Title: Feature Request
Post by: austin_outland on July 24, 2014, 11:49:29 PM
I'm a noob. Did not know where to put this suggestion feature and/or idea for the this forum.
First idea is add or direct me to a stickied thread for suggested feature and/or idea.
Second idea is add link blockchain info to the profile's bitcoin address, like so:

Website:   
Current Status:   https://bitcointalk.org/Themes/custom1/images/useron.gif Online
Bitcoin address:   15syp6mtPPqGAourRxgTJqnYyeAKHH6yiQ (https://blockchain.info/address/15syp6mtPPqGAourRxgTJqnYyeAKHH6yiQ)


This is useful for me, maybe for you as well.

I think a lot of people want to copy/paste users' bitcoin addresses so they can send funds when applicable. Your idea would also be endorsing a specific company as there are many block explores.

Would be nice, wouldn't take any time to change, add a simple href tag. Replying to the post above mine, blockchain.info is a specific company, but I haven't used any other blockchain. Maybe a bitcoin:15syp6mtPPqGAourRxgTJqnYyeAKHH6yiQ link would be nice also.

bitcoin: prefix indicates a protocol or something?  I think that's interesting.  I guess the idea would be that you set your browser to prefer what it wants to do with bitcoin: links kinda like mailto: links or something?

the "bitcoin" prefix makes it so whatever your default wallet program will open and start creating a TX to that address, you just need to specify the amount and enter your PW to send.

Once you installed the qt program (and probably other ones) bitcoin: automatically starts the program and inserts the address into the pay to field, making it easy to send. I think blockchain has a feature where you can set bitcoin: to go to your blockchain wallet.

Yes it is exactly like a mailto: link
