ziftrCOIN Now Accepting Dollars for Presale Cryptocurrency
New Hampshire-based cryptocurrency startup ziftrCOIN today announced that it is accepting US dollars in the form of personal checks for its tokens for the remainder of the ziftrCOIN presale, which runs until Jan. 23, or sooner if the coins run out.
"We think this move makes perfect sense since ziftrCOINs are meant to onboard the next 10 million cryptocurrency users, many of whom have never actually used cryptocurrency until now," said Bob Wilkins, CEO of ziftrCOIN. "By giving people the opportunity to buy ziftrCOINs with US dollars instead of Bitcoins if they so choose, we're simplifying the purchase process for millions of people who are currently unfamiliar with cryptocurrency but interested in starting to use it as a method of payment."
ziftrCOINs will still be available in exchange for Bitcoins, but presale participants will have the option of sending a check for orders of $250 or more. As of press time, nearly $675,000 of ziftrCOINs have been purchased.
The money raised during the ziftrCOIN presale will help Ziftr, the company behind ziftrCOIN, fund its goal of bringing cryptocurrency into the mainstream for both consumers and retailers. To accomplish this goal, Ziftr has developed a suite of tools and applications designed to integrate with Bitcoin, ziftrCOIN, Litecoin, Dogecoin and other popular altcoins. These include ziftrPAY, a secure API that enables retailers to accept cryptocurrency and credit card payments; ziftrWALLET, a multicoin digital wallet; and ziftrSHOP, a worldwide online marketplace where consumers will be able to conduct transactions using credit cards or cryptocurrency.
During the ziftrCOIN presale, participants can buy ziftrCOINs at a low rate and earn rewards ranging from a limited-edition cold storage coin to 5 percent bonus ziftrCOINs. All purchased ziftrCOINs will become available for use in February 2015. Then, in late 2015, Ziftr will give away 300 million ziftrCOINs (a maximum of 100 ziftrCOINs to each individual) so that consumers who aren't familiar with cryptocurrency can become comfortable with it as a method of payment. Each ziftrCOIN will have a minimum redemption value of $1 when used within Ziftr's retailer network, functioning similarly to a coupon.
