We also want to give you a short description of what a QR code is and how it relates to crypto. For the more experienced crypto user you may be interested in our quick start guide below on how to use and integrate our Bitcoin QR code generator API.
Crypto is virtual or digital money designed to work as a decentralized medium of exchange. Crypto is short for cryptography and is how it secures and verifies transactions.
The amazing math behind crypto is also how it controls the creation of new crypto tokens or coins — like Bitcoin for example.
Bitcoin is like gold in many ways and just like gold it requires work and energy to "extract" and cannot be created out of thin air. It must be "mined" via mathematical means.
Bitcoin is the first decentralized peer-to-peer payment network that is powered by its users with no central authority or middlemen.
QR codes (quick response codes) are static images made up of squares that are arranged inside a square grid usually on a white background for better contrast when scanning. These codes can be read by devices such as a camera. The data read in these patterns are present horizontal and vertically.
These matrix type barcodes were created in Japan for the Japanese automotive industry. QR codes are simply machine-readable labels via optical scanning which contains information about just about anything you want.
Most QR codes contain information about a website URL (uniform resource locator), URI (uniform resource identifier), address, email, etc. There are four types of standardized encodings used when generating QR codes (alphanumeric, byte or binary, numeric and kanji).
Converting a crypto wallet sending or receiving address into a QR code format is an easy way of making or receiving payments. Many crypto wallets and (d)apps support the scanning of QR codes.
You can create your wallet QR code for scanning by entering a public wallet address into the field marked "wallet address" located in the top section of our website and pressing the generate your QR code button. Once generated you can download it and save it for use on a website or share it with your friends.
Today's projects in the crypto space have a pretty good incentive to facilitate crypto payments for their users. Our Bitcoin QR code generator helps make this process simple and reliable. All you need is a quick scan from your smart phones camera to acquire the sending or receiving address.
Bitcoin wallet addresses as well as other types of cryptocurrencies are made up of a series of letters and numbers that can be longer than 34 characters. This makes it very inconvenient to have to enter manually by hand each time you need to send or request a payment. So by using our app that long address can be turned into a QR code ready to scan quickly and easily.
There is more to a public wallet address than just the address itself. It also has a corresponding private address (private key) for each of your public addresses. The Bitcoin private key is a random string of numbers that allows Bitcoin to only be spent by the person in possession of this number.
The public wallet address is generated using the private key but it's virtually mathematically impossible to reverse the process and generate the private key only using the public address. Other blockchain crypto addresses such as Ethereum and Monero work on this same principal and in very similar ways. Usually — the only difference is the address format.
Depending on the type of crypto and wallet you have, the way to obtain a public wallet address can be different for each of them. If you don't yet have a wallet then a good place to start is by getting your first Bitcoin wallet address at bitcoin.org. They even have an easy step by step wizard to help you in selecting a wallet to store your Bitcoin securely.
To generate a Bitcoin wallet address, you can use a variety of online or offline wallet providers such as Electrum, Mycelium, or bitaddress.org. These platforms offer a simple interface to generate a Bitcoin wallet address and associated private key. To create a new wallet address, you'll typically need to select the "create new wallet" or "generate new address" option and follow the prompts.
Your new Bitcoin wallet address will be a long string of alphanumeric characters that is unique to your wallet, and it can be used to send and receive Bitcoin transactions. It is important to keep your private key secure and to back up your wallet data in case of loss or damage to your device.
The following are the major cryptocurrencies our Bitcoin QR code generator app currently supports. Use our contact form if you would like us to add your crypto. With enough demand we will be happy to include yours.
Bitcoin uses innovative peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority or banks; managing transactions and the issuing of Bitcoin is carried out collectively and transparently by the network. Bitcoin is open-source; its design is public, nobody owns or controls Bitcoin and everyone can take part.
