Buying Crypto at Checkout: A bug, or at least an important usability problem #459

A good way for users to discover NIM is through web stores that implement it. But the process of checking out must be very straightforward. In the wallet, you've done an excellent job onboarding new users and allowing them to buy NIM right in the app or from an exchange.

But when checking out using the hub API, the only way to buy crypto is through a small link to nimiq's "exchanges" website.

That "Get NIM" button should open up the exact same "Buy" screen shown in the wallet, not https://www.nimiq.com/exchanges. I personally would prefer that the "Buy" screen opens up in the hub popup, not in a new tab, I think that would make things feel less complex for the user.
