Hi,
I would like to know if there is a way to lock a wallet untill a certain date or a block heigh will be reached. Huh

For example  I would like to donate to my niece a wallet with some BTCs in but I would like she won't be able to open it before she's 18 years old.

Calculate block number to a certain time should not be an issue taking 10 mins as average time interval. But what about forcing the locked status?
To be feasible,  the method should avoid any future intervention by me so that she will be able to open it anyway even if I would be ( knock on wood Tongue ) RIP.

Any idea about ?

Tnx


Well probably the same way it is done traditionally. Someone else stores the private key for her, you get the public key.
