There are a number of wallets that can be used to import your BTC from a paper wallet to a software wallet. Below are the instructions to use The Bity Wallet for this purpose:

  1. Download and install The Bity Wallet (Android or iOS)
    ​​

  2. Create or import a wallet

    ​​Important: Keep your secret 12-word safe - Handwritten and not saved in any electronic device.
    It is the ONLY way to recover your funds if you lose access to your wallet!
    ​​​

  3. Tap on the Scan icon (top right of your screen)


    ​​

  4. Scan the QR code of your BTC private key and tap on Sweep
    ​​

That’s it, your BTC are being imported into your Bity wallet!

Important notes:

1) Never show or send your QR code/Private keys to anyone
You must be the only one who knows it
​​

2) Do not trust anyone on the internet asking you to send them your cryptos and that they will trade it for you and make you earn money

3) Keep your tickets safe, if you have any issue with your transaction they will be asked by our Support
