TxtZ Wallet (BitcoinZ SMS based Wallet)

Wallets
#11

You are right @sj1, high real usage or spam could result in a relatively huge amount for one person, in this case for me… But for this DEMO, I use a Prepaid account and the balance was 50 USD that allow approximately 1000 SMS (so 0.05$ per texto, received and send).

I plan to get a maximum of 20-50 users (registered with START) for this demo. And also if this numbers get spammed, I will mount the same server with a other number that I will send manually to the registred user to give them the possibility to “withdraws” the BTCZ. Additionally I removed the US numbers to avoid spammer (Outside of switzerland, a spammer will also be charged by the operator for the SMS’s).

A estimation is that the 50 (max.) users could be able to do approximativ 5-10 transactions (20 SMS’s per persons).

I prepare a proposal, with some files that I will share to the community before. This proposal will be high level with some applicable fees proposes to support the plateforme (and maybe some restrictions) and others functionality. But let me time until the end of the week…

The essence of the TxtZ technology is that someone can supply a phone number via SMS and get in return a BTCZ address.

Currently that address starts with a zero balance.

It doesn’t necessarily have to be that way.

What if (just to make up a percentage) 50% of all newly-created BTCZ went to a community fund. That fund could then be tapped as the source to provide a starting balance (say, 50 - 100 BTCZ) to every phone that connects to a community TxtZ server.

This seems like it would be a fairly straightforward way to get BTCZ into circulation, technically.

Hosting and cost issues could become serious if millions of people decided to avail themselves of such an offer.

However, isn’t that the kind of problem the coin wants to have?

If demand started exceeding supply, a lottery module could be added. Then people all around the world could choose to enter monthly (or weekly, or daily) into the BTCZ award lottery.

“If you want it, here it is, come and get it - you’d better hurry 'cause it’s going fast*.”

“*” - all gone in 10 years!

Can there be any better way to create a buzz than to engage the human interest in “money for nothing”?!

Definitively I would like see something like that ! No matter if at first it’s for everyone, and latter then a selection or a lottery … I think It will depend on the donations and Financial viability.

Yes I think that ! My firsts estimations would be that for 10’000 actives “TxtZ SMS Wallet” users, it could give a 2-3% supplementary exchanges volume (actually).

A minimal transfer amount as to be fixed. Fees will be applied at least on for every SEND command. Some command restrictions (in time laps) will also be needed. A million of users will only apply if thy can cash out the transfer or exchange it for something. But could be very nice ONE MILLION USERS !

guys, hello! it’s simplistic to give a scheme for transferring coins alternating sms. I can do a project all over Africa at the level of the government. tediously understandable use of the transmission. we can put the node in support of the African people and development. write friends about cooperation. we will do the exchange in Africa. this is 100,000,000 people.

I create a repository for a “bunch of drafts documents” about how (I think) this project could be: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1pT2WPzJyACQSsSdlb-7yWobIfWe4xNne

Some informations are conflicting from one document to the other (and maybe repetitive), I know. It’s a base of work. But, I’m also close to have something that is presentable.

I wait now to receive comments, imputs, critics,… from every person that will help to bring this TxtZ project into a new Big BitcoinZ Service!

@VITCO, I’m not sur that I understand everything correctly, but I give you my opinion:

Yes, a lot of telephony operators already doing money trensfer. But it’s mostly only local, not international.

All over Africa and more, it’s the plan! But I’m also not sure that we will get help from any government…

It’s a huge challenge to make the blockchain (and the related crypto) easy understandable to everyone. And in addition to people who use it with a Nokia 3210… :thinking:

That is what I already do, and any other person that can, should do it. Support people that not have the chance to be connected 24/7 and give them a chance to still use the technology (by this project, use or hold crypto).

I think it’s much more (you forgot a 0). Anyway, if we get just a fraction of % to use the TxtZ project, it will be many hundreds of thousands of exchanges…

Shared: ’
https://mobilesms.io is a privacy focused SMS Verification service - Much like the cryptoworld we care about privacy. We’ve noticed BitcoinZ is privacy-focused and we feel that in sharing the same vision we should also accept cryptocurrency. We are not necessarily a crypto project (yet) but we currently accept BTC and ETH.

