Inspiration
People in poorer countries lack access to the banking system and education about cryptocurrency. Due to a lack of understanding, most would stay away.
Crypto2Share wishes to help by launching this new site that allows cryptocurrency owners to send cryptos as gifts to the poor at the same time educate them about the beauty of cryptocurrency.
It supports over 570 types of cryptocurrencies namely the popular ones like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, Litecoin, Ripple, Dash, Stellar, Tether and even MetisDAO.
Also, according to a recent survey by MagnifyMoney, about 65% of Americans have cryptocurrency on their Christmas wish list this year, where 77% of millennials want it more than any other generation. Crypto2Share also wishes to grant their prayers by letting them receive cryptos.
What it does
This free online service needs no registration and does not require the recipient to own any cryptocurrency wallet prior to receiving the crypto gift. A new secure digital wallet will be generated which lets the sender deliver the coins to the wallet prior to sending. The system will subsequently deliver the wallet containing the crypto to the receiver via secure email.
The email message shall contain sufficient information to educate the recipient on how to use their new wallet and learn about cryptocurrency. It also includes links to education video tutorials about cryptos.
No data is stored on the site throughout the gifting process which means no wallet addresses, private keys, or even email addresses with its content are ever saved in the server. No database is even used. This claim can be verified by auditing the source codes available on GitHub.
How we built it
We used simple but secure PHP and vanilla Javascript programming practices. We don't use JQuery as some claim it's not secure. We host on Inmotion Hosting server that does not keep records of emails that it handles, thus ensuring all emails (containing wallets info) are kept confidential.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Our source codes have already been forked on Github. Yay! Also, Crypto2Share main purpose is to spread the adoption of cryptocurrency as a new means of low-cost and accessible digital payment.
What's next for Crypto2Share
We're so looking forward to Chinese New Year in February 2022 where people are giving red packets. This time, they should be giving cryptocurrency using our site. We also hope NGOs would use our site to give cryptos to the needy.
