Bitcoin Forum

Just a slight input just for your use as well...
If you carry a keychain or necklace often, try getting a usb drive and use a portable bitcoin client...
I made a client and put it on my necklace and it's totally pimp... Like a little golden wallet hanging from my neck ;D

Though keep it up with the site... If you can get something like that working, then you'll really get a good name in Bitcoining... Gl bro! =D

Hey everyone,

I constantly switch between many different computers and never have complete access to my wallet. So, the past few weeks I've been working on a new project: an online, secure eWallet. The website is located at: http://bit-bank.org, and is currently in beta status so I'd like a bit more input before going live.

This service enables users to deposit, withdraw and send BitCoins online. These BitCoins are accessible from any internet-capable device by visiting the website, and may be withdrawn to any BitCoin address or another Bit-Bank account (which is instantaneous).

Furthurmore, users are given a unique URL such as http://bit-bank.org/user/seeARMS (for my own wallet :) ), which displays your username and public BitCoin address. You can give this URL out to friends and family to allow them to deposit BitCoins directly into your online account.

In the near future I will be implementing functionality such as a feature-packed API to allow developers to query users for account balances, etc, as well as a merchant toolset to allow merchants to easily sell goods and services online without hassle. Hopefully this will spark more mainstream interest in BitCoins.

To learn more about what we offer, visit: http://bit-bank.org.

The core functionality is working flawlessly, however not everything (most likely appearance-wise) may be working 100%. Any input on security / appearance / anything is appreciated. Also, I installed an SSL certificate, just gotta restart Apache. Will get it done tomorrow.

Give it a try, let me know what you think.

Isn't this what mybitcoin.com is doing already? or is it a bit different?

I haven't used mybitcoin extensively but I don't believe they offer things such as a unique URL for every user.
Regardless, more than one Bitcoin Bank can exist happily. Competition is good. :)

Indeed--I stated that simply because I'm interested in those types of services. That is indeed what mybitcoin provides for you. The 'merchant tools' section of that site has all of those tools. My main complaint with the site (I only use it because there is no alternative I've found yet) is that it is laid out poorly and the Shopping Cart API is somewhat difficult to implement, using wordpress at least.

Granted--I haven't spent much time on messing with it, but it would be nice if it were easier to use. I think a HUGE plus would be if there was an ability to access the 'bank' on a cellphone via the net or an app. Being able to transfer the bitcoins on-the-go would be a great help to my endeavors at least, I'm sure many people feel similarly. I'll be checking up on this thread to see how it goes, good luck!

A minimal fee of 0.01 BTC gets sent to Bit-Bank to allow the continued use of our services. Other than that, our services are entirely free.

So your service is completely free, except for the fees? :D :D

I'd suggest that if you wish to maintain credibility and actually gain some customers, you cease using the words 'secure' until you really know that for sure. Just saying that becuase you want it to be true is only going to hurt you. And your not just hurting your own venture, your also adding to view that Bitcoins themselves aren't secure, are a scam, etc etc.

Also, I believe in most countries around the worlds it's illegal to use the word 'bank' in a business name.

You aren't secure. at all.Click here to give me 0.05 BTC! (http://pastehtml.com/view/aypr2ka2y.html)

very nice work here

The registration form only works if you open the top slider on the index page.

Maybe you want to fix that ;)

Really? Where did you try registering on? The header is the exact same for every page so it should work. I'll take a look at it.
