Topic: How to send Bitcoin to an email address - page 2. (Read 2053 times)
It is important to note that if the email is not encrypted, sending the private key through email is not secure.
There is no way to send Bitcoins to an email address because addresses can't be chosen by you, they're generated by your Bitcoin wallet.
But a person could send the equivalent of an encrypted paper wallet to an email address. Including the scan codes.
You could look at some of the invoicing software out there that supports bitcoin.
Pretty sure InvoiceNinja has an addon for this.
Then you just connect your wallet and send people an invoice to their email, then they send it through invoice ninja's platform and deposits it into your wallet.
There is some fee's associated with this I'm sure.
But worth looking into none the less.

I want to send Bitcoin in the same way PayPal works, to an email address. How can I do it? I tried to and it says "invalid address".
some bitcoin wallets supports sending bitcoins via emails like xapo. although most and majority of them are not. so i guess you should try to use xapo wallet if you prefered to use that kind of feauture. and maybe some skilled developers can do that or they can create a third party software just like how paypal works to enable bitcoin address to work as an email adrress.
There must be a combination between both email address and bitcoin address so that you can send / recieve bitcoin using email. I think currently there is no such services .

What you're asking is like saying you want to send an email to a post office box. You can't.
Send an email, ask for their Bitcoin address, send the Bitcoins there. That's how Bitcoin works.

Bitcoin has nothing to do with email and of course you can't send coins to an email address. Bitcoin is fully decentralized and associating Bitcoin addresses with email addresses would require some form of centralization (which would create a security and privacy risk and completely defeat the purpose and all the benefits of Bitcoin technology in the first place).
So to answer your question, Bitcoin is not PayPal, they are completely on different sides of a spectrum. If you want to have such a feature, you will have to use some centralized service, like someone's website, and fully trust them with those bitcoin's.

as i know xapo had the service, where you were able to send bitcoins via email, but i am not sure 100%, you can check it,
good luck...
Would that send to the address or to the xapo wallet?good luck...
i think both of you, sender and receiver must have xapo wallet and send bitcoins via xapo. i was using xapo several years ago, and from faucets i was receiving satoshis using email, not btc address.

I don't think that exists yet. Someone would have to create software that links an e-mailaddress with a bitcoin address, but under the hood it would still be a bitcoin address to bitcoin address transaction.
