Thank you @schrotti264! Would you recommend a tool for generating different paper addresses for different currencies? A safe tool (that will not steal my prv+pub) and a one the indeed will generate the appropriate address for different currency?

<p>I have several different currencies (on exchange) right now and would like to move them to paper wallet.</p>

<p>1) Do I have to have a different wallet for each currency?</p>

<p>2) Are the algorithms for creating (prv, pub) different for each currency, or is it possible just to create a different pair with the same algorithm (e.g just create different pairs with <a href="https://www.bitaddress.org/bitaddress.org-v3.3.0-SHA256-dec17c07685e1870960903d8f58090475b25af946fe95a734f88408cef4aa194.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">bitaddress.org</a>)</p>

# How to create different paper wallets for different currencies?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-09-19)

I have several different currencies (on exchange) right now and would like to move them to paper wallet.

1) Do I have to have a different wallet for each currency?

2) Are the algorithms for creating (prv, pub) different for each currency, or is it possible just to create a different pair with the same algorithm (e.g just create different pairs with [bitaddress.org](https://www.bitaddress.org/bitaddress.org-v3.3.0-SHA256-dec17c07685e1870960903d8f58090475b25af946fe95a734f88408cef4aa194.html))

Thanks a lot!

**You cannot store completely unrelated cryptocurrencies on the same paperwallet.**

The **algorithms** to create the private key and to create the public from a private key are/can be **different for each crypocurrency** out there. You would have to find tools **for each one** you want to store on paperwallets.
