Topic: Bitcoin for blind people - page 6. (Read 1287 times)

It was great for the blind people having some opportunity here in crypto but believing that there are difficulties when performing this one unlike if you are just a one-yed person or crippled one. I can't a tool that could help them to function as normal traders or investors. These all possible with the help of other people who can guide them, not by doing it alone.

I don't think that Crypto Currencies like Bitcoin will be suitable to buy necessities like coffee's or milk and for me, it's just waste, because the price of Bitcoin could rise up and soar high and it shouldn't be wasted for buying things that can be bought with fiat in my own opinion.

Well, the real problem for blind people is the Accessibility from a blind person perspective that he could see his Blockchain wallet more clearly and using the screen reader platform that lets you hear the words into audio so you can surely know how to transact and how many Bitcoin you had and so many other option but this is not enough because there are other features that are not really audible for this kind o application including the multiple sending to other Bitcoin address, it is still pretty hard for them to see it clearly,

Well this is the story of Craig McGee a blind that has Mine Bitcoin from his home however it is really not easy being a visual compared but thanks to the Braille project McGee has a chance in seeing more clearly read this ARTICLE and yes maybe this is the same as the IcyWallet SeaBits had mention because this Article is dated from Oct, 25 2017,

So I think there is already a project for the Blind to also engage with Bitcoin transaction without any problem.

I think a new device should be added to Blockchain technology, for all these blind people, where there is a need for any kind of online service, including the message Subject, as I talk about two things - first of all, 1: Crypto currency transactions, 2. Bank through. Transaction
How to make the device now, and how the blind man will deal? Answer: The device will be shaped like a mobile, so that a speaker, a small display, and a button, if the button is slightly larger, it is better to press the blind man's hand. As soon as the device is turned on, the device will tell the blind person through the spreaker that the blind person wants to transact, if the blind person says that he or she is Crypto currency  wants to make a transaction, then Crypto will take the currency stept, so that every step has to be added to that device, as if the blind person is directed to everything, and he hears the blind man say that he will do it, then the device itself. Go there, and the next step is to tell the blind man, the blind man will say his choice, like Addres, Amount, say the device will collect it, then the device will warn Amount what Sen will do if  Say yes, say Amount to hear Amount, Cancel to cancel the order. In many ways, I just give my idea that things would be more beautiful.

Let alone for new innovations like this, facilities and other general services are still not optimal in providing services to people with disabilities. Of course, if there are developers who care about this it will surely give equal opportunities to disabled people to enjoy Crypto world. Although difficult, it does not mean impossible.

Been reading about icywallet for quite some time now and I don't think why there isn't much interest towards the project. Little to almost no assistance for blind people is required to operate the thing, since it uses braille keyboards and audio to assist the visually impaired in operating his/her wallet. The main question that runs through my head though is how would a workaround be possible for reading a long string i.e. address? If, say a 'tag' is used for an address, how would the visually impaired know that it was not rigged in any way?

Check out this project that goes over the wallet part: https://icywallet.com/ with a combination of ADA tools like screen readers they could visit an exchange's website to buy or trade coins. There are guidelines like WCAG here: https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/quickref/ that go over accessibility. I'm unaware of any exchanges are trading platforms that have incorporated this into their offerings, maybe someone else can chime in here.

Great idea however it lacks of something a driver for developers to come up with it. What I mean is the idea comes off too short, it would be that problematic at all because just think if it becomes real then what do you want for blind people to do then? Go out and spend their bitcoin? would not it be better if they have a company with them? I think it be a nice idea for digital wallets to make a sound (custom sound) for every expenditure. If this go real, then everything that revolves bitcoin should adjust too. imo.

even after all these years people that are not blind also cant use bitcoin 100% correct . this evolution takes time to be fit in normal ways first.and after everything get normal and work normal (for example paying a coffe with crypto or buying milk with crypto wallet) then this tech can get upgrade and go to other step to be usable for everyone .first step is to everyone use crypto in all around the world then new project and solutions will come to be useful for blind people also. 

I've been into Bitcoin for quite a few years, and I'm impressed to see how far it has reached in the mainstream world. It's the most widely-adopted cryptocurrency for decentralized payments worldwide without the need for a middleman. In its current state, Bitcoin works wonders for ordinary people like you and me. It's only a matter of putting the right BTC address and the number of coins to send to get started using the Bitcoin blockchain.

However, my concern is how blind people are able to get used to Bitcoin? To my knowledge, wallets (either with a GUI or CLI) don't have "text-to-speech" features to make blind people's lives easier. It'd be great if developers keep blind people in mind to help increase the adoption of the pioneer cryptocurrency in the mainstream world. The only thing I've found is an audiobook of the Bitcoin whitepaper which is a great solution to introduce blind people into the "mechanics" of Bitcoin.

Any thoughts?
