Disclaimer Crypto assets are not legal tender and may be used to settle a payment only if the person receiving the payment agrees. The price of crypto assets may fluctuate due to changes in the balance of supply and demand and other factors, which may result in losses. Fees and other charges may apply to crypto asset and related transactions. For details on fees and other charges, see “Fees and Taxes” on our website. To engage in over-the-counter crypto asset derivative transactions, you must provide a margin deposit. For details on the required margin deposit, its calculation method, the applicable margin rate, and other margin-related information, see “What is bitFlyer Crypto CFD?” on our website. Over-the-counter crypto asset derivative transactions let you trade amounts exceeding your margin deposit with a small amount of funds. However, rapid price fluctuations of crypto assets and other factors may cause losses exceeding your margin deposit within a short period. In over-the-counter crypto asset derivative transactions, factors such as sudden price movements or the execution of a loss-cut may result in a trade being executed at a price or under conditions different from those you anticipated at the time of your order, or may result in a trade not being executed at all. Before trading, be sure to thoroughly review our pre-contract disclosure documents and related materials.

WariCopy turns a restaurant or bar bill into a message you can paste into any chat app. Amounts are shown in Japanese yen (¥). The app was made for splitting izakaya and restaurant bills in Japan and does not convert to other currencies. WHAT YOU CAN DO RIGHT AWAY (no purchase needed) - Create one round and enter the total and the number of people (+/- buttons, or type a number, up to 99). - See what each person pays. Rounding starts at ¥1 and rounds up; you can switch the unit to ¥1, ¥10, ¥100 or ¥500 and the direction to up, down or nearest. - Build the "Simple" message and copy it with the Copy button. - Give the event a name and a date. The name can stay empty. - Start a new event whenever you want. THE MESSAGE IT WRITES (Simple, ¥4,000 for 4 people) Sep 11 Welcome party Each: ¥1,000 Please send your share. Total ¥4,000 · 4 people WHAT THE ONE-TIME PURCHASE ADDS (there is no monthly charge) - Set a different amount per person - amount, Group, name, Look and a short note for each person. You can also pick the Place and the Layout, and name the round. - Add a 2nd and 3rd round - before the purchase you keep one round. Later rounds go into the same message. - Choose or write the message - Polite and Emoji, or write your own. Due date, payment method, how rounds are named and the word for "Each" can be changed too. - Open past events in History - events you made before the purchase open as well. - Keep photos with each event - as many as you like. THE PIXEL SCENE The top of the screen is a pixel-art place seen from the upper right. Add a person and someone runs in and sits down. There are 7 places, 14 layouts in all and 16 different looks for the people. The app picks the layout for you; choosing it yourself is part of the purchase. ON THIS DEVICE There is no account to create. What you enter stays on this iPhone. The app copies the message to the clipboard and never sends it. Languages: Japanese, English, German, French, Korean, Simplified Chinese. Questions and bug reports are welcome on the support page.
