You can sell your bitcoin to us directly and we will transfer the funds to your bank account or via an ATM cash withdrawal: click on ATM in the menu. Alternatively you can transfer your bitcoin to another BitcoinPoint user.

 

14. What is the difference between BitcoinPoint’s in-App wallet and a standard Bitcoin Blockchain wallet?

BitcoinPoint has developed a proprietary in-App wallet solution that allows customers to create sub-accounts of a segregated blockchain account, on a Cold Storage.

This allows us to not charge any fees for Peer-to-Peer transfers, however, transfers to standard Bitcoin Blockchains will incur network fees. 

 

 

15. How to use the Peer-to-Peer transfer functionality?

If you want to transfer funds to another BitcoinPoint user, go to the wallet tab and select Send.

 

You will then directly scan the bitcoin wallet (QR code) or copy past the bitcoin blockchain address or Email address of the BitcoinPoint user you’re transferring the coins to.

 

Once done you will redirected back to the previous page and you will find the history of your transactions

 

16. Is the user able to send Bitcoin to any email address?

You have the ability to transfer bitcoins to any email address linked to an existing BitcoinPoint in-App wallet.

 

If the email address is not linked to an open account, an email invitation will be sent to the recipient, asking them to download the BitcoinPoint App to access the bitcoin.

 

17. Is holding bitcoin safe? Is the BitcoinPoint in-App wallet safe?

All of our in-App Wallets are on a Cold Storage which means that their private keys are not on the internet.

 

That said, poorly secured wallets are typically where the thefts of Bitcoin occur. If someone obtains access to the private key of your standard blockchain wallet(s), all the cryptoassets may be stolen. Like any hot storage solutions, in-App wallets present some risks. For example, if someone accesses your phone and your email account the person could potentially access your BitcoinPoint account and may be able to steal your bitcoin stored on the in-App wallet.

For more security, we recommend you enable the pin code or biometric lock in the settings tab. Unfortunately if someone manages to access your in-App wallet to send bitcoin to a blockchain wallet, we won’t be able to revert the transaction.

 

If your BitcoinPoint in-App wallet exceeds £10,000, we recommend transferring your cryptoassets to a hardware wallet or cold storage solution (such as a Ledger device). 

 

18. How can I earn Bitcoin, Ethereum and GBPT?
What does APY mean?  

By selecting ‘Earn Interest’ in Settings, we will generate weekly interest for the bitcoin, Ethereum and GBPT you hold on the in-App Wallet. APR is the annualised rate, example 0.1% 
Once a week, you would receive [in-App Wallet balance]* 0.001 * 7 /360 extra bitcoins.

These weekly will be paid every Monday after one full week ⏰

Therefore the annual percentage yield (APY) is the effective rate of return on an investment for one year taking into account the effect of compounding interest. So if the APR is 0.1%, the APY will be 0.1%.

Currently, you can get 3% APY on GBPT up to £10,000 of notional 😎 (see T&C for more details)

 

What is the ‘Free Sats’ feature and how does it work?

It’s simple – just click on the ‘Free SATs’ button and you’ll win up to 10,000 Sats! You can use this feature once a week and the winnings will be automatically transferred into your in-app wallet.
Be sure to have app notifications turned on and have completed your account KYC process to participate!

 

 

19. Which bitcoin index are we using?

BitcoinPoint uses a proprietary index developed in-house. This index is an average of the main exchanges in GBP (CoinMarketCap, Google,…)
