Earning and Spending¶
GoByte is designed from the ground up to function as digital cash. This documentation discusses how and where GoByte users can manage all of their personal finances using GoByte.
Earning¶
A range of services and businesses are available to convert your wage to and from GoByte as you receive it. It is of course easiest to receive payment from your employer in GoByte directly, however this may not always be an option. PlusBit’s GoByte POS App allows you to invoice and receive payment from any employer, practically anywhere in the world, and have a percentage of your wage immediately converted to GoByte. You can then withdraw your wage to any GoByte wallet for spending or saving.
Spending¶
Merchant Directory¶
GoByte can be spent in hundreds of stores and services both online and in physical locations.
Discover GoByte lists businesses around the world accepting GoByte, sorted by category. It’s easy to add your business to the list, and also features a short introduction for new GoByte users. The site is maintained by GoByte Nation, and you can join the Telegram group here.
Debit Cards¶
Debit cards work by prepaying in GoByte to load the account, then withdrawing cash from an ATM or spending online or anywhere debit/credit cards are supported. The GoByte is either exchanged at the time of purchase or in advance.
The rapidly evolving approach to regulation of cryptocurrencies such as GoByte and instant exchange solutions such as ShapeShift means that availability of debit cards cannot be guaranteed in any or all jurisdictions. Check with the following providers for updates on the availability of GoByte debit cards.
