Make a Lynx paper wallet.
Create a Lynx address and its private key right here in your browser, then print it and keep it somewhere safe. Nothing you make on this page is sent anywhere.
The safest way
Four steps, with the internet switched off.
STEP 02
Disconnect
Turn off Wi-Fi or unplug the network cable. The page keeps working, even if you reload it.
STEP 03
Make and print
Move your mouse to add randomness, choose a design, then print. Fold along the dashed line to hide the private key.
STEP 04
Close the tab
Close this tab before you reconnect. Then send LYNX to the address on the paper whenever you like.

Paper wallets are not available for Lynx yet. Every chain the generator supports is on the LynxPaperWallet page.

Addresses and private keys will be created for the chain you choose. You can switch chains at any time from the menu.

Lynx Address
Private Key
SECRET
A Lynx wallet is simply a Lynx address paired with its private key. This one was made in your browser and is shown above.
To keep it, print it or write down both the address and the private key, and store the private key somewhere safe and dry. Anyone who has the private key can spend everything sent to the address. Reloading this page or clicking Generate New Address makes a new key, and the old one cannot be shown again.
Add funds by sending LYNX to the Lynx address.

Step 1 Public Key:
Copy and paste the above into the Your-Part-Public-Key field
in the Vanity Pool Website.
Step 1 Private Key:
Copy and paste the above Private Key field into a text file.
Ideally save to an encrypted drive. You will need this to
retrieve the Lynx Private Key once the Pool has found your
prefix.
Enter Your Part Private Key (generated in Step 1 above and
previously saved):

Vanity Lynx Address:
The above is your new address that should include your
required prefix.
Vanity Public Key (HEX):
The above is the Public Key in hexadecimal format.
Vanity Private Key (WIF):
The above is the Private Key to load into your wallet.
Your Lynx Private Key is a unique secret number that only you
know. It can be encoded in a number of different formats.
Below we show the Lynx Address and Public Key that corresponds
to your Private Key as well as your Private Key in the most
popular encoding formats (WIF, WIFC, HEX, B64).
The Lynx Qt wallet uses compressed keys, the WIF Compressed format below.

How do I make a wallet using dice? What is B6?
An important part of creating a Lynx wallet is ensuring the
random numbers used to create the wallet are truly random.
Physical randomness is better than computer generated
pseudo-randomness. The easiest way to generate physical
randomness is with dice. To create a Lynx private key you only
need one six sided die which you roll 99 times. Stopping each
time to record the value of the die. When recording the values
follow these rules: 1=1, 2=2, 3=3, 4=4, 5=5, 6=0. By doing
this you are recording the big random number, your private
key, in B6 or base 6 format. You can then enter the 99
character base 6 private key into the text field above and
click View Details. You will then see the Lynx address
associated with your private key. You should also make note of
your private key in WIF format since it is more widely used.
Made in your browser by the open-source LynxPaperWallet generator, a fork of bitaddress.org. Prefer a file? Download it from GitHub and open it on a computer that is never online.
Spend it later
Import the key into the Lynx Qt wallet.
When you are ready to spend, open Window > Console in the Lynx Qt wallet and import the private key with this command:
importprivkey <private key>
The wallet then scans the chain for coins already sent to the key, which can take a while. A BIP38 key (it starts with 6P) has to be decrypted first: paste it into the Wallet Details tab above with its passphrase, ideally offline, and import the key it shows.
If the console replies that only legacy wallets are supported, your wallet is a newer descriptor wallet. Follow the descriptor steps in the LynxPaperWallet import guide instead.
