Now, there is no option on android electrictrum to save as a file. I can copy the text and put it in a txt file but what should I name the extention and will it work if imported as a file.
You can save the copied text onto a txt file or none, the important thing is the contents.
And send it to your offline Electrum, open the file "
as text" or open using a text editor app and then copy its contents.
Is the offline Electrum also Android?
If so, you can import it via "
Send->Paste", then you can proceed to sign and broadcast the transaction.
If Desktop, use "
Tools->Load transaction->from text".
Thanks I use tails to sign offline. I will past the text to a .txt file and try importing it.
When I issued a report on GitHub about the QR scanning error message, I was told "if the data won't fit in a qr code, then it won't fit."
So how would I make it fit? Why have the option to scan a QR code that won't fit?
