Hello,

I have some bitcoins stored on a paper wallet, that I want to sweep into Electrum. What's the easiest way to do this? I have a webcam that can read QR codes.

Many thanks

#1 Get private key to computer (via webcam)
#2 On electrum create a new wallet (ctrl + n), name it and select "Restore a wallet or import keys"
#3 Put the private key(s) where you normally would put the seed
#4 (dont) set password, let it sync etc.
#5 send to your main electrum wallet that is covered by your seed
#6 (delete temp wallet)
