Make a suggestion Improve this page

The Viewing Protocol is a simple procedure for viewing your balance of funds currently in one cold storage address.

  1. Open your electronic copy of the Cold Storage Information Page (see Section II of the Deposit Protocol for details). If you’ve lost access to it, you’ll need to recreate a new electronic copy by transcribing one of the hardcopies (stored with each private key) by hand.
  2. Go to Blockstream, paste your cold storage address into the search bar, and press Enter.
  3. You’ll be taken to a page that says “Address” at the top, with your cold storage address listed underneath.
  4. Your balance will be listed on the page on the line that says “Confirmed Unspent”
