Payment archives

A payment archive is a .kas or .tuwe file. TuweZip compresses the files first, then seals that archive. The other person pays in KAS and then extracts.

Plain ZIP, 7z, and tar.gz do not open a wallet and do not call this website.

Compress, then seal

TuweZip packs the selected files into an inner archive, then seals that archive. The inner archive is ZIP by default. You can choose 7z instead. The compress dialog for an ordinary archive does not list a payment format. Use Add a payment archive.

Price

The price is in KAS. You set the rights-owner address and the two shares. The shares are in basis points and add up to 10000. A price that is too low to settle is raised until it can. The miner fee is extra.

When the issue grant is current, the software fee taken from the price is about 0.2 KAS. If the issue service cannot be reached, TuweZip continues this time at about 1 KAS and shows this sentence:

The issue service is unreachable. Continuing this time at about 1 KAS.

Wallet

The wallet stays on this computer. Open it from Tools, Wallet on this computer. TuweZip asks for the wallet password when it needs to sign. This website does not receive that password, and it does not receive the wallet file.

In the free edition, when the current wallet has no unexpired issue grant, TuweZip asks https://zip.tuwe.com for 7 days. That address is this site. You can turn the request off in Settings.

Extracting

The recipient opens the .kas or .tuwe file in TuweZip, pays the price, and extracts. Someone who has already paid extracts again and is not charged again.

A self-extracting payment archive is a different file from a self-extracting ZIP. The payment one carries TuweUnzip so the recipient can pay and extract. Neither one takes an archive password.
