Abstract
A ticket for managing cryptocurrency. The ticket incorporates a redeeming code in combination with a loading code for activating the redeeming code. At the same time, however, the loading code also prohibits access to the underlying redeeming code, thereby preventing use. Therefore, in order to access the redeeming code and redeem the ticket of cryptocurrency, the loading code is inherently destroyed by removal. Thus, the ticket is no longer practically able to be re-loaded and is thus, single-use, thereby aiding in user understanding and management of cryptocurrency.
Claims9
A system for single-use management of information, the system comprising:
- a handheld ticket for tangible manipulation by a first user, the handheld ticket comprising:
- a substrate;
- at least one non-machine readable redeeming code printed on the substrate for accessing the information;
- and
- a machine readable loading code covering the at least one non-machine readable redeeming code, wherein the machine readable loading code is for associating the information with the non-machine readable redeeming code,
- wherein access to the at least one non-machine readable redeeming code is prohibited by one of the machine readable loading code and another covering;
- a first electronic device comprising:
- an interface screen;
- a first non-transitory memory;
- and
- a first processor coupled to the first non-transitory memory and configured to read instructions from the first non-transitory memory to cause the first processor to:
- access the non-machine readable redeeming code for sending upon marking of the handheld ticket by removal of one of the loading code and the other covering;
- send the non-machine readable redeeming code to a second electronic device;
- and
- the second electronic device of a second user, the second electronic device comprising:
- a second non-transitory memory;
- and
- a second processor coupled to the second non-transitory memory and configured to read instructions from the second non-transitory memory to cause the second processor to:
- receive the non-machine readable redeeming code from the first electronic device for redemption;
- and
- redeem the non-machine readable redeeming code.
A single-use cryptocurrency method comprising:
- printing at least one non-machine readable redeeming code on a given side of a substrate for cryptocurrency management by a user;
- adhering a public loading code layer with a machine-readable loading code over the at least one non-machine readable redeeming code to prohibit access thereto;
- electronically activating the non-machine readable redeeming code with a particular set amount of cryptocurrency to convert the substrate to a single-use cryptocurrency ticket;
- removing, by a first user, the loading code layer for marking the single-use cryptocurrency ticket and to sufficiently expose the at least one non-machine-readable code;
- selecting, by the first user, the exposed non-machine readable code;
- electronically sending, by the first user at a first location, the selected non-machine readable redeeming code to a second user at another location;
- and
- redeeming of the selected non-machine readable redeeming code by the second user after the marking of the single-use cryptocurrency ticket.
