CashRain Payment Done Without Using Mobile Apps

I am happy because of a problem I learn new things.

• My CashRain campaign has been completed. I hope the winners got their CashRain airdrop cents of BCH. I can see a few names in my CashRain dashboard.

• But there were issues while paying the invoiced BCH to CashRain. I was not happy about the problem I faced as a CashRain member!

The problem is that I don't like to use a smartphone to access the Internet and financial systems, including fiat or cryptos. And, CashRain doesn't support automatic payment redirection via any web interface. I immediately raised a question as a short post.

Many of our community friends, including @Duvinca, @Pantera, @TheGuy, @LeonaReed wrote comments and tried to help and enrich me with their experience on CashRain and associated cryptocurrency apps. I am so grateful for their prompt engagement.

I would like to mention @Codename_Chikakiku, who also commented on my earlier article about an error in CashRain payment.

The CashRain interface has no support for web payment.

• I am not fond of using smartphones to access the Internet. I also don't do any financial transactions on the smartphone. So, that is how a problem arose!

When my CashRain campaign "timeout" was over, I was prompted to "CashRain," aka pay the BCH amount I promised to shower to the participants.

• When I clicked the "CashRain" web link, it produced the invoice and showed a QRCode for payment. There is no issue with prompting a QRCode.

I have been conversant with QRCodes for years. I used to create and decode QRCodes since the technique first appeared in the tech arena. GNU/Linux has many command prompt and GUI utilities to create and decode QRCodes on the personal computer.

• The problem is that the QRCode of the CashRain invoice for payment is not producing a universal weblink for making the BCH payment. I send an email to CashRain support. I guess they see emails.

So, my CashRain campaign continued to be shown as "waiting for the payment" for a couple of hours due to insufficient feature in CashRain payment link!

• But it was temporary.

I solved the payment issue using Electron-Cash on my computer.

As I am not a lover of mobile apps, I haven't tried to install any mobile wallet apps.

• I recently started using the Electron-Cash wallet on my GNU/Linux computers.

• So, I have explored the features of the Electron-Cash wallet system on my GNU/Linux computer.

I have found a feature in Electron-Cash for making payments by scanning the QRCode by the camera, from an image, or by seeking the address from a text file.

The "Read QR from screen" feature of Electron-Cash didn't work for me. I may have to learn how to utilize this feature by trial and error.

Another feature reads the payment link from an image or text file.

So, I opted for the feature of Electron-Cash to read the BCH payment link from the image file of the CashRain invoice QRCode. And It worked like a breeze.

• The captured payment showed on my wallet (sorry, I can't show this screenshot for privacy and security reasons).

• I completed my CashRain campaign payment using Electron-Cash from my laptop without using any mobile apps.

Bringing it altogether

I faced a payment issue on my first CashRain campaign.

The CashRain feature didn't redirect to a BCH payment from its invoice.

It was a problem for me for a couple of hours or so.

Community of friends tried to comment on my question, but they believed that a smartphone app was the best option.

I didn't give up and explored options on the Internet, but it couldn't help.

• The solution was inside my computer - the excellent Electron-Cash wallet.

• I searched the payment (send BCH) feature of Electron-Cash and found a solution.

I opted for the feature of Electron-Cash to read the BCH payment link from the image file of the CashRain invoice QRCode. And It worked so smoothly.

Postscript

• The day before yesterday, I wrote an article, "If I See an Error, I Get Elated!"

• And yesterday, I faced a problem with CashRain BCH payment using weblink!

I found the solution inside my Electron-Cash wallet and solved the issue of BCH payment on my GNU/Linux laptop.
