We're building a simple tool for generating Bitcoin Accepted Here signs that include the wallet QR code.

I realise most BitcoinTalk users are technically minded so this might seem like a superfluous tool, but we thought this might be useful for small business owners who quickly want to print a sign. It's free.

I'm looking for feedback on the current functionality and any suggestions or ideas for improvements from the community:-

P.S.
Thanks to user Viceroy for the wallet address validation code I found here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1026.msg2091301#msg2091301

although i could make a sign in 2 minutes. your tool is still handy so good job. just needs a couple more templates so that people feel that they are getting a good customizable service.

Unless it creates a new address every time it's useless, because shops should definitely use a new address for each transaction.

this is for printing out. to display..

so printing out a new page every time is impracticable.. thats what services like bitpay would do where QR codes are displayed on a Ipad/tablet/cashier terminal...

but for printouts, this is for donations and where there is only one purpose, so a single address can be used multiple times.

Yes, this tool is ideal for creating a quick sign for very small businesses who just want to start taking payments or donations - I agree it would be better to use a different address for each transaction, but if the business only processes maybe one transaction per day then it's probably fine - and I doubt that anonymity is really a serious concern in this use case.

So, thanks for the feedback about the templates, I'll see if we can get a few more added.
