Important

  1. Do not lose your Paper Wallet. It can be never recreated.
  2. Be careful of what wallet you use. There is a lot of fraud out there.
  3. Do not give your private key to others.
  4. Every wallet that have the “import your keys” - feature will accept and receive your digital currency if the wallet supports Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), or Bitcoin Gold (BTG).
  5. Not all wallets have the “import your keys” - feature and no wallet supports all digital currencies.
