I have some Peercoin in cold storage and I would like to retrieve it and move it to an exchange to use the funds.
The problem is that I don’t know how to get my PPC off the paper wallet and back to an exchange.
I have an iPhone and there doesn’t appear to be any good PPC wallet that would allow me to sweep the paper wallet. I have Peerunity wallet on my desktop, but I can’t see how to get the contents of my paper wallet into that Peerunity wallet.
After pressing “load” it populates the “transaction fee” field with the ENTIRE BALANCE of the paper wallet and it is impossible to overwrite with a smaller number.
Thanks for your reply. When you use it does the “transaction fee” populate with the entire balance of the paper wallet? Is there any way to change that?
Txn fee is calculated in such way, sum of inputs minus sum of outputs, that is to say as soon as you add output to any addresses of any positive amount, transaction fee will reduce.
Don’t worry, creating transaction is only first step, you’ll need to sign your inputs next and only then it will make sense to send transaction to the network.
Your outputs should total your inputs minus the fee (0.01 ppc). So if the input is 10 ppc and you want to send 6 ppc to someone, the change amount should be 3.99 ppc. This will automatically cause the fee to be 0.01 ppc.
For future users of this, if you want to empty the contents of the paper wallet completely, you should only withdraw all but 0.01 PPC and that will become the transaction fee.
After clicking “broadcast” the button says “loading, please wait” and is spinning for at least 10 minutes now.
Is this normal?
How long until the funds will arrive in the destination wallet?
If it has shown you transaction id, that is done, you just have to wait until enough blocks are produced to get confirmations up to the number your exchange requires before crediting your account.
you can always check with explorer using your old or new address.
