Use Jade Plus QR Scan with BlueWallet

  • jade

Jade Plus's QR Scan functionality allows it to be used with BlueWallet, a popular mobile Bitcoin application. BlueWallet offers a simple interface while also providing the option for advanced features.

Note: QR mode supports Bitcoin transactions only. Liquid is not supported via QR.

Prior to setup, prepare Jade Plus for QR Mode. Then download BlueWallet.

In order to receive bitcoin and create transactions for Jade Plus to sign, your Jade Plus will need to be set up for watch-only functionality with BlueWallet first. This process only needs to be done once for each device you use Jade Plus as a signer on.

1.

Unlock Jade Plus, ideally by accessing QR mode.

Navigate to OptionsWallet Export Xpub. Jade will then display your xpub as an animated QR code.

Warning: We do not recommend changing the default settings unless you are absolutely certain of the implications of selecting Wrapped Segwit or Multisig, as this may cause you to create the incorrect wallet.

After the address is verified, share it with the sender to receive your funds.

Note: If Jade Plus is unable to verify your address, this does not necessarily mean there is malicious activity involved. Make sure to review our address verification guide for more tips on how this process works and common troubleshooting steps.

Select Scan QR on your Jade Plus and point the camera at the QR PSBT. If the QR code is animated, Jade will need to capture every frame that is displayed to continue.

Tip: The progress bar will fill up as you successfully scan new frames. If the progress bar is not updating, change Jade Plus's angle or distance from the QR until you find the optimal placement for scanning. View more scanning tips.
