How to send Bitcoin to an email address

[harizen]

I want to send Bitcoin in the same way PayPal works, to an email address. How can I do it? I tried to and it says "invalid address".

Technically, you can't send bitcoin to an email address. Obviously how come and no possibility as there is no connection.

However, there are web exchanges that able you to used email address when sending so that it's way more less hassle. But remember that the transaction was meant only for clients under that same exchanges. Examples are Coinbase, XAPO , Coinbank (not sure). Also our local exchanger here have a feature like that.

What bitcoin wallet are you using? As i remember only xapo wallet and coinbase wallet has the ability to send bitcoin using an email address. If you are using another bitcoin wallet it is impossible to send it . Alternative way to use in sending bitcoin is you will scan the qr code of bitcoin address of the receiver.

I don't think that e-mail is safe

This is impossible.

You can send part of your wallet with bitcoin via email.

Create new email, add your wallet.dat to your message and send.
SENDING wallet.dat via email is NOT SAFETY and you can lost your all bitcoins..
don't make it please.

I don't think it's possible it doesn't work as paypal. You only require to have bitcoin address of the person whom you're trying to send funds as others have said there are some service which send bitcoins to email address I would advice you to learn how bitcoin system works to avoid loss of your bitcoins as it's totally different from paypal good luck

As far as I know is that Blockchain supported to send Bitcoin to an email address or even to a phone number in the early days. With the second version of the Wallet, they removed this feature along with other great security features.

Do you mean Blockchain (the website)? There's a Tutorial from 2014 for this indeed.
But, this isn't really sending Bitcoin as it's designed to be, it's just a third-party that promotes it's website to new users, and the sender can reverse the payment if it doesn't get claimed. It's kinda like sending a Paypal-payment to any email address that doesn't use Paypal yet.

Alternative, if you insist on paying in Bitcoin, just give them a funded paper wallet, in person. But to be honest it's just annoying if someone wants to pay you in a format you're not familiar with. If someone wants to pay me in Skrill for example, I'll politely decline.

Third party in the sense, you have are sending payment to email address with the wallet.dat file right.
If you want to send the bitcoin to the email address that is obviously not safe to send and hackers attack your transaction and steal that amount.

You can find this option in Coinbase, Xapo and etc...
But it says only invalid address bro, unless you added the dat file in the e-mail message.

you have to use American wallet provider Coinbase but than you have to register and login into their website.
For clarification, your bitcoins are not stored locally on your machine, they are stored on the Bitcoin network which means they are also on my computer and on every other peer's computer. The difference is, you have the access to your bitcoins .

Send an email, ask for their Bitcoin address, send the Bitcoins there. That's how Bitcoin works.

[tienigarazz]

I don't think it is possible, the only thing i know to send bitcoin is to ask them for thier bitcoin address, then using that address you can now send him/her a bitcoin. That's what i am doing.

[Olis1000]

I once heard a platform ...I think coinbase or so..do send bitcoin to email address... Am yet to know how that is possible tho....
