Title: [ANN] Send Bitcoins to e-mail super easily Post by: davout on April 13, 2012, 03:31:42 PM Now available at Paytunia.com send to e-mail feature, definitely the easiest way to introduce someone to Bitcoin !
How it works : - Send Bitcoins to an e-mail address instead of a Bitcoin address, - If the recipient already has a Paytunia account then funds are credited instantly, his Android or iOS app gets notified instantly, - If the e-mail doesn't match a Paytunia account he can : - create one and redeem his funds there, - sign-in to another account and redeem his funds; - provide an arbitrary Bitcoin address to which funds will be sent - Transfers are valid six days, after that it is cancelled, the funds are recredited to the sending account and both parties get an e-mail notification While the transfer is pending redemption it is possible for the sender to cancel it. When this happens both parties get notified. Also we still have a couple invites left if you wish to beta-test our iOS application, the Android one is already available on Google Play ! Try it out for yourself !

I especially like the fact that you don't have to create a Paytunia account to redeem it.

Thanks!Part of the idea behind it is that we think e-mail addresses will quickly become the standard way of sending Bitcoins to hosted wallets, it would be pretty easy to for example to set-up a DNS record per domain that points to Bitcoin address resolution service. That's how it would happen : - I try to send coins to user@somedomain.com - A DNS query for the "BTC" field is fired for somedomain.com - Answer is "bitcoin-resolver.somedomain.com" - A query is made to bitcoin-resolver.somedomain.com requesting an address for "user" - A bitcoin address is returned - Funds are sent through the Bitcoin network - If the DNS record doesn't exist then an e-mail is sent Simple. Seamless. We're working on it ;) Title: Re: [ANN] Send Bitcoins to e-mail super easily Post by: Phinnaeus Gage on April 13, 2012, 04:25:45 PM I can't put my finger on it, but there's something about this site I like.
