guide.web3.text,"Bank and trading: the Bank page is read-only and shows cash, rent and the CRC in your Poinbase account. Poinbase's Funds page handles deposits and withdrawals; pick the coin first: CRC can go through the bank account or a wallet, every other coin only through a wallet. Depositing from the bank turns credits into CRC in your Poinbase account; withdrawing to the bank turns CRC back into credits and goes through compliance screening, which looks at the Poinbase account's taint. Withdrawing to a wallet needs a payee address and a few confirmations before it arrives; the gas fee is fixed at the normal tier and taken from the coin sent. A wrong address format or checksum is rejected; a correctly formatted address nobody uses means the coins are gone.¶Trading: PSC stands for Probably Stolen Coin, the coin mined by GPUs and miners. Poinbase spot has two pairs, PSC/CRC and SPARK/CRC, following the coin picked on the chart. Buys and sells are both entered as an amount of the traded coin; the preview shows the quote coin paid or received, the average price includes the fee and the slippage does not.¶The Web3 trade page can swap any two coins, always through CRC: with CRC on one side it uses one pool, otherwise two pools, with two fees and stacked slippage; the preview shows the amount received, the pools crossed and the loss. Stablecoin swaps (CRT or CRA against CRC) use stable pools: a {StableFee:%} fee and almost no slippage near the peg; during a depeg liquidity thins, and in a collapse it is pulled and slippage jumps.§Hardware wallets: on-chain coins sit in PLEDGER hardware wallets, each with its own balances and taint. A wallet is an item: drag it onto the trading terminal to load it. Open it on the terminal's Wallets page; connect and disconnect at the top right of the terminal. Trading on the Web3 page and the shop and mixer on the Gray Net page use the connected wallet; with no wallet or no connection they are view-only and every balance reads 0. Coin-paying customers pay into the connected wallet.¶Payments (shop, mixer, Ponero desk, listing fees) start as an invoice on the terminal; type the payee address on the wallet and hold ✓ to sign. The last two characters of an address are a checksum, so a one-character typo is usually caught; once in a while it happens to be valid and the coins go to an address nobody uses. DEX swaps also need a signature on the wallet.¶Poinbase is a custodial account; deposits are sent from a wallet to Poinbase's deposit address (only PSC, CRC and SPARK; the compliant exchange takes neither the black market's CRT nor the Revolution's CRA, and the wallet blocks sending them to the deposit address) and withdrawals are started on Poinbase's Funds page. The Explorer on the Wallets page looks up transfers by address and shows only transfers that really happened: every movement in and out of your wallets (transfers, DEX swaps and other contract calls, miner payouts, withdrawals, coins others send you); Ponero is a privacy coin and never shows. More hardware wallets are sold by Dr. Jackson; drag one onto the trading terminal to add it, up to {WalletMax}. The shop has cheaper ones. A wallet you no longer want can be destroyed on the Wallets page; its coins are lost for good, and anything sent to its address afterwards is lost too.¶Transfers pay a gas fee: slow, normal or fast, and gas prices rise and fall over roughly a week; when the network is congested gas fees rise and slow transactions may be dropped from the mempool. Check the full address before sending.§Staking: CRA staked in the Revolution pool earns a daily rate that compounds into the stake; withdrawing means requesting first and waiting four days, with no interest while waiting and no way to take it early. CRA is partly collateralized: each CRA is backed by the CRC reserve the Revolution holds and by the balance token SPARK; reserve coverage and the collateral ratio are shown on the staking page. Interest is paid in new uncollateralized CRA, which dilutes reserve coverage, faster the more is staked; when coverage is
