◆ Sending and receiving bit coins
Registration was not completed, but try basic operations such as sending bit coins through the Coinbase application and billing. For this time, we will also install the application on Galaxy S4, and we will send (bit) coins (air) between iPhone 5 and Galaxy S4.

First I installed the Coinbase application on Galaxy S4.


When installation is completed tap "Sign In / Sign Up". Create an account and sign in.


This is the basic screen of the Android version Coinbase application.


Send bit coins from iPhone 5 to Galaxy S4. On the basic screen tap "Send" in the upper left.


Specify the destination mail address (this time, account registration address of Galaxy S4), specify the amount of bit coin you want to send, and tap "Send" at the top right.


Since it does not have a bit coin in the first place, an error will naturally come out.


Next, from iPhone 5, I will request Galaxy S4 to pay a bit coin. Tap "Request".


Specify the billing address mail address, the desired bit coin amount, and tap "Request" in the upper right.


Sending is completed if it feels like this. "PENDING" indicates a state of waiting for payment.


On the other hand, when I looked at the screen of Galaxy S4 which was charged 1 bit coin ... ... I got a charge right away.


By tapping, you can check details of billing details. You can send it by tapping "Send 1.0 to (destination)" button.


I will return to the screen of iPhone 5 again. You can cancel the invoice you sent. Tap invoice.


Tap "Cancel Request".


In this way, the Coinbase application can purchase and sell bit coins using mobile terminals, and can exchange bit coins with simple operations. Also, at Coinbase official website, various "Coinbase payment tools" that can introduce online mail order sites are offered, and it is very useful for publishers who want to incorporate bit coins as a settlement tool. A publisher interested in bit coin payment may consider introducing the Coinbase tool.
