Bitcoin URI Protocol Scheme

[Pmalek]

And, the URI scheme works with the Blockcain.com wallet so you can put it back on the list.

Now we have two people claiming it works and one who says it doesn't. I will just wait for the next reply from someone who is interested in checking before I put it back on the list. Like in sports, let's see if the result will be 3:1 or a draw after all. 

BlueWallet also works (obviously, mainnet wallet only, not LN), so you can add it as well.

BlueWallet has been added. Thanks for the tip.

There is no need for this Here is the intent filter from the AndroidManifest.xml page which confirms that blockchain wallet app does accept the bitcoin URI sheme:

Code:

            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />


                <data android:scheme="bitcoin" />


                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
            </intent-filter>

I wish I knew how to read that code, unfortunately, I don't.
The data android:scheme="bitcoin" part of it is the only thing that looks like it's pointing towards the wallet supporting the URI scheme. But I will take your word for it and put the Blockchain.com wallet back on the list.

Thanks for checking it out.

Part of source code you shown only proof that Blockchain.com wallet accept the bitcoin URI scheme. But it doesn't proof that the wallet support message field correctly.

This is actually the format that the scammers were using on bitcoin.org’s doubler pop-up scam. Clicking on the chosen amount’s button would modify the amount parameter, making it easier for the transfer to be initiated (providing your software is set-up to process URI). Scamming made easier, at the click of your mouse ...

i.e. code taken from their pop-up’s generated URI:

Code:

bitcoin:1NgoFwgsfZ19RrCUhTmmuLpmdek45nRd5N?amount=0.0022883

How exactly does the scam work? Is it one of those you pay X amount to receive XX back type of scams? I am asking because I see the amount of 0.0022883 BTC in your code. Why that amount? I would think it would be in the scammer's best interests to have the victim send as much as possible and not a predetermined sum. Or maybe they created several of these URI's to make it easier for their victims to fill out the needed transaction details with just one click.

That was the intent on the scam modal screen use on bitcoin.org (see Newbies, please be aware that Bitcoin.org is compromised! ): Click (amount button) & easily pay a fixed sum of 10$, 100$, 1000$ or 10000$ in BTC, or alternatively enter a custom amount. The odd looking BTC amount corresponds to the BTC equivalent of 100$ at the time.

Note: The URI modal was accessible yesterday on archive.org, but it isn’t today. It is though at https[colon]//archive[dot]ph/ERUpl (beware: scam modal screen).
