Title: Public bitcoin address book Post by: doof on August 05, 2013, 11:37:02 AM Would it be worth making a public address book to look up peoples btc address via email or mobile?
It would be a simple www.url.com/doof@bitcointalk.org which would return 13y7CJJuap6kuBGycu9rheRtFEJXZ9f25b The addresses only go live once the users confirms via email or txt. Phone address books etc could then interface with it. Or is there no need for such a service?

I keep asking people "whats your btc address". I thought others might get that problem. Anonymity... thought about that. You would only list the address you want to socialize. Anyway, doesn't look like there is a need, so Ill work on other projects :D Title: Re: Public bitcoin address book Post by: jackjack on August 06, 2013, 05:38:16 PM FWIW there's a Bitcoin address field on bitcointalk profiles
And people often put their address in their sig But yeah if you have other projects you may want to prefer them Title: Re: Public bitcoin address book Post by: defaced on August 09, 2013, 04:11:52 PM I think this is a good idea op. I would like to help if we can make this opensource.

I'm implementing payment notifications now and would really like to push for the further development of BIP 0015 (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BIP_0015) in Namecoin, so that a real standard can be implemented in clients. |
