Ethereum: How do I scan my bitcoin receipt into my wallet?
Scanning a Bitcoin Receipt: A Step-by-Step Guide
Congratulations on your recent transaction! If you’re like many users, you’ve received a Bitcoin confirmation via email or SMS from Robocoin, a popular ATM provider that offers cryptocurrency transactions. You’ve downloaded the Blockchain wallet app and want to scan the receipt into your wallet. In this article, we’ll walk you through the process.
Understanding the QR Code
A Bitcoin receipt typically contains a unique 32-digit QR code that is used to link your cryptocurrency account to the blockchain. This code serves as proof that you accepted the transaction and can transfer it to your Blockchain wallet. To scan the receipt into your wallet, you’ll need to find this QR code.
QR Code Location
- Check Your Email: Open your email inbox and look for a message from Robocoin with a subject line like “Your Bitcoin has been received” or “Transaction confirmed.” The body of the message may contain a link to download the Blockchain wallet app.
- Open the Blockchain app: If you’re not already in the app, open it on your mobile device and go to Settings or the menu bar.
- Look for the QR code scanning option: Scroll down and find the option related to receiving Bitcoin transactions, such as “Scan receipts” or “Verify transaction.” You may need to enable location services to access the QR code (if prompted).
Scan a receipt
- Access the scan confirmation feature: Look for the option for “Scan confirmation” or something similar, usually under the “Receipts” or “Transactions” tab.
- Select your transaction: Choose the specific transaction you want to scan, making sure it is the correct transaction from Robocoin (it should be visible on the QR code).
- Scan the QR code: Open the camera app on your device and point it at the QR code in front of you. Take a photo or select an existing image using the camera.
- Verify scan: The Blockchain Wallet app will attempt to verify the scanned transaction. If successful, the confirmation should be linked to your wallet.
What to do next
If the receipt is not linked to your wallet after scanning:
- Check your email again: Check if you have received an email from Robocoin with instructions on how to link your Bitcoin receipt.
- Contact Blockchain Support: Contact Blockchain’s customer support team for assistance with your receipt.
Remember, it’s important to keep your wallet app up to date and secure to ensure the integrity of your cryptocurrencies.
