Support #68
Assist users in getting crypto currency
Description
The main audience of this project will probably be members of the crypto community.
We do however want to also reach out to those willed to invest a couple of minutes and a bit of cognitive effort and provide them at least with some basic information and useful links. Example: https://www.buybitcoinworldwide.com/ (we will however focus on Ether).
If deemed feasible, we may also integrate some kind of basic exchange.
This needs to be well integrated into the user journey.
History
#1 Updated by leantom over 7 years ago
Cryptocurrency is supposed to be decentralized and not the same structure as in our banking system. Coinbase and others offer to handle the keys but also want to have partially extensive registration procedures.
Consequently we need to get people to use either a desktop or (imo preferably) mobile wallet.
Users without a wallet - looking for a mobile version:
--> Download wallet (should be able to handle at least Ether and P4P ERC20 token) / could be prefilled with 1 P4P token - when used donation is made by Kunsthaus
--> Use in the P4P game on the Kunsthaus
--> Purchase additional "P4P" tokens with credit card (even if it is fraudulent it does not matter much when used in the game)
--> Additionally it should be possible to purchase Ether (Is it possible to use an escrow as fraud protection in case of credit card purchases?)
Users without a wallet - looking for a desktop version:
--> Include Metamask to Chrome (able to handle ERC20 token?) or install a desktop wallet and run it as a separate application interacting with Chrome
--> Show balance of P4P token on website and play game on the Kunsthaus
--> Purchase additional "P4P" tokens with credit card (even if it is fraudulent it does not matter much when used in the game)
(Metamask limited to Chrome, unclear if ERC20 works with Metamask, separate application can not be everywhere installed)
For later integration Shapeshift - API:

Easy change beween currencies as a service.
