seen it in the past, but just in case: can you share the links to read up on this?
I'll dig out the link (probably tomorrow as it's getting towards midnight here time)
Did you know
hxg5JYz
is a bitcoin wallet address ??
See if you can work out the answer to that.
