@aundroid while your intentions are good I have a question why would you choose to go through so many steps to give someone a gift, why not ask him to download Electrum wallet and send him his coins there?. This way he doesn’t need to carry the paper wallet around, and can spend his coins whenever and wherever he wishes too. In my initial days I too had used paper wallets, and as a newbie I didn’t like it at all hence I maybe biased towards using paper wallets.

Because it is supposed to be a gift and I want to hand over the Paper Wallet in a birthday card or something similar.
And in the future please do not quote a complete tutorial.  Tongue

Great Topic thanks for that. You inspired me now to create some paper wallets as a gift for some of my friends.  Grin

Thanks for the positive feedback.
I have already gifted a few Paper Wallets myself and they have been warmly received.

On this occasion I always give a superficial crash course regarding Bitcoin, Blockchain & co.  Grin
