Thanks for the BIP38 integration. It feels a lot more secure having a password to get to the wallet, though I realize passwords can be forgotten.
? - Is there a walk through available on importing it into the wallet? (E.g. - How do we "cash in" (import) using the BitcoinQT client? I imagine we need the private key format to do the import.) I will play with a fraction of a BTC of course before utilizing the new wallets.
Any recommended BIP38 links would be appreciated.
Thanks,
IAS
After searching for this answer for a while, I found that I was able to get the funds from my BIP0038 encrypted paper wallet imported to my Blockchain.info wallet.
Under the Import/Export section, you'll find a place to "Import Private Key".
Once you input the encrypted private key, it askes for the passphrase you used to encrypt it with.
Super easy !
Side notes:
- Don't be tempted to use the "Import Paper Wallet" with the webcam option at the bottom of that page. You'll get an "Unsupported key format" error message.
- You can use webqr.com if you're lazy like me and don't want to type out the entire addrress.
