Dogecoin Core 1.8.1 also adds in support for printing +paper wallets, and disables connections to pre-1.8 clients. + +Paper wallet support has been developed by AndyMeadows (IRC username), and +can be accessed via the "File" menu. It's intended for two purposes; to generate +small value paper wallets to hand out, and more permanent deposit paper wallets +for keeping balances offline. + +IMPORTANT: If you are producing offline paper wallets, you should do so on a +computer that's disconnected from the Internet. While the wallet generator +does not save the keys it generates, this ensures there is no risk of a virus +or similar capturing the key from memory or interfering with its generation.
