Title: Shortco.in - Stop trying to remember your addresses
Post by: seventoes on June 04, 2011, 03:11:47 AM
Hey guys,

Just put together a quick and dirty app that acts as a sort of URL shortener for your Bitcoin addresses. I know copy and paste is the normal method, but this is useful for sharing your Bitcoin address outside of cyberspace.

Check it out!

Click for bigger picture

let monitor the total volume of transactions for the adresses you serve, then suddenly refer all payments to your adresses.

lather rinse repeat

I wish I were that clever. This was a weekend Rails project, no malicious intent. I want to see Bitcoin grow, and I think not having to remember your addresses is a small step.

One thing I like about yours compared to the other one is that you can make it output plain text:

Yup! I plan on adding tons of formats eventually too. XML, images, ASCII, anything imaginable.

It's funny your thread title though... I don't know anyone who is currently trying or has ever tried to remember a bitcoin address.
