Abstract
In an era where digital currencies are increasingly preferred over traditional fiat, Qiao aims to facilitate the seamless conversion of USD to Bitcoin, with a twist. The definition of Qiao (桥) is "bridge", which effectively describes what the program is used for. Qiao is a web application engineered to act as a medium between traditional and digital economies. It is designed to automate the conversion of USD to Bitcoin, using a commonly used payment method. Users will be presented with several mystery boxes that are available to purchase. Upon selecting a mystery box, users are shown the odds of the boxes and the possible rewards there are. There are several boxes to choose from, varying from low to high risk. Once a box is selected and a deposit is made and a crypto address is provided, the mystery box will choose an output by choosing a random number according to the client and server seed. After the output is chosen, the user will be paid out via Bitcoin with the reward that was chosen.
