Legal Answers
2 Questions Answered
Q. Is it illegal to buy commodities in an ecommerce platform using Cryptocurrency?.
A: Yes, you can definitely allow cryptocurrency transactions alongside your credit system! This can attract a wider audience, especially tech-savvy customers.

Allowing users to withdraw credits as cryptocurrency is an interesting concept, but requires careful consideration:

- Volatility: Cryptocurrencies can fluctuate significantly. Users might end up receiving less value than their credits.

- Complexity: Crypto withdrawals involve crypto wallets and transaction fees. This might be unfamiliar to some users.
Q. As to the recording voice and video does The State of Rhode Island require that all party's being recorded be informed?
A: It sounds like you're in a very challenging situation, and I understand wanting to explore all options. Whether you can use the recording in a court case depends on a few factors:

- Rhode Island's Consent Laws: Rhode Island is a "one-party consent" state. This means you can legally record a conversation without the other person's knowledge or permission as long as you are a participant. RIGL § 11-35-21(c)(3).

- Relevance: The recording must be relevant to the specific case you're building (breach of lease, constructive eviction, etc.). Your landlord's statements could potentially help prove a pattern of harassment or that they were wrongfully modifying the lease. However, the terms of the lease and the content of the recording will be controlling as to whether it is relevant or not.

- Authentication: You may need to be able to prove the recording is genuine and unaltered. This could involve having an expert analyze it or providing testimony about when and how it was made.
