Open Source Client-Side JavaScript Bitcoin Wallet Generator
(This helps to generate more random & secure bitcoin addresses.)
Welcome! Let's print out a beautiful and secure wallet for your bitcoins.
Here's an overview of what will happen, step by step.Prefer a 90 second video? Watch a quick demonstration on YouTube »
Step 1: Calibrate Printer Before printing out a wallet you'll need to "calibrate" your printer for zoom and horizontal shift. Without proper callibration, your wallet will end up the wrong size or with a misaligned reverse side. Don't forget to write down the zoom/shift values for the next time you need them.
Step 2: Print Front Next we'll print out the front side of your wallet. A public address and private key will automatically be generated.
Step 3: Print Back Then you will put the same page back in your printer (but upside down) to print out the back side of your wallet. This isn't just for good looks: the back side design includes additional tamper-proof safeguards.
Step 4: Cut, Fold, Seal & Fund Find your scissors! Time to cut out your wallet, fold it, and seal it with tape (or better yet tamper-proof holographic tape!) Now you're ready to transfer bitcoins from your online holdings to your new wallet.
To calibrate your printer, print out this page in LANDSCAPE (wide) format. Based on the results, adjust the "zoom" and "horizontal shift" until the printed ruler closely matches a real ruler, and has equal margins on the left and right sides of the page. Once you have a properly sized & centered ruler, go on to step 2.
Zoom / Shift : Default
Reload the front page into your printer first. And don't forget to print in LANDSCAPE mode!
How to cut & fold your 2-sided wallet:
Cut out your wallet (use the front as a guide, not the back!)Now fold the more narrow private key area in half, and then over again as indicated by the dotted lines in this diagram:
The final wallet will be a rectangle shape with the more narrow private key area folded over it, like this:
Finally seal your wallet by placing two strips of sturdy tape over the top and bottom edges of the private (folded) area:
