How does a Woodwallet work?

A Woodwallet works like a traditional paper-wallet : the public side contains the public address where you can send your coins. The private side contains the private key that lets you spend them, protected with a passphrase you set. Both sides comes with an engraved QR code that you can scan with any mobile device and pair with your mobile or web application to manage the funds.

Please refer to our frequently asked questions.

Should I gift the one side double side version?

That is up to you : the single-side version can contain either the public address or the private key. The first can be used to get paid while the second can be kept safe for spending.
On the other hand, the double-sided version contains both the private and the public key. Either way remember that the private side is passphrase-protected, meaning that even if lost or compromised, it is harmless.

How can I generate the needed BIP38-encrypted private key?

Please refer to our HOWTOs page to generate an encrypted private key.

You should never give away your private key to third parties. That’s why we only accept encrypted private keys.  We suggest to make use of state-of-the-art encryption technology BIP0038, specifically designed to work along with the bitcoin protocol. BIP0038 proved safe, and without your passphrase the private side is useless.  We never store your private key anywhere, even if encrypted. If you lose it, you lose access to your coins. A good practice is to have multiple copies of the private key stored in multiple places (Check out the private key only version of woodwallets.)

Please refer to our HOWTOs page to generate an encrypted private key.  If you don’t feel like putting any private key on your wallet you can order our one-sided version with your public address only.

Disclaimer and conditions

Woodwallets are sold as pieces of for collection, with no crypto-currency value attached. Before shipping a product we make sure it is not associated with any positive balance, making it a de-facto empty engraved wood. Before committing any significant amount on an offline wallet you should always make tests with small amounts before. Please double-check that you provided the correct key to us (copy-paste, don’t type).  You should know what you are doing and read-up on the topic. Despite we are here to help, we are not responsible for any losses. Also, we don’t offer returns or reimbursement in case the packet gets lost with the free shipping option.

How does it work?

A public-side only Woodwallet  works like a traditional paper-wallet : it displays your public address where you can send your coins or let other people send coins to you. It comes with an engraved QR code that you can scan with any mobile device and pair with your mobile or web application to visualize your funds. If you want to spend the funds you would need the private-key version. (check out the double-side or private-side version of this wallet).
