3\/ Now you can either go with the airgapped option using SD Card or via USB with the Coldcard connected to the computer.<\/strong> Either: – Airgapped: Click “Upload from SD Card” – USB: Click “Get via USB”, wait for about 30 seconds until the loaders finish, then skip over to step #5.<\/h4>\n

4\/ Select the file you exported from the Coldcard to the SD Card.<\/strong> Then click “Choose”. (to export – on your Coldcard, select Advanced -> MicroSD Card -> Export Wallet -> Generic JSON. When asked for account, select acount number (default is 0) and confirm the export.)<\/h4>\n

6\/ You should see a popup titled “New device was added successfully!”.<\/strong> You can click now either on the “Add new wallet” button on the left sidebar; or on the “Create wallet” in the popup (the latter will take you to step #9, Specter will automatically do steps 7 + 8 for you).<\/h4>\n
