Title: BTC Buy - mobile phone site
Post by: coga on January 04, 2013, 05:40:28 PM
Hi folks,

We at BTC Buy (http://www.btcbuy.info) are now offering access using a mobile site at m.btcbuy.info (http://m.btcbuy.info).

Site is optimized for use on the cellphones. If you have a mobile bitcoin client installed (such as blockchain), you can pay by clicking on bitcoin: link at the end of the ordering process. Hope that simplifies the matters

Awesome.  I know to keep it simple, you exclude the non-essentials.  But could the be an option to paste a GPG key for receiving the e-mails (which contain the refill card's PIN number)?

There's such option on full-size web site, but for mobile site? Are you seriously going to be pasting PGP key from your mobile phone, is there even a reasonably usable PGP email client on mobile devices?

If yes, let me know what are you using, so that I know what to test with

Or if you too a GPG fingerprint I'ld do that instead.   But now that you offer GPG encryption, that's how I prefer to receive my mobile wireless refill code.  And sometimes I will be placing that order from my mobile.   I might not redeem (after decrypting the message) from my mobile, but I'll likely be placing the order using it.

OK, it's not a complicated thing for me to add.

There is an option at my provider to "load" the PIN directly to a device. That would eliminate a need for a higher security, but it would also bring up a privacy concern, 'cuz you will be disclosing your phone # to me. Given that, do you think you woulds still use that option?

You've had the ability to load directly to a mobile # (without the refill code method) and you've been holding out?

I personally tend to prefer the method that protects privacy but simplicity (load directly) trumps privacy concerns for most.

From a mobile, not having to go the refill code route would be preferable and easier for most.  If you can offer that, it probably should be the default even (and refill code as the optional method).
