Lot's of people are asking. I'm not selling.


It is a lot of money, so yeah, I was kinda nervous something might go wrong.


Alright, so here’s the quick version. It wasn’t as easy as I thought, but since I kinda know my way around this stuff, I managed.

First, I tried using a razor to peel the sticker, but that was a mistake. Ended up just using my nail and it came off no problem.

I thought Electrum could take mini private keys, so I made a new wallet on my phone with the key, but nope—it didn’t work.

Then I found out bitaddress.org can turn a mini key into WIF, so I downloaded it off GitHub and opened the file on my laptop.

Scanned the QR code of the uncompressed key and boom, new wallet.

I wanted to split the BTC across a few addresses, but Electrum on Android doesn’t do that, so I redid everything on my laptop.

Opened Trezor Suite, made a new account, got a bunch of addresses, copy-pasted those into Electrum, and sent the BTC. Waited for it to confirm before saying anything.

Later, I remembered BCH was a thing (oops). I don’t really use it, so I had to look stuff up, found a wallet, imported the key... and yeah, someone had already used mini key in the image I posted and took the BCH. lmao

I didn’t test anything beforehand, and I wasn’t really thinking too hard about security, tbh.
