Topic: Paper Wallet to bitcoin-qt (Read 1157 times)
paper thing is still attracting people.
Thks! I'll try them out.
I haven't been here for a long time due to transition from fresh grad to working "adult".
Anyway, I'm intrigued by the development of Paper Wallet. My question however is how do I add the address from the paper wallet to the bitcoin-qt (for when I need to spend btc - possibly need to update blocks?)
So for example, I go to https://www.bitaddress.org/ and I created a btc address, let's say xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ; along with it a private key of yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. How (if there's a way) do I add this address to the bicoin client, bitcoin-qt??

You can do this with the API method importprivkey:
