[ANN] myb.tc bitcoinaddress shortener

[dieselmeister]

some two new functions are available:

1. tap or click on the bar code on both screens (address and money request) and your bitcoin-app should automatically start and use the data to generate a payment

2. on the address screen you are able to enter a money request. (currently USD and EUR - other currencies comming soon)

I don't get the point if this bitcoin address shortener can earn money because this is no comercial and nothing to advertising

I said I was thinking in the area of services like https://shorte.st initially.

well, I did add a little ad to the bottom and tweaked it a little.
as soon as SSL certs come free, I'll have the site SSL'd as well.

Although this looks cool, this has a problem with centralization and has huge risks.

You could easily change the bitcoin address of link on your server to your own address anytime.
I would recommend a more decentralized solution:

• Use a chrome/firefox extension to shortlen/lookup
• Use a decentralized api like onename to store shortened links

Just see many of you got a short url of 3 letters:

It's pretty nice, one more use of it is you can add it below your avatar, as personal text because that field doesn't allow too many characters and it will look cool.

This is my link btw: http://myb.tc/QJT

And here's testing if the currency convert thing works or not http://myb.tc/QJT/9.99USD

Edit: It looks good, if someone wants to test that, go right ahead  'JK'

Great work guys, congrats.

So, what can I do with this shortener?
I just enter an address and the site generating QR Code and a link.
Then, what is the purpose of that?

The purpose (at least that's how we used btc.to back in the day) was to enter your bitcoin address and then only memorize the shortlink.
Say, you enter your paper wallet public address (1Fqi5DTDRBLeu7XCi7fZvHMpd35Qs3U8sT) and receive the short url http://myb.tc/LJI.

Now, if someone wants to send you bitcoin, you can just tell them to "go to myb.tc/LJI and send the bitcoins". They can then copypaste the address on their desktop pc and enter it into their wallet software. They could also scan the code without you being there and send. You could also pull up the link on your mobile and have your friend scan it with their app when you meet up.

Why is this useful?

- no need to carry a wallet on your phone to request BTC
- no need to copypaste addresses via email
- instantly accessible QR code even for remote locations.

I've used the hell out of btc.to and I hope others might find this service equally useful.

But my link is with 3 numbers: http://myb.tc/978. Why is this happening? Is it designed for people so that they can get all numbers/letters?

Thanks man, great tool...

I just tested it out, worked perfect for me http://myb.tc/73N

Also, the Money-request tool is great http://myb.tc/73N/1.00USD
