Title: Bitcoin Embedded Chat
Post by: Come-from-Beyond on September 01, 2012, 09:08:41 PM
Few times I faced the situation when it was necessary to discuss some issues with the community (Bitcoin price fall, MtGox down, etc.) Unfortunatelly, this forum is quite slow-paced for such urgent things. Also there was necessity to talk with one person who didn't use Skype... Well. Let's just jump to TL;DR section:

Bitcoin Embedded Chat

It's a chat that could be embedded (with IFRAME tag) into websites or used as stand-alone page.

To join the chat you need to open a page with the following address:
Code:
http://bitcoinembeddedchat.appspot.com/bec?user=Satoshi+Nakamoto&password=12345&email=sn@bitcoin.org&channel=Bitcoin

Replace "Satoshi+Nakamoto" with your name (spaces should be replaced with "+").
Replace "12345" with a password (not necessary).
Replace "sn@bitcoin.org" with your e-mail (not necessary, used only first time, use it if you need password recovery service).
Replace "Bitcoin" with appropriate channel name (not necessary, use long and unique names to setup a secret channel).

Some examples:

Code:
http://bitcoinembeddedchat.appspot.com/bec?user=Satoshi+Nakamoto
Join the default channel without a password.

Code:
http://bitcoinembeddedchat.appspot.com/bec?user=Satoshi+Nakamoto&password=12345
Join the default channel with a password.

Code:
http://bitcoinembeddedchat.appspot.com/bec?user=Satoshi+Nakamoto&password=12345&channel=mtgox
Join MtGox-related channel with a password.

NB: Don't forget to add the chat into Favorites or write down the password, otherwise you won't be able to login with your name again.


PS: I lock this thread to keep it clean for subsequent announcements. Send me PMs with bugs and desired features, please.
