Coal Payments VS ShellNewHandler

• Crypto-native payments
  Coal appears to be a crypto or stablecoin-oriented payments product, which can allow faster, borderless transfers with fewer intermediaries than traditional card or bank rails. This is useful for global freelancers, online businesses and web3 teams.
• Potentially lower fees
  Blockchain-based payment tools usually have lower processing and cross-border costs than card networks or wire transfers. Actual fees should be checked on the Coal site.
• Faster settlement
  On-chain payments can settle in minutes rather than days, improving cash flow for merchants and recipients compared with ACH or international wires.
• Fits web3 workflows
  A crypto-focused payments service can integrate more naturally with wallets, DAOs and on-chain businesses than traditional processors, which often restrict or poorly serve those users.
• Modern, lightweight onboarding
  Newer payment startups tend to offer simpler sign-up, a cleaner interface and fewer legacy requirements than established processors. Verify how this holds up in practice.

Possible disadvantages

• Limited track record
  Coal seems to be a relatively new and small product with little public history, few independent reviews and limited evidence of reliability, security audits or long-term viability.
• Crypto volatility and complexity
  Customers and recipients may need to understand wallets, networks, gas fees and token risks. If volatile assets are involved, value can change before conversion, and mistakes such as sending to the wrong address are often irreversible.
• Regulatory and compliance uncertainty
  Crypto payment services face evolving regulation across jurisdictions, including KYC/AML, licensing, tax reporting and possible restrictions, which could affect availability or require extra compliance work.
• Limited fiat and ecosystem integrations
  Compared with Stripe or PayPal, a smaller crypto payment tool may have fewer plugins, payout options, accounting integrations and support for chargebacks, refunds or dispute resolution.
• Sparse public documentation and support
  Smaller startups often have limited documentation, community resources and customer support, which can make troubleshooting and integration harder. Check the site directly, as I can't verify its current details.

• I recently got libreoffice, but now the new option in right click looks like a mess. Can someone help me get rid of them please?

  Use Shell New Handler. Run the portable app and simply untick the items you don't want to appear in your new context menu. Source: about 4 years ago

• This menu should be easy to add/remove programs to... Who is really creating Access Databases from this menu often enough to keep it here? (Not me!) Is there an easy way to edit this?

  I've always used ShellNewHandler for this. It's a really simple portable utility that allows you to remove most of the items from that menu. Tested it out on Windows 11 and it's still compatible. Source: over 5 years ago
