Feature request: Import private keys from paper wallet via qr code


Posted on Mar 25, 2012 by Happy Lion

Hello,

It would be amazing (a game changer) if Bitcoin spinner had support for multiple private keys. The goal I have in mind that requires multiple key support is to import a private key from a paper wallet ala bitaddress.org, Casascius coins or other private key formats.

Thanks,

David

Hi David, The way that BitcoinSpinner was built does not allow it to import arbitrary private keys. BitcoinSpinner uses deterministic keys based on a seed, which is what you backup/restore. However, currently BS only allows you to manage one deterministic private key, and this may change going forward.