But, today we’ve integrated BitcoinZ using the btcz.in gateway! Please stop buy and if you need these services - we accept BitcoinZ!

So, here we are again :blush:

After a heavy loaded week, I found the time this night to migrate my TxtZ application (from one of my miner machine) to a professional cloud server. It was a huge task to migrate the database and the full node wallet, and I also decided to separate all element in different environment to better optimize the backup…

For more info: https://www.infomaniak.com/en/jelastic

As you can see on the image, I plan to put a payment gateway on the same infrastructure, It is still in dev for now.

A little stat about the TxtZ project: 16 users (over 8 country) / more that 320 SMS received & sent !

Next step is to build a web server with basic informations of TxtZ usage (maybe in the next week). I bought the “btcz.app” domain name, so I will first put in place the https://txtz.btcz.app and in the next month (if I’m done with other tasks), I plan to put in place the payment gateway: https://pay.btcz.app

Definitely @Marcelus is a hero! As well as @renuzit and all devs and coders! Very appriciate it Bro! Soon will be funded for sure!
Keep it up! I suggest to not bother atm with legal side…
It has to be run at first to claim legal side of it (, has to be supported by legal groups - near soon). So one comes with tbe other, couldnt be exist without the one. Service has to run to get supporters.
I also suggest to move this half topic and collect everything under a new TxTZ main topic with all the informations.
Or call help to move & rename/ rewrite it!
@cryptorex could help!
To make it even more official.

Thank you all ! I appreciate your support and it is with pleasure that I continue more than ever. And also thanks to @renuzit and all the other coders, again, who wrote the start code for the TxtZ project.

Yep, I often go too deeply into the technique and forget that it is not easy for everyone to understand. So yes, we could open a new topic more informative than technical? (and keep the technical information in a private topic)

From the premise that (at the base) it is @renuzit’s project, do you want to write a new topic about? (and we archive this one)

And for next step (I like to push forward),
I created a small draft site for TxtZ (I chose a URL at random and I disabled the search engine). But I’m definitely not good at web design and I need help with this task. (It is for the moment a lot of plagiarism and I took the image on google): https://sites.google.com/view/acf23jrsd6h78kwewrrrr21345gfm9

If someone is interested in building the site, I share the access in edit mode to continue the work. @renuzit, I can (if you want) also share with you the servers SSH access (securely based on public/private SSH certificate)… LET’S BUILD A TEAM !

** I am confident that this project can make a big difference if it is well managed. And I will continue to support him (even financially) the best I can. **

Friend, maybe I can help with the money for the needs of the community as well. for example, I will still buy coins and send money from them to business. I am now thinking about developing the stock exchange, listing bitcoinz for nothing. and part of the money from the stock exchange, I think to save for the fund of coins. this will be good . Who wants to help security write.
guys we make a website for a company who agreed to shed for bitcoinz products. What are the proposals for integrating payments with the community as a whole? Thank you.

You can use the built in (up arrow) upload icon on toolbar or if your pic is too large, download an image share app (Imgur) and insert that link into the built in tool.

What kind of proposals you mean?
Our plugins are free to use, or if you meant the basic steps about accepting our coin is here:

Make sure you also upload them to http://btczdirectory.com so we can find and advertise them easily! :slight_smile:

A “BTCz-Bank” (or direct exchange desk) by country? or also by third-party “financial” company? … I explain;

  1. The company sells goods in exchange for BTCz, but most likely has to buy these goods in another currency (at least partially), the company will therefore have to resell (at least a part of) the BTCz to pay the suppliers.
  2. Currently, few people have BTCz. Customers will probably have to buy BTCz before buying merchandises in the company.
  3. The “BTCz-Bank” (this term sounds good) is the link between the company and customers (like paypal or other in a online-shop). This “Bank” must therefore have significant liquidity (financial investment) and have the necessary legal authorization in term of finance according to the user countries.

:muscle: If someone decides to do it in one country (or region), others will follow. :muscle:
But we have to be aware of the risk, not only financial but also legal.
