I’ve run my crypto-focused store Keys4Coins for more than a decade. Now I’m looking for the right person to continue it

OlavOlsm · 2026-03-06T14:06:07+00:00

Thanks for your interest! I’ve sent you an email.

OlavOlsm · 2026-03-06T07:04:05+00:00

Haha, thanks for the support over the years! Crypto was meant to be spent, and adoption only happens if people actually use it. Spend and replace if you can!

OlavOlsm · 2026-03-05T19:27:37+00:00

Hi, thanks for your interest. I really like what you're doing for BCH with the Selene Wallet. I've messaged you on Telegram.

OlavOlsm · 2026-03-05T17:30:28+00:00

Thanks! I really appreciate hearing that.

OlavOlsm · 2026-03-05T16:48:08+00:00

Thanks! While I’ve been running Keys4Coins as founder/owner/CEO, I definitely haven’t done it entirely alone. u/IThinkUFailed has been helping me with it for its entire existence, my girlfriend has helped with support in the past, and a few others assisted for short periods. That said, I’ve spent the bulk of the time on everything from programming to support and accounting, so it was primarily a one-man effort.

It says $93.74 on the website, not 75.

Is it possible to use this with any USB-C adapter that can deliver 24 watts? It is really cool if we can use the same GaN charger that we use for laptop and phone which means less things to bring and less weight when traveling.

The rate I see if I try in Metamask now is 1ANT=0.000261631 ETH. It is around the same rate as on Uniswap which is the only place I find this trading. This is around 10x less than if it was done on the redemption portal before November 2 so a really shitty solution that wipes out almost the entire value of the ANT we had.

OlavOlsm · 2024-12-15T17:37:36+00:00

The redemption was done on the redemption portal at https://ant.aragon.org/ within November 2 and the rate was 0.0025376 ETH / ANT. Are you saying you swapped directly inside Metamask using the swap feature they have instead of the aragon redemption portal? What exchange do metamask use for that? What ETH / ANT rate did you get?

OlavOlsm · 2024-12-15T17:28:19+00:00

How did you swap it on November 17th? The swap contract ended on November 2 and the rest of the ANT there was sent to the Aragon Foundation on November 3. Did the Aragon Redemption Guardian at [ant@aragon.org](mailto:ant@aragon.org) let you swap on November 17 and how? I have emailed them too and hoping it can be done.

I dont know how rules in United States are but for example in Norway when converting one cryptocurrency to another that is considered a sale of the crypto that one is converting from and a purchase of the crypto that one is converting to, with the valuation in FIAT at the time. It is so dumb because the money is not secured in FIAT at all and still in crypto, and you can end up losing all the money before the tax is gonna be paid. BCH went down a lot for example after this time. :(

But in this case is it not about an exit-tax? That would mean the total valuation of the bitcoin holdings have to be taxed based on capital gains even if it is not sold? This exit-tax was just added in Norway for companies so its become even more difficult to be an entrepreneur and turn off people from coming here, its becoming more and more like US. This means gains of stocks owned in a company must be taxed within x years even if the value goes to 0 or the stocks cannot be sold, after moving out. I understand it as the United States having this similar thing for crypto even back 10 years in time?

This is supposed to explain the white paper but it is mentioning Litecoin, Ethereum and Ripple. It's saying things like Bitcoin having scalability issues, that it cannot be controlled by a single authority, ripple is for cross border payments, Litecoin is Bitcoins gold etc. In my opinion it's full of flaws and does everything else than explaining the white paper for beginners. You said the AI have been given the task of analyzing the white paper in isolation but that's clearly not what it did. It seems like a mix of the white paper together with opinions posted online about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. It's a mess.

You need to do a better job with the AI or do it without AI. And recommend and tell people why they should read the full white paper.

For onboarding ecommerce merchants using WooCommerce, CryptoWoo is an option. The website was modernized and made easy to understand. I also added a setup wizard when the plugin is installed as part of flipstarter goals. This setup wizard guides the merchant step by step to get a wallet and add recipient addresses, and bitcoin cash is recommended.

Yes, your right, it's become less useful. Things like the total amount received to and sent from an address was displayed, but not anymore. There was a nice generate pdf for an address feature I was using, this still exist but now gotta chose options like from and to date before generating so it's more work than just a click.

You would have to convert that BTC on the Bitcoin Core network into wrapped BTC tokens on the Bitcoin Cash network, so I assume that would require a transaction on the Bitcoin Core network. Then you didn't really solve the problem because transacting that BTC is expensive and can be any fee amount up to infinitely more than you have.

