2. I find that FriendlyPay is pretty much useless compared to the standard mobile-friendly web version since you don't seem to be able to send payments with it.
You can send funds from FriendlyPay

How so? On mine (iPhone version) all it does is:

1. Generates a QR code for scanning
2. Allows me to add additional wallets
3. Allows me to export the wallets
4. Allows me to share the wallet

I can't figure out how to send a payment to a btc address and I am unable to copy my btc payment address for pasting into another action. Am I missing something?

1. @kangasbros: Didn't you used to be able to generate new receive address within the same EasyWallet? I seem to remember reading that somewhere.

Easywallet generates automatically new addresses as you use them, eg receive something to them. However when transaction is made between two easywallets, transaction is instant and fee-free and no real bitcoin transaction is made, so no need for a new address.


Excellent. So here's the trick question  Wink : Does it remember the old addresses? A situation may arise where I've already cycled through for a new address and a friend pays me at the previous address.

Two things:

1. @kangasbros: Didn't you used to be able to generate new receive address within the same EasyWallet? I seem to remember reading that somewhere.
2. I find that FriendlyPay is pretty much useless compared to the standard mobile-friendly web version since you don't seem to be able to send payments with it.

Nevertheless, I like InstaWallet because it's been around for a while and I like EasyWallet for the better features.

@kangasbros:

I have to say I really like EasyWallet.org. I love the features and I hope you have much success with it.  Smiley

Yes Bitcoin is prepared. However I don't think the exchanges are prepared since any kind of capital controls will severely restrict their operations. As a community I think we should be doing more to encourage person to person exchanges.

+1 Yes, develop your personal trading networks now.

Hmm...isn't this why many folks got into bitcoin in the first place? To get away from these stupid currencies and the strings attached? Just sayin'.

More reason to develop your own independent network of trusted trading partners so you can stay "off exchange".

In light of the suggestions in this thread I asked the author to re-write this post from the consumer standpoint and here is what he came up with:

How to set up your own bitcoin trading network, protect your privacy and save exchange fees
http://tinyurl.com/d2zzeh4

Problem: The large, centralized bitcoin exchange services are not private (most are now requesting detailed personal information to satisfy Anti-Money Laundering regulations). It also can take time to open and fund an account and the transaction fees can add up. Not to mention, these centralized exchanges are vulnerable to targeted attack by cyber-criminals and governments.

Solution: Set up your own bitcoin trading network

Here’s how you do it:

Essentially you want to cultivate your own personal network of trusted trading partners. Make a market in bitcoin among your social network. Put the word out that you are the “go to guy” to buy or sell bitcoin. Build your “little black book” of trading partners that you can contact whenever you need to increase or decrease your bitcoin holdings.

Build your reputation as a trusted trader (Bitcoin-OTC, Forum Reputations, BTCnearme.com). Ask every trading partner to think of you first when they need to buy or sell. Point out the privacy and money-saving advantages of staying “off exchange”. Don’t charge an exchange fee.

The goals are to:

1. Help others in your personal community easily move in and out of bitcoin

2. Ensure yourself a reliable source of buyers and sellers

3. Facilitate the easy exchange between currencies which helps remove friction in the bitcoin economy

4. Avoid exchange fees

5. Preserve privacy

6. Reduce risk of attack from predators

Ideally we may someday arrive at the point where everyone is an exchanger and the process of exchanging bitcoin will be as easy as asking someone to “break a twenty”.

I think the point of this article is to make a market for yourself, not to run a business.

Well yeah, maybe the goals are a little different. OK, it is great to have ideals (eg. nonexistant exchange fees), but who would do some real work, such as running an cash exchange without reward?

The thing is, to improve bitcoin cash liquidity, you need more than few hippies doing cash trading with bitcoins. You need people dedicated to running cash exchanges. And by marketing cash exchanges as a business, they could catch on. A cool way to create a little additional income or something.

BTCNearme.com seems great, but I would add couple of little features:

- send email directly from the site to sellers/buyers
- allow listing your offer/amount with bitcoin-otc style (or some easier way?), eg. "{{ mtgoxlast }} * 0.95"

The optimal process for buying would be:

- look up on the list, find someone pretty near and with decent price, contact using form included on the web page
- make your offer, and wait for contact. Email is not shown on the page, you are first contacted using the form, and then you can continue with email.

Yes, there is the business profit approach and then there is the personal profit approach. I profit by not having to pay exchange fees and by having a steady market of buyers and sellers. I like your ideas for BTCnearme.com. If I knew how to program I would try to implement some of these. The basic idea is sound. It connects you with local traders and then you can build a relationship and trade directly in the future without having to go through the site. The idea behind the article, I believe, is to build long term trusted networks.

Yes, the point I think is to simply build a large network of people you can trade with on a regular basis. I've been doing this myself and I make trades even when I don't have to because I want a ready market of buyers and sellers coming to me so that I always have a way to buy or sell without fees.

How and Why You Should Set Up Your Own P2P Bitcoin Currency Exchange

Problem: Centralized exchanges are vulnerable to attack and/or regulation by existing power structures.

Solution: Decentralize the exchange process.

Here’s how you do it:

Essentially you want to cultivate your own personal network of trusted trading partners. Make a market in bitcoin among your social network. Put the word out that you are the “go to guy” to buy or sell bitcoin. Build your “little black book” of trading partners that you can contact whenever you need to increase or decrease your bitcoin holdings.

When a customer selects "bitcoin to email" the screen should automatically change from this:



To this:



Currently, it is only changed AFTER the customer starts entering data and then it asks for a different data set.

Also, "Email address or mobile number" should be changed to "Destination email address or mobile number"

And lastly, did you do away with the "notification email address" or is that entered somewhere else now?

BTW, great job!

Maybe put the "go" button first so you don't have to scroll down to find it. Maybe slightly bigger too (not as big as the giant green button you had before - but green is still a good color):



Will need to look at a few other design changes on that quote page too so this might not happen straight away.

Thanks for the feedback

Excellent! Eliminating the need to scroll down in order to find the "go" button would be nice because it is not currently intuitive (or easy) for the uninitiated to figure out what to do next.
