What's the idea ?

All entrepreneurs already have their ideas.. you don't need to hide yours.. you just need to be faster than anyone at implementing it.


+1

Ideas are timeless and cheap. Execution is time-sensitive and expensive.

The more people you pitch your idea to, the more you'll refine the idea. Building a successful business is more about team and execution than the idea or even the technology.

+1 Bureau de la Bitcoin - Embassies are for states and a lot of us bitcoin anarchists are frankly offended. Wink

Ideas for usage:

1. Musee de la bitcoin! Any physical objects of historical significance to buy up and display here? First caus coin? First hardware wallet? etc...

2. Daily "bitcoin for noobs" class. Make a room into a presentation that runs several times a day teaching new coiners everything they need to know... Not just a movie though, have workstations and some activities like downloading a wallet to their own phone and so forth...

3. A Bitcoin ATM, of course! Preferably facing the street like a bank would do it.

4. More startup space than just the top floor... I'd say half the 2nd floor too, as long as the 2nd floor is big enough for a solid-sized meetup group.

5. A cybercafe/starbucks that ONLY takes bitcoin.


Bon chance!
 

Well said. +1 million points for putting in an ATM. That would be awesome. I travel to Montreal on business infrequently and would love to stop by!

For a simple free-market perspective (very thought provoking if you support big government; in other words you'll realize why you are wrong) try Economics in One Lesson.

I second this recommendation!

REALLY nice work. This looks fantastic. It seems you've really thought this through quite well.

Check out the PHP library called Guzzle. It's a nice wrapper for RESTful type APIs.

http://guzzlephp.org/

I wrote a wrapper for BTC-e REST API using Guzzle and Symfony framework. Even if you're not using Symfony, the client.xml service description can still be used with Guzzle to execute requests against BTC-e.

The BTC-e API actually has a few really annoying bugs and limitations (no market orders, missing the trade order ID if the order was executed immediately, etc....). I haven't made the code public on my GitHub yet because it's embedded with an app. PM if you'd like me to send you the source and I can share as well as explain the API bugs I encountered and how I worked around them. Hopefully this is helpful.

Links to a few potentially useful pastebins:
  - guzzle client.xml: http://pastebin.com/sgZNU8ew
  - guzzle Client class to handle BTC-e authentication: http://pastebin.com/DzkfN3Cy
  - guzzle Command class to handle BTC-e authentication: http://pastebin.com/nGmYCCjr


That is a lot of extra files and calls for a very simple function.


You could write a one-off script to call CURL manually and end up with a lot of repetitious code (violation of "DRY"). Guzzle library implements the command pattern to abstract away all the boilerplate stuff so that all you need to do is describe the web service, rather than write code for every API method the exchange supports. You get a lot of stuff for free using guzzle such as validation of API parameters.

If you plan to integrate with other exchanges at some point or even just to implement more of BTC-e's API methods, I highly suggest wrapping them with Guzzle.

13  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Buy Bitcoin with sms/phone - Need help/advice on: April 17, 2013, 09:24:15 PM
Hi,

Long story short im looking for a reliable service to buy bitcoin with sms/phone to my customers. I run 2 gaming cafees and we sell ingame currencies and what not to our users. quite a few customers has recently requested this kinda service.

sofar ive found these:

Dialcoin.com = out of service.
Textcoin.co.uk = no coins for a long time.
Bitcoin-instant.com = no coins for a long time.
blockchain.info = looks promising but only 1 purchase a month and no info on amount still waiting answers from them.
btc-direct.fr = doesnt look trustworty and no info on min max if they have stock or not.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks
DH



Old post; if you're still interested in this, I think I can help. I founded http://www.bitcoinbymobile.com. I can provide you an API to drop directly into your site (so users never leave your site) to allow them to purchase Bitcoin using their mobile phone instantly (total time < 90 seconds). Hit me up if this is still of interest to you!

Are their any plans to release a version for Linux?
15  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: MtGox to BTC-E (How do you think this software works?) on: April 04, 2013, 10:11:41 PM
Even worse, MtGox is discontinuing USD coupon code withdrawals soon. My inter-exchange arbitrage dreams have been dashed to pieces.... not to mention the skyrocketing price of Bitcoin has made the inter-exchange transfer cost prohibitive.

I notice the API Key management section has an option for "withdrawal".

Is there any plan to enable Bitcoin withdrawal via the REST API soon? If this is possible, I can't seem to find it in the REST API docs. This would be a super useful and allow me to, for example, build an app to send payments directly from my BTC-E account without having to transfer to a separate wallet provider.
18  Economy / Goods / Re: Plastic Bitcoin Wallet Card on: December 04, 2012, 05:20:30 AM
Greetings, I have recently begun working to design a plastic bitcoin wallet, similar to an ID badge or credit card to create something that works like an offline wallet which can also operate as a funded pre-paid like card as well, depends on the interest.

My idea is to utilize a design like some on this forum with to squares punched out of the card, replaced with a holographic QR Code.  A secondary portion to this is to create a third QR code on a second card, let's call this the "Red" card or "Pass" Card, that would contain bits from the private key that would be missing on the primary card, but when paired one on top the other would create the private key for spending.

I plan to utilize 12 or 30mil plastic cards for this with a design overlay on top.

I'm posting here first to possibly generate interest or get an idea before investing money in such items to sell.  I will update over the week with designs on what I believe to be a good concept of this product.

This is probably out of scope for your first pass, but it would be cool to see an NFC solution as a head-to-head alternative to traditional payment cards. Has their been any talk/work on a BTC NFC standard similar to the QR standard?

I published this a long time ago, but few people seem to use it:
http://pastebin.com/vmRQC7ha

Thanks for posting this! It's the best one I've found so far... I've run about 50 public keys through using PhpUnit through so far and it correctly validated them :-)
20  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Python code for validating bitcoin address on: November 28, 2012, 09:02:58 AM
I too have PHP and Java code for validating and generating Bitcoin addresses that have been tested and known to work.

PHP Example Link: https://github.com/Xenland/Bitcoin-Pseudocode-Client/blob/gh-pages/examples/php/verify_bitcoin_address.php

Java Example Source Link: https://github.com/Xenland/Bitcoin-Pseudocode-Client/blob/gh-pages/examples/java/Commandline%20Generate%20Bitcoin%20Address/src/commandline/CommandLine.java

I Also have an English explanation of how to verify a Bitcoin address (Part of the Bitcoin Pseudocode client project)
http://xenland.github.com/Bitcoin-Pseudocode-Client/verifyaddress.html


Thanks for this contribution! I ran the test fixtures for valid and invalid public keys listed below, with a few of my own known keys added; I got the following result:

There was 1 failure:

1) Lmh\BitcoinTransferBundle\Tests\BitcoinAddressValidatorTest::testInvalid
Test invalid public key '37qgekLpCCHrQuSjvX3fs496FWTGsHFHizjJAs6NPcR47aefnnCWECAhHV6E3g4YN7u7Yuwod5Y' returns 1 error.
Failed asserting that 0 matches expected 1.

/Users/matmar10/Projects/bitcoinbymobile/src/Lmh/BitcoinTransferBundle/Tests/BitcoinAddressValidatorTest.php:69

FAILURES!
Tests: 2, Assertions: 22, Failures: 1.

By the way, your PHP code had an undefined variable throwing an error and also an unused variable; I'll send you a git push request.
