Hello,
I seem to remember seeing a paper wallet generator like: www.bitaddress.org but for PPC, can anyone tell me if this still exists as I cant find it and if it doesnt I can help develop a background for the wallet.
Adam
Something like this would be good
I have made a start on this but I could do with some constructive criticism and some ideas, also does anyone know how to lay the address generator on top of the wallet? just an idea but its not too great at the moment. some of the edges are rough too i’ll sort this later.
“The Future is at Stake” sounds like a warning and does not make me think about safe money. Maby you instead should try: “A Stake of the Future”.
Yes you are right, there is a thread on the slogan for Peercoin but it hasn’t been decided yet. A Stake of the Future does sound better.
I’m not familiar with any programming apart from visual basic but I will have a good look at this. Thanks!
LOVE this wallet design(and the original BTC version too).
Some comments: the ribbons on the left look a bit “power pointy”. Maybe try a different gold texture for the right side?
Hi, sorry to resurrect an old thread, but as a newly registered user of this forum this appears to be the only place I can thus far reply, let alone post a new topic…
My question is, how does one redeem the coins from the offline paper wallet address?
With bitcoin it’s possible to import the private key into the client software. However, PeerCoin-QT has no such facility to do so.
I sent some test coins - a small amount - to the cold storage address and it was successful and shows up in the blockhain. How do I access those funds? I have the private key associated with the paper wallet address, but have no means of redeeming the test balance to the online address.
How do I redeem from a Peercoin paper wallet? Is it even possible? You guys must’ve tested this above, right? I would prefer to store my Peercoin offline as it is much safer than in the cloud on an exchange or in the client/local PC/hard drive etc.
Thanks for any assistance.

Open up the command line
ppcoind importprivkey “your-key-goes-here”
[quote=“sahkan, post:10, topic:640”]Open up the command line
ppcoind importprivkey “your-key-goes-here”[/quote]
How to open the command line? There is no debug console in the PPC client if that’s what you’re meaning?
Thanks.

Just the command line in Linux/Mac/Windows. For Windows it is command.com started from the start menu. Find where ppcoind lives. In windows this is in c:\program files (x86)\ppcoin\daemon.
Of course we would all love to see support for this in the client.
Hi there,
Is there a simple guide to follow to generate an offline peercoin address? I would like to be able to generate a paper wallet offline using a Live CD, though it’s confusing what is the official peercoin offline address generator?
For example, both of these have peercoin in the URL, though do they generate peercoin addresses? The verbiage on each says bitcoin
http://wallet.peercointalk.org/
https://raw.github.com/ppcoin/bitaddress.ppc/master/bitaddress.org.html
If there was a definite/official guide, this would make it easier for us newbies, avoid confusion, and make more comfortable that our coins are going to the correct place.

http://wallet.peercointalk.org/ is a work in progress… sahkan seemed to suggest that this can be used for PPC addresses… there are the images for PPC paper wallets as well that could be included… i just need to spend some time understanding and tweaking the code. Once that is done then full guides will be written up.

Magic. It’s good that I asked.
