What is HandCash?

HandCash is a crypto company that builds products and services aimed to jumpstart the Metaverse economy through frictionless payments and persistent digital items embedded in apps, games, websites and virtual worlds. It is best known for its wallet mobile app of the same name. You can find a list of currently available games and apps by clicking on the following link: https://handcash.io/gallery


What can I do with it?

The main feature of HandCash is being able to connect your wallet with all sorts of apps and games. This allows you to seamlessly pay or earn, and collect and trade NFTSs on compatible apps, games, websites and virtual worlds.


How do I get started?

Simply download the app for Android or iPhone and sign up with your email and phone number. Unlike most crypto apps, you won't have to store complicated passwords to access your money - while remaining non-custodial. You can also use HandCash through the web app version.


Advantages

Email Based Login

No need to write down 12 words or install a browser extension. Users can connect their gaming wallets through any browser.


Enhanced Security

We utilize a threshold signatures scheme to secure user transactions. In this system, the private key is distributed across multiple legal entities, each holding a portion of it. These parties collaboratively sign transactions on the user’s behalf, triggered by signed requests using private keys registered individually to each party.

Account

Why am I asked to verify my email?

Your HandCash Account is a combination of two different secret keys held by two independent companies for your convenience. This way you don't have to store them yourself while still retaining exclusive access to your funds. As long as you have access to your email address, you will always be able to access your HandCash account and funds.


Can I change my associated email address?

Yes, you can. Simply go to the Settings section and tap on Personal Data. You will see an option to change your email address from there.


Apps

What does 'Connecting to Apps' mean?

Just like how you can sign up on a lot of websites and apps with your Google or Facebook account, your HandCash account likewise allows you to sign up and log into compatible apps, games and websites. Those apps will then be able to charge money straight from your wallet, so you do not have to manually confirm every payment. The apps will also know where to pay you when you earn money.


How can I build and submit an App?

Go to the Developer portal of our website (https://docs.handcash.io/docs/getting-started) to get started! Integrating payments and NFTs is super easy, with no previous knowledge of Bitcoin or Blockchain required. When you're ready to launch, submit your app for review, and after being approved it'll appear in our Apps & Games section.


Which Apps are compatible with HandCash?

All apps that are compatible with HandCash will appear on our Apps & Games section of our website https://handcash.io/gallery


Deposits

Can I receive other cryptos with HandCash?

Currently, only BSV payments are processed by HandCash. If you send BSV tokens from or to a BTC or BCH address (other flavors of Bitcoin), it may result in the loss of funds.


How can I add more money to my wallet?

You can receive payments from other HandCash users through your user $handle, legacy BSV address or QR code address. Alternatively, you can purchase BSV via any of the services listed here: https://ramps.handcash.io/


Withdrawals

How can I withdraw or cash out?

In order to withdraw funds from your HandCash account to your bank account, you will need to transfer your BSV to an exchange of your choosing and sell it on that exchange. You will then have the option to transfer your fiat funds from the exchange to your bank account. The list of exchanges that currently support BSV can be found by going to the following link: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin-sv/markets/

 

Alternatively, you can also use any of the following services to sell your BSV by clicking on the following link:

Security

How safe is my money in HandCash?

HandCash is a non-custodial cryptocurrency service because we only hold half of your private key, which is insufficient for us to access your wallet without your permission. In other words, your funds are safe just so long as you keep your email address exclusively accessible to you and no one else.


Should I hold my life savings in HandCash?

Although HandCash is a very secure non-custodial wallet, we simply do not hold any banking licenses. Therefore, your money is not covered by insurance. For this reason, we cannot recommend storing more than what you would normally carry in your physical traditional wallet.


Where are my 12 words?

HandCash is Keyless and does not require users to store a traditional Bitcoin 12-word seed phrase thanks to its proprietary system based on Threshold Signatures. This allows us to offer a non-custodial service while making it easier for every user to access their funds without having to safeguard a password.

Crypto

Why is my balance changing all the time?

BSV's value is constantly fluctuating against other crypto tokens via a complex web of market dynamics. For that reason, your balance updates based upon the current selling price of one BSV token.


What can I do with BSV tokens?

The unique thing about HandCash is that it allows people to do something useful with their tokens, as opposed to just trading it for no other purpose apart from making a profit. Connect your wallet to all kinds of apps and games to shop and earn money by competing against other gamers.


Is crypto anonymous?

Although it is very private, nothing you do in crypto is anonymous. We have therefore taken measures to make sure our user’s transactions remain difficult to track so as to maintain user privacy. With that being said, keep in mind that we keep track of all transaction for convenience and security purposes.
