Bitcoin Forum

Hi All,

I've been reading this forums for a while, but haven't had a reason to post yet.
I didn't realise I wouldn't be able to post for a while as a newbie, so I'm looking for your help.

This last week or so I've been working my butt off to put together this site.
http://www.bitcointextmessage.com/

The idea is the site will notify you of changes in the bitcoin price via text message.

I'm starting small. The alerts will be sent if the bitcoin price hits a simple  threshold, but will expand this service based on user feedback. Hopefully to do things like % increase in the hour etc..

How can you help?

Help me get the word out there about the site.

I'm at a stage now where I've got a mostly working product, and I want people to start using it so I can fix all the bugs and improve on it.

I really want to get the word out there. I think this would be particularly handy for people in the economics speculation board, but wherever else you guys can promote it on site and off would be appreciated.

If you can help me, I'll give you 20 free credits on the site, or send you 0.03 BTC.

I don't need too many users yet, so this offer is only valid for the first 5 people who legitimately help, or anyone who is a big big help.
Just post back on here what you did.


FYI it's setup so the first 20 users get 5 free credits on the site, and the next 50, 3 credits.

I can't promise the site will be stable yet, but with your help it'll get there.

I PM you  :) che-che-check it out

Your site should offer a description of how you are charged for messages, how many credits you can purchase for a bitcoin, etc.. all before having us sign up.

This.  At first glance, it looks completely free.

I'm willing to help you :)

Yeah... I'd be willing to help get the word out but you HAVE to spell out price/charge RIGHT on the front page or I'm out.

Thanks Guys!

Great idea. You're 100% right!

I'll update the site to include a pricing / how it works page.

Just FYI basically you pay around 10c in BTC for 1 credit on the site. 1 credit gives you 1 SMS. Currently the first 20 users get 5 free credits. The next 30 get 2.

Will post back when I've added the page!

Ill mention it on my blog if you like?
It usually gets ~100 views a day

Another thought is... you should really add an option for... If the price of Bitcoins gets above XXX$
Your big customer base would seem to be those who speculate so the up option would seem to be necessary too.

Gold/silver electronics ext. Go wild

Ok sure that'd be great!

Let me know what you want BTC or credits.

I'll mention it in chat on Seals With Clubs bitcoin poker room... over 200 logged in atm and they are RABID about keeping up with the Mt.Gox prices.
I could be 'persuaded' to mention it a few times per hour in Seals chat.... let me know by pm if you're interested.

Ill take BTC please. Is there anything in particular you want me to include in the post?

Just put a description of the site, how it sends you SMS based on the bitcoin price, and a picture maybe.

Oh yeah, and let them know that new users are getting bonus free credits atm.

Let me know your address to send the coins.

Ok all.

Just thought I'd update you, as promised I added a link which explains the pricing on the front page
