Title: [ANN] btcPhone - Needs testers
Post by: matt.collier on April 05, 2013, 12:20:19 AM
Hello, btcPhone needs some testers to make a free phone call to a land-line anywhere in the U.S.

Here's the site:  http://phone.bitcoincommons.org

The site is currently operating on testnet (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Testnet).  You will need to configure your bitcoin client to operate on the testnet in order to participate in the testing.  Here is a working testnet faucet (http://testnet.mojocoin.com/) if you need some testnet bitcoin.

During the testing phase, any amount of testnet bitcoin sent to the bitcoin address presented at the top of the web page will give you a 3 minute call credit.  Have you called your mother recently?  The minimum call duration is one minute.

Please post your comments/feedback to this thread or email to: phone AT bitcoincommons.org

You have a little bug.

So i sent the coins to mjG1DgeypYCnBXCg2eeWs8qR4FTRQiVoH6, got the 3 min of credit.

Hit call button without entering a number, was asked to use my mic and it said call connected. Timmer starting ticking and taking away credit.

Might want to code in that will not connect unless a phone number is entered.

Hi nickkilla,

I've put the phone number validation code in place.  Thanks for pointing this out!

Recommend a tor website or at least https for your current site. Otherwise I don't see why anyone would use this over free google voice calls.

Which country is the server running?
