Everyone has a smartphone these days and most of the users want to install mobile apps and games on their smartphones, most preferably quick and easy. We believe that the payment methods, that are now being used to buy these digital services, aren’t really the most proper ones for this simple task.
When
Bitcoin was introduced to the people, we saw it as a huge upgrade for online shopping. Who wouldn’t like to purchase their products fast, easy and most important – cheap? One of the main features that Bitcoin introduced to the markets was the amazingly low transaction fees. Though Bitcoin is the largest and most widely used cryptocurrency worldwide at the moment, we believe that there is demand for even more advanced and faster payment method for purchasing digital products.
Apps are usually available through application distribution platforms, which began appearing in 2008 and are typically operated by the owner of the mobile operating system, such as the Apple App Store, Google Play, Windows Phone Store, and BlackBerry App World.
Some apps are free, while others must be bought. Usually, they are downloaded from the platform to a target device, such as an iPhone, BlackBerry, Android phone or Windows Phone, but sometimes they can be downloaded to laptops or desktop computers. For apps with a price, generally a percentage of 20-30% goes to the distribution provider (such as iTunes), and the rest goes to the producer of the app. The same app can therefore cost the average smartphone user a different price depending on whether they use iPhone, Android, or BlackBerry devices. Consumers have to create accounts to the different distribution platforms and the available payment methods are slow, the transactions have high fees and the accepted payment methods can vary from a shop to another. We believe that the application distribution can be much more simple than it is now.
That’s why we developed
Appcoin.
Appcoin introduces a new 21st century digital payment method for purchasing digital applications with decentralized digital currency online, worldwide.
Just like the name stands for, Appcoin is developed for the usage within growing mobile application markets that have a huge amount of daily transactions. Appcoin targets to the mobile markets and though it’s the only cryptocurrency that is specialized only on application purchases, the markets for Appcoin are incredibly big. These markets include all application models like mobile games, location-based services, market & banking services, tools, review & recommendation services, factory automation etc. According to market research firm Gartner, 102 billion apps will be downloaded in 2013 and they will generate US$26 billion, up 44.4% on 2012′s US$18 billion.
As an open source service, Appcoin is translucent and reliable. Appcoin transactions are blazing fast and highly secured. Every new user and adapter of Appcoins brings even more security into the service and makes it very stable and balanced. Appcoins are produced just like Bitcoins, by devoting the computer hashing power for coin mining.
Appcoin aims to become a viable payment option in the application markets. Appcoin Development team targets to co-operate with application vendors, application developers and application distribution platforms. With the usage of a real digital currency that is developed particularly for online purchases, the consumers and vendors both benefit of the decentralized, fast and low-cost transactions that Appcoin has to offer. Appcoin becomes very viable as an optional payment, attracting especially the generations of the digital era, reaching more potential customers. Also in the near future we will likely see a large amount of people living in the developing countries becoming potential customers for application markets, and who would benefit most of the small transaction fees that Appcoin has to offer. Mobile application transactions are often small and therefore the people with tense economical position will benefit for the low fee cost.
The future payment form of online purchases will likely be the cryptocurrencies that are particularly designed for online shopping. Appcoin brings even more to the table providing a high quality service made by devoted professionals.
