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. https://electroncash.org/ **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.**
`Screenshot Source: My screen capture from the Electron-Cash wallet system.` 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.**
`Screenshot Source: My screen capture from the Electron-Cash wallet system.` **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. CashRain campaign payment without using mobile apps. This is how I made the CashRain campaign payment without using any smartphone. My CashRain dashboard shows my completed first CashRain campaign.

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. https://electroncash.org/ 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!" https://read.cash/@Unity/if-i-see-an-error-i-get-elated-ad2d31f7 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. `[Sponsor of this article]`

Congrats sir, I'm glad you manage to distribute cashrains without experiencing any bug, I don't know anything about electronic cash, is it like a non-custodial wallet like bitcoin wallet?
Electron-Cash is a non-custodial BCH wallet developed by a part of the BCH community. It is excellent. It supports all OS and devices. @SolarPhasing kindly mentioned about Electron-Cash wallet to me in a comment more than six months ago.
You can install it on your phone without fear.. :0)
Yes, if I use any BCH wallet on mobile, I will use Electron-Cash.
Reading this has given me a clearer understanding on how the cashrain process works. If were a fan of mobile apps, it would have been easier for you to make the payment with the bitcoin.com wallet. I guess others didn't pass through this stress that you passed
This is NOT at all a stress! This is learning and enjoying the learning curve :) I will AVOID using mobile apps as far as possible.
Thank you very much for the explanation. I also faced some problems while trying to rain money on some people but at the end of the day, I was successful
I suppose you used a mobile wallet app.
This is very interesting information. Just like you, I don't make financial transactions through a smartphone. For security reasons. If there is no way to handle it through a computer, I stay away.
I have so far NOT made any payments using a smartphone app. Maybe, I have to create a universal and indirect way to use many such issues in BCH and crypto transactions. The credit goes to the developers of the Electron-Cash wallet system.
Glad to see it works. And you get it done without using a smartphone. That's cool!
Thanks to the feature-rich Electron-Cash wallet system.
Oh sir what a genius! I also don't like to be failed in techy sector there's always a different approach in the technology, your knowledge over GNU/ Linux and computers gave you the solution. This will to get the solution at any cost is a special trait of many techies. And this post definitely needs to be seen by others as many people like to use web services mostly and I think in future many will shift to it due to data security issues.
The electron-Cash wallet is an excellent development for and by the BCH community.
It's cool Electron Cash works this way. I didn't know that, thanks!
Using the Electron-Cash wallet system is like a breeze. Every BCH adopter should try it, be it a PC or smartphone.
Thanks for sharing this one my friend.☺️
I appreciate your appreciation :)
You're really a man cause you have long patience 😅 haha anyways congrats to your first successful rain :)
A big thank you! I have announced another CashRain today! Join there in my CashRain community.
This is great! You did not give up, instead you found a way to go around it. I had to download the app and fill the wallet to do it! 😊
Electron-Cash is an excellent development that must be praised. Good projects always inspire me. A good product can encourage many users.
