You can always count on our government to establish new laws which will encourage cyber crime.

Seems like this wouldn't be 100% accurate all the time. Seems better to just request the user's address lol. How are you gonna know specifically which house they are at? Wouldn't the location only be an approximation?

Not to mention multi-family dwellings, it can't tell which apartment number, or if you're in an apartment building complex within a street address number range, like 2000-2500 Broadway. I'd say it's only useful as specific as split directional streets like North Broadway vs South Broadway if the customer forgets to put the directional, or gross numerical errors like the customer is at 350 Broadway but they put 3500. Also, you'd have to put in an override for "this is a gift, ship directly to recipient" so the GPS is ignored.

The purpose would be to fill-in most of the address for the user [...] We needed to stick to a strict format because two or more users could write the same address, for different houses in the same street, two or more different ways and it would still lead to the same location. Since we used the data for mapping-out locations on our map, which is also used by our wallet, app, shopping, exchanges and SMS services for authentication, it meant every address must follow a special format [...] Address name, postcode, locality, street, administrative level 1 (up to administrative level 5) country name, ISO code, and longitude & latitude.
As you can see, this is a pritty large amount of data to easily input, edit and get correct, for each user (especially the coordinates) which would obviously cause stressfulness to our users [...] The part which is normally incorrect, as you've pointed out (which is also visible on the script above) is the house number. All the user has to do, after clicking a button, would be to check if the No. Is correct. If it's not, they can simple adjust it (which is also visible if you tried the test) [...]

Since every address or coordinate is processed by Google, it would be as simple as finding an address using their map I.e. it would be able to correct 'typos,' and detect the correct house and No. 99% of the time [...]
The only time our testers had to change their No, was when they used a wireless connection, this meant they simply had to change their house No. to complete the process. This method allowed us to add a 1 or 2 step system (click and check house No.) which would obtain users address components using a strict format that is followed by everyone.

Locations are based on Ip addresses and ip addresses may be different because people use vpn or proxies . How are you guys integrating google maps to track them up accurately ? Well this is a nice idea by the way .

Well Google, kindly collects massive amounts of geodata, physically,  which span over a period of years. With the use of geolocation, we can use the MAC address and siganl, which were all gathered by Google, to accurately locate a user as close as street levels. Normally we were limited to City level when using IP address for tracking, but with the use of MAC address well [...]
In addition, since we're using GPS to determine the location, the results are not impacted on, no matter how the user accesses the website I.e. using proxy or vpn unlike IP-based geolocation methods [...]

It looks like the first signs of the Greek referendum results are out, with 'NO' leading the way. This will surely and indirectly impact Bitcoin, at least in a positive light.

15 pounds? What is that supposed to be? A joke? Please put some reasoning behind your price.

I have placed test adverts with minimal design or effort on sites such as Rediit, Bing and Facebook. They all have varying prices, with some dramatically having less than £15 in budget. On average, they were able to pull 300.935k total reach for £15, which is 20.062k reach per/£ within 2 weeks of launch. Unless your blueprints are able to push those sorts of figures, then there's really no discussion here.

Hi- Thanks,

Do you mean the example is on the "settings" of your platform?


That's correct. Copy, paste and adjust this code to meet your demands. It's all you need.


Download and insert the script /js/helpers/gmaps.min.js to your site

We trailed this idea on one of our tests. It worked out great  Wink

You can find it HERE the code is written using JavaScript I.e. It's open-source [...]

I would be interested to buy one of these, no more than £15 though.

The problem is that we don't have, or mange to find the time to build our own. So having pre-built blueprints, unique to us at point-of-purchase, would really be a helping-hand.

It really wouldn't solve anything. The idea is like taking a small problem and strapping x5 rocket engines on its back, which is about to explode, then realising it for public use.

Why couldn't you just trade with registered and regulated companies with high liquidity?
It sounds unappealing, I understand, but why couldn't you?

In addition, it's good that you can count and record the amount of "scams" which has been committed using bitcoin, could/would you like to compare that to fiat?

438  Economy / Speculation / Re: is another bubble coming? on: June 19, 2015, 08:44:39 AM
I've just watched btc jump from £152 to £158 to £163.40 in a matter of hours. Some have speculated it's the situation in Greece, but the real question is, where will it stop?
Uh, why should it stop? Have you asked UK Govt when they will stop making their £ increasingly irrelevant?

My question is "where will it stop?" not that it should stop. What has the UK Govt have to do with the context of my topic, or the question in general? please try not to go out of context.
You seem to be unaware of the connection between £ and UK Govt.  I thought that would be apparent.  If not, you might try learning the basics before involving yourself in complex stuff like Bitcoin.

Again what has this got to do with the context of my topic? Haven't you got something else better to do, instead of making arguments out of nothing? Hey you seem so angry, it appears as if I'm repeating myself to a big-headed old man with dementia. Why don't you play outside a little bit, I'll throw you a cookie later?