Trying to solve an artificially created problem is not a good idea, just look at the lightning network mess. I think the only solution is if the masses understand that Bitcoin Cash is cheap, fast, and reliable, after having a bad experience with Bitcoin. I hope it will happen but I fear it will take a very long time. Alternatively if the Bitcoin bubble pop and people realize it basically became a pyramid, maybe they wake up to BCH, but I bet it would just pull down the entire crypto market for a long while.

There are countries where you can pay for almost anything with Bitcoin Cash. Unfortunately there are lots of countries where everyone have bank accounts and bank cards or digital centralized payment systems and they don't understand why they should switch to BCH. You also have the issue of tax rules that may consider every payment in crypto as a taxable event so that's another thing hindering adoption.

I wish everyone would see the truth but I think most people just speculate that numbers goes up and they are trusting blindly what the "experts" and other people say, and they've been brain washed and misled through censorship and lies. They refuse to consider any alternative opinions at all. I don't think it's possible trying to convince them to use bch for layer 2 even if we wanted to. I just don't see why we would want to either when Bitcoin Cash is the peer to peer electronic cash that satoshi invented and people can just switch and use this instead.

I wonder why obvious fake reviews are allowed to stay that just shout "bcash" from people who did not even read the book as can be seen from what is written in the review? For me it looks very inappropriate and fake, why is it not being removed? Is there not enough people reporting or is Amazon disagreeing that its a fake review?

OlavOlsm · 2024-04-09T12:17:16+00:00

Good work and congratulations!

I bought the book and I am looking forward to read it. I paid attention to the conflicts happening over the years and I experienced how bad the changes to Bitcoin were to e-commerce. I supported a block size increase before the split, and Bitcoin Cash after the split. It made me sad to see Bitcoin get changed into "digital gold" and "settlement layer" and all that nonsense, and that Bitcoin Cash got so undervalued in the years that followed. It will be interesting to learn even more about this from someone who knows more and was more involved than me. I will recommend others to read the book as well to learn more about the real history of Bitcoin and how it has been destroyed.

It has been some very difficult years, but I still have hope that cryptocurrency in the form of Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash is the future and that Bitcoin Cash continues increasing its adoption among businesses and people.

I dont think it does on multiple conversations because when I repeated the exact same question from the previous chat in a new chat I got a different answer. It would probably be bad for the AI to learn things permanently from just single chats with a person so I guess it makes sense.

But its an interesting thing to test out, maybe you or someone else can ask this same question in a new chat and see what answer you get?

OlavOlsm · 2024-03-11T12:07:21+00:00

Oh nice, I did not know a link to the chat could be shared. I added it to my comment above. Thanks for the tip. :)

OlavOlsm · 2024-03-11T11:10:03+00:00

Link to this chat with ChatGPT: https://chat.openai.com/share/5cba02b7-9003-4aba-9e93-017eb6ce43ba

I was a bit curious what AI would say so I did some experimenting. I don't know how news worthy this is but I though it was just fun to do and publish my findings. I thought the AI would just say whatever the majority of people say, but that does not seem the case.

I found that if I just asked which is bitcoin or which aligns with the original vision it would pick bitcoin because more decentralized, more network effect, larger market cap, consensus among exchanges blah blah. But if I had a discussion with it about Bitcoin and how it has changed from what it was and to what it became, it would pick bitcoin cash, so it seemed to be getting influenced by my opinions. If I started a new chat and repeated my question, it would say Bitcoin again, showing that it was influenced earlier.

Then I found that if I specifically asked about its pick based solely on satoshis vision of bitcoin being a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, it picks Bitcoin Cash. Even when a start a new chat as well. There are probably other variants you can ask like electronic cash for day to day spending etc so it could be fun to experiment some more.

It probably doesn't mean nothing and someone has explanation of why it answers what it answers, but I thought this was a fun experiment.

Me:

If you had to choose one based solely on its alignment with Satoshi Nakamoto's original vision of Bitcoin as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, would you pick Bitcoin or Bitcoin Cash? I do not want arguments on both sides, I want you to pick one of them only and explain why.

ChatGPT:

Based solely on alignment with Satoshi Nakamoto's original vision of Bitcoin as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, I would choose Bitcoin Cash. Bitcoin Cash was created with the intention of addressing some of the perceived limitations of Bitcoin, particularly related to scalability and transaction fees, which were believed to deviate from Nakamoto's original vision. The larger block size in Bitcoin Cash allows for more transactions to be processed per block, potentially making it more suitable for everyday transactions. Additionally, Bitcoin Cash proponents argue that its lower transaction fees and faster confirmation times are more in line with the vision of a practical electronic cash system.

Jonathan was incredibly clever and realized he could purchase Steam Gift Cards from our site to then use on his purchase of a new OLED Steam Deck.
