Ionomy would do what your after. They have BTC/HBD pair. Trading fees are reasonable and it's simple to make an account

Yeah no worries. No limit that I'm aware of. I've just transferred 3 HBD to my Ionomy wallet to test it, I was curious. Just waiting for it to arrive now, but I don't think there's going to be a problem. There might be a minimum to transfer BTC out of an ionomy wallet, but not sure.

3 HBD to BTC

So I was expecting this. The BTC transaction fees exceed the amount of BTC being transferred. This charge is leveed by the network though, not by Ionomy (I'm sure you know that, but just in case)

So if you want to send ~3 HBD worth of BTC somewhere, you'd need to send about 15 HBD to cover the current BTC network transaction fee

Hope that helps

BTC transaction fees are horrible ..... Let me check if BCH is fine... Thanks for trying it out ☺️

Nope BCH is not supported ... BUSD is better though ... But IDK if bitpay supports busd for all wallets. Trying out this route hive > swap.hive ( in hive engine ) > swap.bch > withdraw BCH . Will let you know if it works

Sorry for the long wait, but i finally made it happen !!! transaction costs are unbelivable too , just something less than 0.01 ... put the bch into my namecheap account and bought the domain too.

Hey no worries. That's great news. That's a bloody good fee too; on to a winner there

So your goal was to register a domain using HBD?

What domain did you get?

Nope. Must have been mentioned in a post recently. Not sure which one. Could of even been one of yours, I guess. But anyway, looks like you're hosting the site using IPFS? That's interesting. I haven't had any luck accessing things through IPFS lately though. Not to put a damper on things...
I get either a 429 error message or the page hangs and never loads... 😑

the ipfs.io gateway is mostly overloaded .... if you get this error with ipfs again just try with a different gateway ... https://ipfs.infura.io works great 🙂
