Using QR codes

QR codes are the two dimensional bar code that appear on the ' Send' and ' Request' screens. With these you can:

• Make it easy for someone else to send you dogecoin. On the ' Request' screen select a receiving address and add a label and the amount of dogecoin you want to be paid. This creates a QR code in the panel on the right. Copy it with the ' Copy' button or drag and drop it into, say, an email message and send it to the payer.
• If you have a QR code, you can drag and drop it onto an existing QR code or the 'Drag QR code here' text on the ' Send' screen. It is then read and the send form is automatically populated. You can then press the ' Send' button as normal to send the payment
• You can copy a QR code into your clipboard and use the ' Paste' button on the right hand side of the ' Send' screen to paste it in.
• You can also drag the QR code directly to your desktop and a PNG image file of the QR code is created.
• Some sites, notably Dogechain.info, provide QR codes of their dogecoin addresses. You can drag and drop these onto the target in the ' Send' screen and it will automatically create an entry in your list of sending addresses
