I need to send bitcoin to my family. How do I go about it?

First, make sure the request is not a scam trying to trick you into sending money to someone you don't know! If you're confident in the legitimacy of the request, follow these steps: 1. Download a free Bitcoin wallet from your mobile phone's App Store. Follow the setup instructions; this will generate a Bitcoin address for you, which works similarly to a "bank account number". 2. Bring cash, your phone, and a photo ID (driver's license or passport) to our ATM. Register at the ATM (usually takes 3 minutes, but it can take up to 30 minutes). Once registered, follow the on-screen instructions to purchase Bitcoin. The cash you insert will be converted into Bitcoin and sent to your phone's Bitcoin wallet. 3. Send the required amount from your mobile phone to your family. That's it!

How can I send Bitcoin from my wallet to another person account who is on another site?

First try to find an option in your wallet that says "send" or "pay" with Bitcoin. Then you simply copy and paste your friend's Bitcoin address into your wallet's sending form ("destination address") and specify the amount. Different wallets have slightly different layouts or labels but it is all quite similar in that you will need the recipients Bitcoin address and a specific amount you would like to send (similar to Paypal, Venmo or Square cash). Once you hit "send", the amount you specified will be deducted from your balance. Once the transaction confirms (settles) on the Bitcoin network, your friend will see it become available in their balance.

What is the price of bitcoin?

The price of Bitcoin follows rules of supply and demand. As Bitcoin's rate of issuance is mathematically fixed, sharp increases in demand or supply make Bitcoin's price highly volatile. As Bitcoin keeps appreciating over time, however, it becomes less volatile over time. You can find our Bitcoin price rate which we calculate in real-time when you visit our kiosks. The rate is displayed on the kiosk landing page and includes all our fees.

My last transaction is not showing up in my wallet?

Sometimes it might take up to 20-30 minutes before the transaction is dispatched. In addition, the Bitcoin blockchain, which is a global settlement network can get congested periodically. Remember: Bitcoin replaces an entire central banking system and realizes a final settlement of all transactions permanently. This coordination on the blockchain takes a bit of time. We recommend to keep checking the blockchain explorer link that we send out in our receipts per email or SMS. You will see your transaction pending - many wallets will only display fully confirmed transactions, not pending ones.

Navigating the practical aspects of using Bitcoin involves understanding three key components: wallets, exchanges, and transactions. Each plays a crucial role in the effective management and use of Bitcoin.

1. Bitcoin Wallets:

A Bitcoin wallet is a digital application that allows you to store, send, and receive Bitcoin. Importantly, the wallet doesn't store the actual Bitcoin, but rather the private keys that provide access to your cryptocurrency.

Types of Bitcoin Wallets

Types of Bitcoin Wallets
Wallet Type	Characteristics	Security Level
Hardware Wallets	Physical devices storing private keys offline	Highest security
Software Wallets	Desktop or mobile applications	Moderate security
Web Wallets	Browser-based, third-party controlled	Lowest security

The security of your Bitcoin critically depends on how you manage your private keys. Losing your private keys means losing your Bitcoin permanently, while unauthorized access can result in complete theft of your funds.

2. Bitcoin Exchanges:

Exchanges are platforms that enable buying, selling, and trading Bitcoin. They serve as critical bridges between cryptocurrency and traditional financial systems.

When choosing an exchange, consider multiple factors including security measures, transaction fees, user interface, regulatory compliance, and reputation in the cryptocurrency community.

3. Bitcoin Transactions:

Bitcoin transactions are irreversible. Always double-check recipient addresses and transaction amounts before confirming, as mistakes can result in permanent loss of funds.

Transaction times and fees can vary based on network congestion. Higher fees typically result in faster transaction confirmations.

4. Using Bitcoin for Payments and Transfers:

Bitcoin offers potential advantages for international transfers, including potentially lower fees and faster processing compared to traditional banking systems.

5. Staying Informed and Secure:

Continuous education and robust security practices are essential in the dynamic world of cryptocurrency. Stay updated on technological developments, regulatory changes, and best security practices.

In summary, effectively navigating the world of Bitcoin requires understanding and managing wallets and exchanges, being mindful of transaction nuances, and maintaining vigilant security practices in the ever-evolving cryptocurrency ecosystem.
