Epicbox

Both wallets take part in every transaction, so their messages need a meeting point. An Epicbox server is that meeting point: it holds a payment sent to this wallet until the wallet comes online, and carries the wallet's answer back. The messages are encrypted, and Epicbox cannot spend the coins.

The Epicbox address is the wallet's public key, then @ and the name of its Epicbox server. Other Epic Cash wallets use Epicbox too, and two wallets can use different servers.

Change the server​

  • Desktop: Settings › Transactions › Epicbox.
  • Phone: tap the Epicbox icon on the Wallet tab, or Settings › Privacy & network › Epicbox.

The servers are listed with their state. Pick one and confirm, or type an address to filter the list or add a server. Choosing another server changes the part after @, so give the new address to the people who pay you.

If the server stops answering, or the network you are on blocks it, the wallet says so and offers another server.

Turn Epicbox off​

Epicbox is a switch under Settings › Transactions. Off, the wallet connects to no Epicbox server: no Epicbox payments or invoices, and Receive shows no Epicbox address. Payments sent to the address wait on the server until it is on again.

The Epicbox relay protocol is described on the Epic Cash Developer Hub.
