How to buy and store dagcoins

Just like how you keep all your bank cards and cash in your wallet/purse. Cryptocurrencies need a safe place to be kept too. Therefore, the first thing you need to do before buying any dagcoins is to get somewhere safe to store them. Because Dagcoin is a digital currency they need to be stored in a secure online place. This place is called the DagWallet. It is a virtual wallet that you can use with your phone, tablet or PC. It can be downloaded for free and used on any machine that uses Mac OS, Android, Windows or Linux. In addition, iPhone users can use the webwallet to store and use their dags.

This means that whatever device you have and wherever you are, you can always use dags to buy things. You can use your phone at the supermarket, your tablet at a local café or your PC at home. The possibilities are endless. Wherever you are, your DagWallet is always with you.

And the great thing is, you can buy them in whatever regular or cryptocurrency you normally use.

Merchant Finder

There are two big questions that hold back so many people from using cryptocurrencies: “I don’t know where I can use them to buy things?” and “Will I be able to get all of the things I need?”. That is why the merchant finder was created. This website does exactly what the name says.

On the merchant finder, you can search for businesses by city/area. Enabling you to find all the companies in your local area that accept Dagcoin. You can also search by category, there are over 20 categories such as Entertainment, Health & Beauty and Electronics & Photo that allow you to further refine your search.

It is great for businesses too. Accepting dagcoins makes your business visible to a growing community of 200,000 potential new customers and it doesn’t stop there. Other businesses can see you too.
