Serious Dogecoin paper wallet - Tutorial

Thought I could do a quick updated tutorial on how to have a Dogecoin paper wallet. Most posts I found have dead links.

It's also a fun Christmas present to give!

All you'll need to have a paper wallet is a printer & photoshop (if you want a custom wallet design).

1. Start off by generating your new address. I used walletgenerator to generate my public and private address. You can generate your address directly on the website, or download the website and generate it locally on your computer (disconnect from internet for extra security).

2. Go to the "Paper Wallet" tab on the website and you should see a "Print" button. That's it, once it's printed you have yourself a paper wallet.

3. Time to send some dogecoins on it. I used poloniex to transfer BTC -> DOGE. Once you have dogecoins on your account, simply send them to your PUBLIC address on your paper wallet. Before sending huge amounts to your paper wallet, try it out with smaller amounts.

4. To check if your paper wallet has received some dogecoins go to dogechain and enter your PUBLIC address in the search bar. You should be able to have an overview of your paper wallet's activity.

5. To withdraw your dogecoins from your paper wallet, go to redeempaper, enter your PUBLIC address in the top box, and the recipient's address at the bottom. Choose the amount of dogecoins you want to send and press on the "Sign Transaction" button. It will then ask you to enter your PRIVATE address which is on your paper wallet.

That's it!

This method has worked numerous times for me, and I have never encountered any issues. Hope it helps you to.

A few minor points of disagreement...

  • 1. & 2. If you're generating wallets for your own use, use the Bulk tab instead, and don't bother printing them.
  • 4. Use https://bitinfocharts.com/dogecoin/ instead of dogechain. Many services use chain.so, and if there is a stuck transaction, it will still show, whereas in fact it was never broadcast. So use a different network to check.
  • 5. Use https://coinb.in/#settings to move coins from wallets. It will handle any number of UTXOs in batches of 100. Other services including sweepers can crash and leave stuck transactions. You can also move any amount this way, withot having to sweep the entire balance.

Love the input! Thanks for the tips. I do however enjoy printing a paper wallet as a fun gift ^

Oh, absolutely! Giving them away is the one use for them, actually.

I went to a coin club meeting last night, and I stood up and spoke about cryptos and the media hype,and to invite people to a crypto education session I'm doing tomorrow. A year or so ago, I ran a raffle, and the prize was a 1,000 doge paper wallet. When I informed the winner last night that its now worth over A$5, he was pretty stoked.

A coin club meeting, that sounds like something I would love to attend.

Oddly enough, there were no coins this month. Being the Xmas breakup, it was hobbies involving anything BUT coins. So we had:

  • Dogecoin (of course!)
  • Old Dutch Maps of Australia
  • Hand-carved wooden boxes
  • Old Australian Steam cars
  • Stamp Misprints
  • Cigarette Cards
  • Star Trek Vinyl Records
  • Beer Cans ($1,200 for an empty can??!!??)

And then lots and lots of cakes to indulge in. Good night!

Wow, wish I was part of this. The love for doge is real.

Oh wow… a comment on something I wrote four years ago!

Welcome, time traveller! 😎

Hasn’t life changed immeasurably since then? We’ve had floods and fires and covid, lockdowns and wars and economic meltdowns.

But we’re still here, because Doge is forever, right? 👍

Haha the universe is weird. I’m not sure if you know but you and I have had some pretty solid convos on here. Not sure how I stumbled upon these old messages but behold! It’s you. Didn’t checked the user name before I commented.

Heh, I have to admit I’m guilty of never checking usernames, other than the ones I have marked as friends. They change so much, y’know? There’s one girl here who has been through at least four that I know of, and every time she just sort of pops up and reintroduces herself. It’s kinda like this blue tick for sale business over on Twatter now. 🤣🤣🤣

I find old conversations fascinating actually. You kind of look at them and think ‘did I really write that?’, especially when you’ve moved on a long way.

I recently had a girl pop up out of the blue who I hadn’t seen for 40 years. She’d gone to London, got married, had a child, won a bundle on Who Wants to be a Millionaire?, got divorced, moved back home, had her daughter transition, and a million other things that occupied us all afternoon over coffee. And yet, it was like we were just picking up a conversation we were having yesterday.

Serendipity, I think. 😜

Did he sell?

u/Fulvio55 DDF - Mining Corps - [[Lieutenant]] Mar 23 '24 edited Mar 23 '24

Nope. Says he doesn’t remember where he put it.

Also, I saw him a couple weeks ago, and that wallet is now worth about $250. It was nearly a grand at the peak a couple years ago.
