Title: hello and paper wallet question
Post by: canuck on January 09, 2014, 06:34:14 pm

hi there from the frozen north! Liking Invictus and the various projects. i have a question if anyone can assist, after searching for a method to store my PTS wallet offline, I would like to generate a paper wallet, I seem to only find bitcoin paper wallets and artwork. Does PTS have any solution to print a PTS branded physical paper wallet?

PTS wallet is similar to BTC wallet, so you can use the same method to generate pts paper wallet. For example, to use the QR code generator mentioned in this post.

good to know.

I'm hoping for a solution that could print out a wallet for any cryptocoin - with the proper logo's and so on.
actually even a windows wallet\client to manage all crypto's too.

brainwallet.org (http://brainwallet.org) has an option to generate PTS addresses (and many other cryptocurrencies).

This tool which I announced here--

https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=2217.0 (https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=2217.0)

-- can help you quickly get a secure passphrase-generated PTS address via brainwallet.org.

I forked liteaddress.org for PTS, works well:

Just needs some rebrush :)

A qrcode doesn't do all that much for you if you don't have a phone/laptop app to easily process the data.  I have considered making a paper wallet generator, but without the apps to utilize the QR code it becomes more of a headache than it is worth.

It would be just as good to print out the private key numerous times, so if part of the paper is damaged you can recover.  QRcodes are for convenience but not really that useful for longterm storage.
