Public cryptographic wallet addresses are long, complicated and difficult to remember.
What if we use logo to tag address, each symbol could be linked to a public addresses and make crypto transactions easier and more user-friendly rather than checking the 40 characters

you should not reuse bitcoin addresses to begin with which means remembering something that you only use once is a silly notion. you have to generate them once, use them once and then move on to the next address.


there aren't enough logos in the world to even cover a tiny fraction of current users online on bitcointalk right now let alone covering all the addresses that are possible. unless by "logo" you mean something like QR code then there is no difference between a QR code and a string since they are both showing the same thing!

the best thing to do is save your wallet address so you should be safe because there are so many wallets hacking so you should keep it safe because all your tiredness is all about it if they get it.

You know, as we are living in this high-tech world, it would be possible to do that. But for me, easy transactions sometimes easy to get hacked. Whereas when you use the usual transaction, it may have had a lot of work but it's safe. It's safe from this untrue world.

Maybe you can do it but right now the amount of logos are so small that it will not even cover a very small portion of the users. The number of users are too high compared to the logos available.

That's a small security feature of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as a whole. People who are holding a significant amount of bitcoins, usually creates new addresses everytime they require to receive money. Complication is good for security of such a valuable asset like bitcoin.


You are proposing to effectively bring down the numbers of bitcoin addresses. A normal bitcoin address consists of 34 characters, so you can understand the kind of permutation and combinations are possible with 34 alpha numeric characters. But with logo, the scope will be drastically reduced. Just to add, we already have qr codes available for bitcoin addresses, which is kind of similar.

The wallet address is a public address meaning there is nothing wrong with not keeping it safe. You should keep safe your private key but the OP is talking about public addresses, clearly. Nevertheless, it will happen in the future this way or the other, believe me, same as IP addresses - they are really rarely used, everybody uses web addresses in the human readable form.

not really. The number of addresses that are in use is very limited (compared to the space of all addresses). So we could label (in a human readable form or a logo or whatever) only some addresses that are being used, still leaving the option to use all other not labeled addresses in their raw form.

I think if we make easy transaction for the investor then it will also increase risk for the investor. This risk may be hacking risk. So i think don’t need transaction easier. At present it is safe for all.

It seems to me that it can be convenient, but I think that it can damage safety of transactions

the OP is not actually trying to offer anything new to bitcoin. he does not understand there is a solution to th OP's empty issue. QR codes solve th issue of lengthy public addresses.

all the OP is actually doing is pretending their is an issue to then offer his logo scheme as a solution. but as others have said there are not enough logo's in the world to cover all possible public addresses, so his scheme has no sustainability.

probably wise if he spent a bit more time learning and find real solutions to real problems rathr than grab the first thing he doesnt understand and then try going on a money grab

QR code is a solution for now, but it is not the solution. You cannot dictate the QR code over a phone to your friend saying "hey mate, send me some bitcoin to ...". I think that as the IP addresses are enriched by another layer of WWW addresses (made possible with the use of DNS layer), we really need another layer over bitcoin addresses too. And no, we don't need a 1-1 mapping to make it possible. Not all IP addresses have the domain name, and not all domain names have the IP, do they?

It shouldn't be logo nor picture based, but rather it should be based on easy to remember and dictate strings (words?).

It is not possible which you are thinking but there are some solutions like if you will write a name to your address then you will be able to identify the address. If you do not want to show your identity and because of that you do not want to write your name at your bitcoin address then you can label that with any random name which you like and to keep your privacy.

I do not think that it is the issue as the users of bitcoin are feeling it much better to use their addresses for the conduct of their transactions and they do not have any complaint that they cannot remember their addresses they only have saved their addresses with themselves and they are happy with that system.

They also do not want an easy way of addresses as they do not want the people can easily know about their addresses as they want to hide their balance from other people for their security.

Bar code is more easy to use, if a wallet is created a bar code or box code should be there to simple be scanned then you just have to put password to complete the transaction, more. Easier that copy paste the address.

If you are not remember the address, just convert it into a QR code.
You should not try to remember it in the first place because bitcoin and other coin address is created not to be remembered.
maybe the paper wallet will help you, it is an address that print out to a paper.
