question: 'What is eCash?', | |||||
answer: ( | |||||
<p> | |||||
<strong>eCash</strong> is a cryptocurrency that’s designed to be | |||||
used as electronic cash. Just like the invention of emails made | |||||
it possible to send direct messages online,{' '} | |||||
<strong>eCash</strong> makes it possible to send money directly | |||||
to other people online. This includes being able to use{' '} | |||||
<strong>eCash</strong> to pay for goods and services. | |||||
</p> | |||||
), | |||||
}, | |||||
{ | |||||
question: "What's the difference between eCash and Bitcoin ABC?", | |||||
answer: ( | |||||
<p> | |||||
<strong>eCash</strong> is a cryptocurrency, whereas Bitcoin ABC | |||||
is the software businesses use to interact with and maintain the{' '} | |||||
<strong>eCash </strong>network. The team behind the Bitcoin ABC | |||||
software also operates under the same name. | |||||

question: 'Why is eCash listed as BCHA on some exchanges?', | |||||
answer: ( | |||||
<p> | |||||
<strong>eCash</strong> was briefly known as Bitcoin Cash ABC | |||||
(BCHA). The <strong>eCash</strong> branding came into effect on | |||||
July 1, 2021. Exchanges are strongly encouraged to update their | |||||
older listings accordingly. You may still see{' '} | |||||
<strong>eCash</strong> listed as BCHA on some exchanges if they | |||||
haven't yet made the switch. | |||||
</p> | |||||
), | |||||
}, | |||||
{ | |||||
question: 'What can I use eCash for?', | |||||
answer: ( | |||||
<p> | |||||
You can use <strong>eCash</strong> to send and receive payments | |||||
without the need for a bank account. It’s available in every | |||||
country, and you can use it to send and receive cross-border | |||||
payments anywhere in the world. | |||||
</p> | |||||
), | |||||
}, | |||||
{ | |||||
question: | |||||
'I have coins on the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) network. How do I retrieve my eCash?', | |||||
answer: ( | |||||
<p> | |||||
Simply download the latest Electrum ABC release and import your | |||||
old Bitcoin Cash wallet:{' '} | |||||

}, | |||||
{ | |||||
question: 'How do I get eCash?', | |||||
answer: ( | |||||
<p> | |||||
Since <strong>eCash</strong> transactions go directly between | |||||
you and whoever you’re paying or getting paid by, you don’t need | |||||
a bank account to own it. Instead, you just need an electronic | |||||
wallet. Once you have a wallet, you can get{' '} | |||||
<strong>eCash</strong> by buying it on a cryptocurrency exchange | |||||
and then sending it to your wallet. Other people can also send{' '} | |||||
<strong>eCash</strong> to your wallet. | |||||
</p> | |||||
), | |||||
}, | |||||
{ | |||||
question: 'What is the base unit of eCash?', | |||||
answer: ( | |||||
<p> | |||||
<strong>eCash</strong> uses ”bits” which make it easy to send | |||||
small payments because you no longer have to handle unwieldy | |||||
decimal places. For instance, instead of sending 0.00001000 | |||||
bitcoins (which was the base unit used by BCHA), you’ll simply | |||||
send 10 bits! | |||||
</p> | |||||
), | |||||
}, | |||||
{ | |||||
question: 'Where did eCash come from?', | |||||
answer: ( | |||||
<p> | |||||
On November 15, 2020, the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) blockchain split | |||||
into two chains. One of those chains was called BCHA for a time. | |||||
This chain was what eventually became <strong>eCash</strong>. | |||||

question: 'How do I protect myself from scammers?', | |||||
answer: ( | |||||
<p> | |||||
The exponential growth in crypto has unfortunately led to | |||||
similar growth in scams. Here are some common ones to watch out | |||||
for. | |||||
<br /> | |||||
<br /> | |||||
<span>Email Phishing</span> | |||||
<br /> | |||||
Some scammers will send you an email impersonating a member of | |||||
an official team and ask for money, a 12-word wallet seed, or a | |||||
private key. Official team members will never send you an | |||||
unsolicited email. For tech support, we will never ask for your | |||||
wallet seed or private key. Never share your private key or your | |||||
wallet seed with anyone. | |||||
<br /> | |||||
<br /> | |||||
<span>URL Phishing</span> | |||||
<br /> | |||||
Scammers may send you a link to a website that looks like an | |||||
official crypto website but does not have the same URL. You may | |||||
think you are sending funds to your own wallet, for example, but | |||||
are in fact sending them to a cloned page that is not your | |||||
wallet. Always make sure the URL in your browser URL bar is | |||||
correct. Always confirm a scanned QR code address matches what | |||||
you expected. | |||||
<br /> | |||||
<br /> | |||||
<span>Fake wallets</span> | |||||
<br /> | |||||
Always verify the SHA256 hash when you are downloading an | |||||
official cryptocurrency wallet. | |||||
</p> | |||||

