Here is a 64bits binary for linux if you want to test : http://dl.free.fr/vX39kOI7Y (backup your wallet before. You can't test with an empty wallet, because bitcoin will stop after checking the amount) 1. How to add this to your website 2. You have an email and don't own the domain 1. How to add this to your website Default address for your own domain Create a file named "bitcoin-address.txt" at the root of your domain and remplace 111... chars with your address : Code: {Email address for your own domain Example : mymail1@mydomain.com Create a file named "bitcoin-address-mymail1.txt" at the root of your domain and remplace 111... chars with your bitcoin address : Code: {Example : mymail2@mydomain.com Create a file named "bitcoin-address-mymail2.txt" at the root of your domain and remplace 222... chars with your bitcoin address : Code: {2. You have an email and don't own the domain Example : mypseudo@gmail.com & address 11111111111111111111111111111 Register your email and bitcoin addresses to http://bitcoin-contact.org/?account and set them public. Then, give this url to your contacts : http://bitcoin-contact.org/q/getaddress/mypseudo@gmail.com You can also register a pseudo on bitcoin-contact and use this directly : mypseudo@bitcoin-contact.org Note : you can also set the label to "mypseudo@gmail.com" and people who use "mypseudo@bitcoin-contact.org" will receive a contact like that : - label : mypseudo@gmail.com - address : 11111111111111111111111111111 If you have configured you domain/email address, I can test it and say you if it works. If someone is able to compile a windows version, i'll add it at the top of this thread.

Sending to email addresses is a crucial factor in stealing all of PayPal's "loyal" customers.

- file naming has moved to : Domain owner : /bitcoin-address-domain.json (instead of /bitcoin-address.txt) Users : /bitcoin-address/user.json (instead of /bitcoin-address-user.txt) Title: Re: [How to] Send payments to emails, urls and domains in GUI Post by: ploum on May 14, 2011, 08:17:12 PM Hello,
This is very interesting, please consider the following protocol: http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1859.msg23094 (which allows you to embed a message in your transaction) Also, instead of putting random .txt file at the root of your website, have a look at http://code.google.com/p/webfinger/ which is exactly what you need!

In an extreme case you could use the new /.well-known/ standard, but really this is exactly a use case for XRD/WebFinger. |
