Why not start your own node and import them straight to their, at least then you are in control of your own money....
Because I have no idea what you are talking about. That's probably a good reason right? Hehe.

I'm getting extremely frustrated. I have a bunch of paper wallets and I can not find a clear way to import them in order to send them to Coinbase. I'm using iOS and a Mac, and I have blockchain.info wallet and Coinbase.
I can't find an import button on the new blockchain wallet, just legacy which I can't access.
Can someone save me from this madness and give me a clear path to getting paper wallets into Coinbase? (I don't use android)

I think you can easily import paper wallet to blockchains.info , you just need the private key of a paper wallet copy it and go to this site https://blockchain.info/wallet/#/settings/imported-addresses after that hit impor wallet button and paste you private key.
but if you have logging problems , create a new wallet if the old wallet is empty. thank you

should be standard to import a paper wallet on any app unless the encryption method is not used by that wallet just take a photo, they did it on CNN and someone stole the funds straigtt away by taking a photo of the screen
when was this?
i remember there was a program that was explaining how bitcoin works and how easy it is (not sure if it was on CNN) and the QR was a giveaway nobody stole anything!

Its well hidden in blockchain.info, but you can import private key under security settings/addresses. After importing, you dont need to send the funds from paper wallet to blockchain.info main wallet (you might cancel or ignore it), just choose transactions or wallet/send and choose the imported address instead of the blockchain.info main wallet.

I use CoinPocket for IOS. It is very simple to use and support import of paper wallet. The private key can be exported (in BIP38 default). Fee is 100 bits per transaction (pre-set??).
use electrum to import the paper wallets then send the coins to wherever you need them to be at. it is light wallet so you don't have to download much.

Breadwallet for Ios deals with paper wallets just fine.

Thank you. That appears to have what I'm looking for. I just don't understand why all apps don't allow this. You have to hunt for one.

It hasn't become. Since the principle has always been the same, it never changed.
Fine it's me. I don't care. Just help me get it done.
Don't import them to a centralized wallet. That's your first mistake. Try an app or program that doesn't store your private keys online. I suggest Mycelium or electrum.
Ok...I keep hearing about mycelium. But there isn't an iOS app, just android. So how could I use mycelium?
