I have been working in the Bitcoin Cash Argentina community to promote the adoption of Bitcoin Cash as a medium of exchange. We are focusing mainly in brick and mortar shops, but we have plans to reach more users. We promote the usage of various tools, including Stack Wallet.
Due to problems in the exchange rates caused by local restrictions, we had to develop a custom system to enable users (both customers and merchants) to use the Argentine peso as a reference. The price displayed by most websites is incorrect and not the price a normal user would have to pay to acquire Bitcoin Cash.
The rule is the following: We take the US dollar value in ARS from https://yadio.io/simple.html API and then multiply it by the Bitcoin Cash value in dollars. Essentially:
BCH price (in USD) × USD price (in ARS) = BCH price (in ARS)
I know that adding a custom exchange just for Argentina might be not standard. We try to deal with the restrictions the best that we can, and I hope this change might help in the work we are doing.
