I know that HN is skeptical towards cryptocurrencies, but I'm sure some of you have experience with it.<p>I want to take payments in crypto on my app.
The requirements are as follows:
- Low fees
- Very popular
- High number of transactions
- High transaction volume<p>I am no crypto expert by no means.
A friend of mine suggested Ethereum.
Is that the only reasonable choice?
Use something like Coinbase Commerce and abstract away the need to choose one and just build on top of it<p><a href="https://commerce.coinbase.com/" rel="nofollow">https://commerce.coinbase.com/</a>
Bitcoin and Ethereum are obviously the two most popular but their fees are often high. Some of the more useable cryptocurrencies for transactions are Nano, Bitcoin Cash and Monero.<p>Those are just some examples - my point is that what’s popular and what’s a good technical choice are two different things.<p>If you’re integrating this into an app, include at least a couple of different cryptocurrencies.
