Title: Bitcoin payment link.
Post by: szuetam on July 10, 2012, 09:17:42 AM
Hey, I'm sure it is somewhere on the forum, but I couldn't find it, maybe you could help me?

I'm looking how to set a payment link on a website. Like I have mailto:surname@domain.com in a A href or Magnet link, just an URI which will allow installed bitcoin client to open and just ask me if I accept payment and amount, like when you click on the mailto mail client opens or if you have set it up gmail webclient opens, so bitcoin could work like that, is there thread about implementation of sth like that? I think it is very important.
As I said I'm sure that there have to be thread about it but Icand find where, I will be glad if someone could redirect me.

Try using this:

OK, great, but is that supported by official bitcoin client?

I don't think so, but the only thing you can do about that is writing the code to support it. It is supported by Multibit and maybe some other clients though.

It's supported also by Armory. But not by official Bitcoin-QT client.

THX, I'm just tracking topic about it in bitcoin-qt it claims it works in linux, and it was working in windows but due to instability it was disabled.
I believe it is very important and probably quite simple to implement feature.
