What is the cost of using TxtZ?

We try to keep the user fees for the platform as low as possible and that's for this reason that we only charge 0.0001 BTCZ fees on SEND command.

Registration and creation of your Wallet, invitations as well as reception messages from funding are not subject to fees. In order not use SMS traffic unnecessarily, some restriction rules are however imposed.

Is this cost fair and sustainable, how can it be known?

We transparently display the amount of SMS sent, the average cost of the platform according to SMS fees worked by the platform and the amount collected by the SEND fees as well as donations.

Any supplement will be redistributed for promotions of TxtZ. The amount fees can therefore be adjusted with 10 days' notice sent to accounts with a balance greater than 0.

Can I buy BitcoinZ directly from TxtZ?

We are planning to start working with telephone operators (locally) in order to be able to exchange telephony credits in BTCZ and vice-versa.

But for now, any exchange in local currency must obligatorily go through an exchanges.
