Spending from paper wallets

[Chewmagroo]

How do I spend dash from a paper wallet? Can it be done from Dash-Qt?

You should have a private key written there in your paper wallet.
Open Dash-Qt and go to "Tools" -> "Debug console", write "importprivkey yourprivatekeyhere" (replace yourprivatekeyhere with the actual private key), hit enter.
Wallet will take some time to rescan blockchain and once it's done you should see paper wallet balance added to your Dash-Qt wallet balance.
Now you should be able to spend it as usual.

Quick Pointer: Be SURE to spend the ENTIRE balance of your paper wallet to a new address. Because of the way change addresses work, you may loose coins if you only send them out piecemeal.

Open Dash-Qt and go to "Tools" -> "Debug console", write "importprivkey yourprivatekeyhere"
(replace yourprivatekeyhere with the actual private key), hit enter.

Go to Wallet Detail tab, enter bip38 privkey, click View Details button, enter bip38 password, click Decrypt BIP38 button, grab "Private Key WIF 51 characters Base58" and use it in inportprivkey command. Do all of this offline to be more safe.

Unlock wallet before importprivkey.

Error: Please enter the wallet passphase with walletpassphrase first. (code-13)

Copy and paste the pub/priv keys somewhere secure.

Print on colored paper to easily differentiate.
Laminate or put inside plastic sheet protectors.
Cut out and fold it into a baseball card protector.
