Can I import a wallet into the Bitcoin.com wallet by reading a private key from a paper wallet?

Tue Sep 12, 2017 2:15 pm

I was just wondering about this.
I found the facility to import a wallet by typing (or importing a QR code) the 12 word seed for HD addresses, but I'm not sure if that will also work with a paper wallet.

If this is not included, it would really be nice to have it.

Thanks in advance for support.

Hello,

Yes you can sweep your paper wallets into the Bitcoin.com wallet. Just click on the "scan" icon down the bottom and scan your private key on the paper wallet, once scanned it will ask if you want to sweep the paper wallet or copy the private key to clipboard, at the stage click on "sweep paper wallet"

Remember paper wallets are a once off use item, do not reuse it and always remember to sweep all the funds at once.

Great.

So will it sweep both BTC and BCH depending on the type of wallet I selected to import?
