Just looking for some cool paper wallet templates? Go to outputs subdir and take any of the PDF files for use on Coldcard. You can view them with normal PDF programs, but they have been specially prepared for editing by the Coldcard.
- an artist creates the PDF with background artwork, blank spots for QR's
- locations for pubkey, privkey QR's and any text blocks are defined mm by mm, in
build.py - run
build.pyto add placeholders objects for the 2 QR codes, related variable text - a template file--which looks and acts like a PDF---is constructed, in
./outputs - use the resulting (pdf) file on Coldcard via a MicroSD card
- the Coldcard can find what it needs inside the PDF template and will modify it with final values
- you must include whitespace around the QR code: more the better, and should be fully 'quiet'
- QR will have background white with black pixels ... so do not place over gradient
This project isn't done yet!
- make it easier to add new templates; pull meta data out of
build.pyinto other files - build a gallery of useful examples
- make many seasonal templates, starting with Nov/Dec holidays

Made a zero-border verion 4 image here: https://www.nayuki.io/page/qr-code-generator-library
-
With 8 pixels per module, like we will be doing.