{ | |||||
question: 'Will XEC be burned to decrease supply?', | |||||
answer: ( | |||||
<p> | |||||
No. We think XEC is valuable, and therefore we will not burn | |||||
any. | |||||
<br /> | |||||
<br /> | |||||
It is also important to realize that eCash is different from | |||||
other new tokens where the founding teams often hold a large | |||||
proportion of the total supply. In those other coins, the large | |||||
amount of coins that the team holds is still waiting to be | |||||
released into the market, causing future inflation. XEC, on the | |||||
other hand, is already about{' '} | |||||
<CustomLink href="https://ecash.supply/">90% issued</CustomLink> | |||||
, and the dev team holds only a small amount relative to total | |||||
supply. This means that new supply of XEC into the market will | |||||
continue to be very limited. | |||||
</p> | |||||
), | |||||
}, | |||||
{ | |||||
question: 'What is the contract address?', | |||||
answer: ( | |||||
<p> | |||||
XEC is not an ERC-20 token, it is its own blockchain similar to | |||||
Bitcoin (BTC). | |||||
<br /> | |||||
<br /> | |||||
There is a "Wrapped XEC" token available on the | |||||
Binance Smart Chain, with{' '} | |||||
<CustomLink href="https://github.com/binance-chain/bep20-issue-mirror-stats/blob/master/bep20-issue-mirror-stats.csv"> | |||||
contract address 0x0Ef2e7602adD1733Bfdb17aC3094d0421B502cA3 | |||||
</CustomLink> | |||||
. Users should recognize that holding this BEP-20 token, or | |||||
similar "wrapped XEC" products, has custodial risk as | |||||
you have to trust that the custodian (in this case Binance) will | |||||
hold the full reserves of native XEC safely. For this reason, we | |||||
recommend that users hold their coins as real native XEC, in a | |||||
wallet where they control the keys. | |||||
<br /> | |||||
<br /> | |||||
To hold native XEC yourself, you can{' '} | |||||
<CustomLink href="wallets.html"> | |||||
use a supporting wallet | |||||
</CustomLink> | |||||
. Write down the "seed phrase" for your wallet and | |||||
store that in a safe place. This is usually 12 words. The 12 | |||||
words contain enough information to restore the private keys of | |||||
the wallet in case you need to recover them in the future. | |||||
</p> | |||||
), | |||||
}, | |||||
{ | |||||
question: 'What is the supply of eCash?', | |||||
answer: ( | |||||
<p> | |||||
<strong>eCash</strong> has the same fixed supply as bitcoin. The | |||||
default base unit of <strong>eCash</strong> has 2 decimal places | |||||
(100 satoshis). The default base unit of bitcoin (BTC) has 8 | |||||
decimal places (100,000,000 satoshis). | |||||
<br /> | |||||
<br /> | |||||
90% of all the <strong>eCash</strong> that will ever exist has | |||||
already been mined. The inflation rate for{' '} | |||||
<strong>eCash</strong> is already low (less than 2% as of 2021), | |||||
and will decrease to zero. | |||||
</p> | |||||
), | |||||
}, | |||||
{ | |||||
question: 'Is eCash using the AVAX blockchain?', | |||||
answer: ( | |||||
<p> | |||||
No, <strong>eCash </strong>is its own blockchain.{' '} | |||||
<strong>eCash</strong>'s Avalanche Consensus code is being | |||||
built completely independently by the Bitcoin ABC team. This is | |||||
important as it puts <strong>eCash</strong> in a technology | |||||
leadership role, rather than having to rely on the innovation of | |||||
others. | |||||
