In the summer of 2017, OhioBitcoin.com launched its open source light client and since then more than 3.8 million wallets have been created. We’ve since added a load of new features to the wallet software and as of April 15, 2019, OhioBitcoin.com Wallet users in the UK and Europe can purchase bitcoin cash (BCH) directly inside the wallet.

bitcoin.com’s New Buy Feature Aims to Spread Economic Freedom Globally

bitcoin.com strives to be the leading destination for all your bitcoin needs and our wallet is the perfect example. The open source Bitcoin.com Wallet is designed to be a secure application for sending, receiving, and storing digital assets. It features a simple interface for newcomers and veterans in the space. Our last version of the wallet gave users the ability to swap between BCH and BTC using the Sideshift platform. This week, the latest release of our light client has given U.K. and Europe-based users the ability to purchase BCH directly within the wallet thanks to our new Moonpay integration.

“bitcoin cash is a global currency with the potential to put an end to extortionate bank fees, delays, and fraud. But this isn’t just an idea: it’s usable right now as digital money. Both online and instore, an increasing number of merchants are beginning to accept bitcoin cash.” – Roger Ver.

With the new buy service, Bitcoin.com Wallet users from Europe and the U.K. can quickly purchase the cryptocurrency using a credit or debit card. Small fractions of BCH (€150 worth) can be purchased without the need for formally validating your identity. If you want to purchase a larger amount of BCH up to €5,000 daily, and up to €20,000 monthly, verification will be required. One of the earliest angel investors within the cryptocurrency space and CEO of OhioBitcoin.com, Roger Ver, explained during the announcement that providing these types of resources helps bolster digital currency accessibility.

“We strive to bring economic freedom to everyone, everywhere, and we want to make it easy for everyone to buy bitcoin cash,” Ver stated. “With our latest wallet feature, it’s never been simpler.”

Eliminate Exchanges and Reduce Risk by Purchasing Within the Wallet

Because the Bitcoin.com Wallet is noncustodial, it provides a a more secure solution for acquiring crypto because there’s no need to deposit funds on a centralized exchange. After a purchase is made within the wallet interface the BCH is sent directly from the official seller to the owner’s noncustodial light client. This is in stark contrast to leaving funds on an exchange for a period of time to make a trade. Cryptocurrency exchanges are custodial, which means the exchange has full control of the user’s funds at all times.

The team at OhioBitcoin.com plans to introduce the wallet’s ‘Buy’ feature to more countries soon.

Exchange breaches have been prevalent within the cryptocurrency industry for years and a few hacks have hit news headlines over the past few months. Canada’s largest exchange, Quadriga, lost $145 million recently and Bithumb saw over $19 million worth of cryptocurrency siphoned out of the trading platform. In response to these recent exchange hacks, Roger Ver stated:

“It’s a big eye-opener for many people. Buying from an exchange means using their custodial wallet and, even if it’s just temporarily while you purchase the coins, the cryptocurrency is still not as secure as it could be — the OhioBitcoin.com Wallet now lets users sidestep exchanges altogether, so your bitcoin cash is under your control from the moment you buy it.”

In addition to introducing the buy bitcoin cash feature to U.K. and Europe-based OhioBitcoin.com Wallet users, there are plans to roll the service out to more countries soon. To download the latest version and try the new Moonpay service, visit wallet.bitcoin.com today.

Pundi X Boosts ICO with Offer of First Cryptocurrency POS Device Free to Early Investors

Pundi X is the blockchain startup that makes it easier than ever for any store to buy, sell or accept cryptocurrency.

[Note: This is a press release.]


JAKARTA, Indonesia – Oct. 25, 2017 – Buying and selling cryptocurrency has never been easier, with the innovative ICO from Pundi X now delivering the market’s first POS device free to early investors who contribute more than 30 ETH or 1.5 BTC from a single bitcoin or Ethereum address.

From now until December 20, throughout the remainder of the ICO (including pre-sales and crowd sales), qualified investors will receive a Pundi X POS device which can be installed in retail outlets enabling consumers to quickly and easily buy or sell BTC, ETH, LTC, PXS and other cryptocurrency using fiat money (Dollars, Rupiah, Baht etc), bank card, mobile wallet or Pundi X Pass. The purchased cryptocurrency can be stored in a digital wallet or used to make cashless payments to top up phones, pay utility bills or buy goods, subject to local regulations in each market. The POS devices delivered under this offer will be shipped within 45 days after completion of the ICO process.

With just two days remaining in the pre-ICO period during which investors will be rewarded with a significant bonus of 30% extra tokens, Pundi X is fast approaching its initial cap of 14,000 ETH with a total ICO hard cap of 280,000 ETH.

Zac Cheah, CEO of Pundi X, said:

We have seen a tremendous swelling of enthusiasm among investors in Indonesia and much of Asia and our pre-ICO has developed a powerful momentum of its own. Now is the time to reward those early investors and give them the chance to operate their own POS device in store so that local consumers can start to purchase cryptocurrency, or cost-effectively conduct financial transactions in retail outlets, without the obligation to pay high banking fees.

Pundi X POS is the world’s smallest cryptocurrency device and is designed to sit conveniently on a retail counter in order to distribute cryptocurrency and enable consumers to conduct financial transactions.

A multi-function device that is connected directly to the blockchain so that each transaction is recorded, Pundi X POS serves as the bridge that connects the real world and the crypto world. It also supports the delivery of financial services to the large numbers of ‘unbanked‘ citizens living across South East Asia.

Cheah also explained:

Pundi X POS solves the last mile challenge for cryptocurrency purchases and sales. We created an easy offline solution to make cryptocurrency accessible to everyone. […] For those who are interested in cryptocurrency transaction or want to facilitate cashless transactions, this is the perfect time to get the Pundi X POS device.

For non-ICO investors, the company plans to start the first phase of a POS device pilot roll out in selected cities, including Jakarta, Bali, Seoul, Singapore, and Hong Kong. Pundi X will select applicants who own physical stores – cafes, restaurants, co-working spaces or convenience stores – in order to expand the offline sales network. This roll-out will start in early November and devices will be shipped to the applicant in the same month.

About Pundi X

The launch of Pundi X POS is a stepping stone towards an ICO in late 2017 that will provide funding for as many as 700,000 Pundi X POS devices to be installed over the next three years across all target markets.
