Title: Bitcoin Login/User Management PHP library? Post by: Alex Zee on September 14, 2011, 03:16:07 PM The very first milestone for virtually every bitcoin web service would be a login/user management system. I thought it would be nice to have an open source, "peer-reviewed", off-the-shelf system that you could just drop into your project and be reasonably sure that there are no major screwups there. And we all know how badly this is needed :) Now, is there such a library already? Maybe some other (not-bitcoin-related) off-the-shelf library? (googling for it right now) The problem is that for this library to be easily reviewed it should be small and simple, but yet usable, extensible and flexible to support various types of web services. I'm not even sure such library is feasible... Any ideas? Title: Re: Bitcoin Login/User Management PHP library? Post by: Vod on September 14, 2011, 04:02:27 PM Guildminers uses IPB Forum Software to handle user login and management. It's mature, fully featured and compatible (via cookies) with our frontend - it also allows login via Facebook, Twitter and OpenID.
Of course, the largest open source login system is OpenID (http://openid.net/) but I'm not sure if it has any management system - it would probably need to be tied into your system.

As I understand it (correct me if I am wrong) - every page load requires contacting a third-party server, right? So it is a) slower, b) less reliable, c) less anonymous - for example, I wouldn't use my main google account for any of bitcoin services. Title: Re: Bitcoin Login/User Management PHP library?

So you would like a centralized but anonymous service? Title: Re: Bitcoin Login/User Management PHP library? Post by: Alex Zee on September 14, 2011, 04:50:50 PM So you would like a centralized but anonymous service? I don't want a centralized service for logins :) I want a drop-in PHP library. And it seems to me that OpenID is probably not the best choice for bitcoin services. Title: Re: Bitcoin Login/User Management PHP library?

I wonder, what is it that you need guys? Another bucket shop? A roulette? Or a program to find drugs and CP easier? Maybe another Ponzi scheme... These proved to be popular in all times ;D Title: Re: Bitcoin Login/User Management PHP library? Post by: error on September 15, 2011, 08:41:05 AM Ok, nobody seems to need that.
