There is a Twitter account with hardly any followers which I use to announce a show if/when I see it. Far from perfect but similar to the above: https://twitter.com/#!/Cam4BTC

Very far from perfect indeed. Twitter discloses whom I am following and while I guess you wouldn't mind this network effect, I somehow doubt that porn related stuff is easy to promote like that.

RSS-Feed is easy to implement although I know most people wouldn't use an RSS feed. (Actually technically I love RSS as subscriptions are managed by the protocol and nobody can subscribe me to another million of feeds but I don't use it myself Sad )

Sometimes people suggest if there is high inflation, just buy bitcoin. This would not work as you can only buy bitcoins in countries where there are bitcoins. remittance is the *only* way to get bitcoins to countries with high inflation.

It would be nice to have email notifications when a show is happening Smiley

not going to happen prior to verified accounts. else the leaked emails will soon all be receiving newsletters.

RSS feed maybe?

You really need to start thinking outside the existing payment models (which exist due to limitations of credit cards).
Any wallet which starts allowing the wallet provide to send money to services (pull vs push) is unlikely to be very popular.

prepaid is likely a better concept then subscription.


i.e. current price is say 1 BTC = x days of service.   Lets say it is 10 days.  I can start using the service as low as 0.1 BTC deposited.  The site converts BTC into days (or hits, or kb, or credits, or whatevers) based on the current rate.  If I login and my service is exhausted I get notified.  If my service is low I get warned. 

You are totally right. This is what I would want as a customer. As a business man though I want customers that pay monthly even when they only continue to like but not to use my service or when they are just too lazy to cancel the subscription.
I am not suggesting to give control over the amount to the receiver of payment but as a customer I should be able to define recurring payments. As a less evil scenario I want to donate 1$ per month to the Faucet/Wikileaks/… until I change my mind rather than a fixed amount now.

I see it quite unlikely that in case of global adoption politicians would want their salary to registered bitcoin addresses. Imagine what politicians would look like if their actions would suddenly become transparent! No I don't share the OP's concerns.
1687  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Subscription payments with bitcoin? on: June 11, 2012, 02:43:23 AM
Hi

subscriptions where I pay per month are very common. Is there any wallet that allows me to define subscription payments?

I see no solution so far and several obstacles on the way:
* volatility, so a price agreed on would change every month
* timing, so a client would have to determin a price at the time the payment is due and process it in a timely manner ruling out desktop clients that are offline most of the time
* encrypted wallets would ask its user to confirm each payment

All these issues would be easiest to be solved in a hosted wallet.

I am just implementing subscriptions for my android app and would like to offer bitcoins as a payment option (more to have fun hacking it than to make extra money) but I realized that subscriptions are particularly bad in bitcoin.

Any thoughts on that?
1688  Economy / Services / Re: Bitcoin Camming Site on: June 10, 2012, 07:47:57 PM
If you offer alternate payments, this could work but then you would get more involved with things than you maybe want to. "hey, you just sold CP" if you know what I mean.

You should link to ways to buy bitcoin though.

Problem is not *your* phone getting hacked but some bitcoin price widget that is installed on millions of phones turn into a bitcoin steal widget sending all the money from all those phones home.

Not sure if this was addressed before but if I get payed per MB I host, each such server would need a different key to encrypt the data as else I could register 12000 servers with one actual server, mimic to provide redundancy but serve all from the same disc. Those that pay for 12 copies would end up with 11 copies on my "cluster" paying me 11x the money.
Why couldn't the client encrypt the data before sending it?  Why does each server need to encrypt it?

Because ... if each server is allowed to hand out the exact same bytes, the client can not tell 2 IPs pointing to the same disk from 2 distinct servers opening the door for said scammer that claims to do all the redundancy for you while he only has one server but 12000 accounts.

I got strange messages. Do I have to worry?

Today I got 6 messages from bitmit. Have I been scammed? The messages all linked to order 355 and raised hope I can cash out BTC that I finally received but my balance is -0.009 or so.
Hicup in the system?

I would love to:
1. Be able to edit / remove a trade that I have opened

Editing! is most important in most things that I can enter in this shitty site. Sorry to call it shitty. I see potential but you failed to advertise it as "hey i need alpha testers". Don't go public without warning your users like that. I copied the Note of another user and forgot to delete his mail and phone number from it. Now I'm stuck not being able to fix that, delete this trade, delete my account!?!? WTF? Even trading with him to make the trade disappear does not work for a bug.

edit: it's trade 47. please remove the contact stuff or the whole #47.

I didnt want everyone having my facebook details either so I deleted the bitcoinary app untill I can choose to only share it with the people I am trading with Smiley

I think I remember I granted access, but at https://www.facebook.com/bookmarks/apps it is not listed!? Do I have to block it? What's its name?

In your "account settings" there should be  a link to  "applications" and you can see which ones have access.

Deep link should work also: http://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=applications (although it seams bitcoinary nuked itself so I can't check if it works to remove the pic.)

Ok now I linked my diverse accounts but how do I register my other 4 prepaid phones and my other 4 email addresses to add extra trust? I also would like to add my 150 facebook accounts that I bought cheap last year and the twitter accounts. Actually I happen to have access to 6.5 million linkedin accounts I'd like to add Smiley

Ok, seriously, these trust thingies are nice and well integrated but I saw I was logged in with my January-2012 twitter account while I have also a 2009(?) account. How can I change it.
Also why not link the facebook account openly when you already use the facebook hosted profile pic that via tineye would lead to the facebook account even if self-hosted without the facebook-id plain open in the image source?

Should I be thankful you did not disclose my twitter and email like you disclosed my facebook id or is disclosing these just not yet implemented?

Ok, great, now that I tested you and found you don't treat my privacy with the due respect, I would like to delete my facebook connection and as this does not work I would like to delete my account. Great, even that does not work. Maybe there is some undocumented way to do that? Hmm …

I want a service where I can disclose a set of information only to my direct trading partners upon request but your site discloses them to even google crawlers.

The website looks terrific, and the concept is excellent as well, but it won't let me register.

Says "Something went wrong" after hitting Create an Account.

Same here. That's no fun to try to register Little Bobby Tables when the service doesn't work at all Sad
1698  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Bitcoinary.com - The new smart way to buy and sell Bitcoins. on: June 08, 2012, 11:19:51 PM
how does the site make $?  Is there a fee?

I've not implemented the fees yet. Current thinking is 0.5 - 1% paid by the market maker.

At the moment it's free while I iron out any issues and add the features people are already asking for.



Is 1% a promised max? If your fees exceed 1% I would not bother registering. Actually I just registered but don't get my activation mail.

edit: thinking of it, as long as you don't handle money yourself, I don't see why you should take such a high cut at all. 1% capped at 1$ would seam more reasonable to me. Also I don't see how you would enforce any fees if the deals happen person to person for cash.

1700  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [ANN] LocalBitcoins.com - a location-based bitcoin to cash marketplace on: June 07, 2012, 04:08:35 PM
kind of frustrating, but I'm subbed here. While 2h ago the closest trader was more than 8.000km away, now it's *only* 7.000 Smiley

The map feature takes a long time to develop, and I really want to go to Berlin bitcoiners meeting today, which starts about 1 hour from now.

What was the location you tried to add? Maybe I can quickly add a city database to my app, so that cities/towns can be added without resolving to google database...

Don't rush things. If no Chile location opens in the week after you fixed the bug, pm me and I will add it.

Else: http://localbitcoins.com/cash_exchange_howto reads like you only target small time exchanges. Can you reword it so I can leave the link at every brick and mortar exchange office that I run into pretending to expect them to also exchange BTC? Wink
