A ZeitCoin paper wallet is as simple as a single pairing of a Zeitcoin address with its corresponding Zeitcoin private key. Such a wallet has been generated for you in your web browser and is displayed above.
To safeguard this wallet you must print or otherwise record the Zeitcoin address and private key. It is important to make a backup copy of the private key and store it in a safe location. This site does not have knowledge of your private key. If you leave/refresh the site or press the "Generate New Address" button then a new private key will be generated and the previously displayed private key will not be retrievable. Your Zeitcoin private key should be kept a secret. Whomever you share the private key with has access to spend all the Zeitcoins associated with that address. If you print your wallet then store it in a zip lock bag to keep it safe from water. Treat a paper wallet like cash.
Add funds to this wallet by instructing others to send Zeitcoins to your Zeitcoin address.
Check your balance by going to chainz.cryptoid.info/ZEIT/and entering your Zeitcoin address.
Spend your Zeitcoins by downloading one of the popular Zeitcoin p2p clients found Here for Win/Mac/Linux or Here to compile from source. Run the wallet and then import your private key into the p2p client. Keep in mind when you import your single key to a Zeitcoin p2p client and spend funds your key will be bundled with other private keys in the p2p client wallet. When you perform a transaction your change will be sent to another Zeitcoin address within the p2p client wallet. You must then backup the p2p client wallet and keep it safe as your remaining Zeitcoins will be stored there. Satoshi advised that one should never delete a wallet.
- Use the Bulk Wallet tab to pre-generate a large number of Zeitcoin addresses (10,000+). Copy and paste the generated comma separated values (CSV) list to a secure text file on your computer. Backup the file you just created to a secure location.
- Import the Zeitcoin addresses into a database table on your web server. (Don't put the wallet/private keys on your web server, otherwise you risk hackers stealing your coins. Just the Zeitcoin addresses as they will be shown to customers.)
- Provide an option on your website's shopping cart for your customer to pay in Zeitcoin. When the customer chooses to pay in Zeitcoin you will then display one of the addresses from your database to the customer as his "payment address" and save it with his shopping cart order.
- You now need to be notified when the payment arrives which can be programmatically automated. To manually check if a payment has arrived you can use the Zeitcoin Block Explorer and paste the Zeitcoin address you are checking into the search box. It could take upto 1 hour for the transaction to be confirmed on the blockchain, it's usually alot quicker generally within minutes. However, unconfirmed transactions should appear within 30 seconds.
- Zeitcoins will safely pile up on the block chain. Use the original wallet file you generated in step 1 to spend them.

Zeitcoin stores public keys in compressed format. The client now also supports import and export of private keys with importprivkey/dumpprivkey. The format of the exported private key is determined by whether the address was generated in an old or new wallet.
