Question

I'm having trouble transferring a paper wallet transaction into my blockchain wallet. What can I do?

Community Answer

Use Electrum or any other app where you can have the private keys. Do not use blockchain wallet, as of 20 January 2021, there is no way to keep nor even see your private keys; not your keys, not your BTC, so beware.

Question

I lost my private key. Is possible to deposit and and get the private key which I lost?

Community Answer

The private key is the only way to get access to your bitcoins. Either you have the 12 words passphrase to restore, or impossible. Bitcoin encryption is known for being extremely robust.

Question

If I made the Paper Wallet before August 1st 2017, will it retrieve also the other coins?

Community Answer

As long as you have the paper wallet and you share it with no one, your bitcoins are safe. A BTC wallet can keep BTC only.

Question

What would I need to do to get a paper wallet to store my Bitcoin in?

Community Answer

You need to be very cautious when generating your paper wallet. Go to a website that proposes the option to do it offline. Once you have loaded the webpage, you can go offline. Generate your paper wallet(s) only when you are offline and print them still being offline. Do not connect to the internet even after having generated your wallets. A single mistake can lead to the loss of your bitcoins. Consider formatting/ reinstalling your system once the operation is done. You can do that also by installing a virtual machine with Virtualbox (easier to delete afterwards). Safety is not random, if your bitcoins are worth worrying about, then follow the advice.
