Hi people,
I bought some REDD several years ago and sent it to a paper wallet address. I’m wanting to use it.
Do I need to sync the whole blockchain? How big is it?
Is there a workaround so that I can save on data? I’m limited by bandwidth.
I downloaded the wallet and it started syncing from the start. This won’t work for me…
Any help appreciated.
Cheers,
R.
For anyone wanting to do this, you need to bootstrap the sync:
To use the REDD on your paper wallet, you need to do the following:
You will need to import your private key in a real client wallet, the official Reddcoin desktop wallet can be downloaded from Reddcoin.com.
The coins stored on your Paper Wallet can be imported using the command “importprivkey [yourprivatekey]“ (without quotes and brackets) in the “Help” -> “Debug” -> “Console”.
I couldn’t figure out a way to avoid the large blockchain download…4 GB.
Cheers.
