Closed this issue · 3 comments

I gave away some paper wallets for Christmas. Friends are having problems
transferring them back onto their smartphone. Sweeping private key would be a
useful functionality. Blockchain.info does it very well.
What steps will reproduce the problem? (suggested scenario)
1. Tap options and select Back up Keys, then pick Sweep private key.
2. Snap a photo of private key.
3. Have all funds transferred to Android wallet.
Thanks,
M

The Bitcoin protocol does not support this. Using paper wallets is discouraged
due to the inherent risks. I suggest the next time you give away Bitcoins, use
a standard Bitcoin transaction.

Sweeping paper wallets is implemented since some versions.
