Before using the MintChipMail app you must first register using a desktop computer that contains your .p12 certificate. Point your web browser at: http://ws.duzine.com/messenger/
Create your account first. Then upload your remote certificate.
Assuming your device is part of our ad-hoc provisioning profile, you can download the MintChipMail iOS app onto your iOS device by clicking on this link. If you need your device added to the build, please send your UDID to info@duzine.com
Start the app and click the Login button. Input the same email address and password used above. Once authenticated, the app will automatically download your .p12 certificate and prompt you for its password. Once everything is setup and configured, the pose, pay, and balance buttons will be enabled.
This button displays your barcode for scanning. It is how we transmit your identity so others can Pay you. Each time you Pose, we create a unique one-time email address that can be used to transmit they payment (value message) to you for processing.
The Pay button launches our barcode scanner. Point the camera at the Poser's barcode and wait for the app to take you to the payment screen. On the payment screen fill out the amount (in cents, no decimal point) and optionally add a note. Then press the "Make Payment" button. If your remote certificate is properly setup and a network connection is available, your MintChip account will be debited and a value message for the input amount and mintchip id will be created and attached to an email. Optionally add additional information to this message and press send.
Payment processing occurs when the recipient clicks on the MintChipValueMessage.ecn attachment in the email. This will automatically launch the MintChipMail app and submit the value message for verification. Press the Back button to return to the main menu.
This button checks and reports the status of your remote MintChip account.
MintChipMail transmits payment using one-time email addresses. Our servers process these messages and forwards them to the confidential email address associated with your account. This communication channel remains open for 1 week, allowing merchants and consumers to anonymously communicate during this time period. After which the channel will be closed and a new value message must be created to re-establish communication.
In addition to the typical payment scenarios, this mechanism can also be used to establish a pay-to-play situation where "experts" or others are consulted and paid for their advice.
