bitcoin-app.com - Facebook Bitcoin App - 0.01 BTC welcome present

[trudi]

Hi all!

So often requested. Now its there!
A yet simple BETA version of a Facebook Bitcoin App.
It allows you to exchange Bitcoins with your friends and others on Facebook.

The first 100 users will get a 0.01 BTC welcome present! So you don't need to spend your own coins for a test.

http://bitcoin-app.com

Mind! Its BETA and just a simple hack. Don't upload too many coins for your own coins safety.
I can't give any guarantees.

Update 21.03.12
Withdrawal granularity is set to 0.00001 BTC (was 0.01 before)
Update 26.03.12
Withdrawal fee removed
Update 27.03.12
Optional subject field for intra-app transactions
Update 02.04.12
Added SSL support: try https://bitcoin-app.com
Update 05.04.12
New design

Have fun,
Trudi

Suggestion: Instead of soliciting here... Make 100 wallets that contain 0.01BTC and give them out along with the application invite. Start with your friends.

How many confirmations do you wait?

This is pretty awesome if it works.

But surely facebook are going to jump on this instantly?  What with Bitcoin being considerably better than facebook credits.

This has already existing for some time now and I've been using it. This guys version of it is way clunkier and uglier.

See the original on facebook:

(We charge 0.5% withdrawal fee to compensate operational expenses)

And that's on top of the Bitcoin transaction fee.

Lawl. Wait, they charge a fee? Lame. So that's one more strike against them.

Strikes:

• Crappy design
• Inconveniently and unprofessionally hosted outside of Facebook apps
• Charges a fee
• Is not a faucet
• False advertising

My rating for this business at present is:

Non-starter / Stillbirthed

But it says it's free?

Before login/giving up facebook access credentials

Facebook Bitcoin-App
Fast. Easy. Free.

After login/giving up facebook access credentials

Send coins to a Bitcoin address

It seems free between users that use the app.

Anyway, as he said it's in beta ... It's better if you show more love and suggestions

Okay.

Here's a suggestion to OP:


Go use http://apps.facebook.com/yougotcoin/ and learn something.

Wow. So many feedback in just a few minutes. Thank you!

It said "free" because exchange of coins with facebook members is free. We only charge this little fee when you send coins to a bitcoin address. But well spotted. I changed the site and jumped on "realnowhereman"s appraisal "Awesome".

Currently it waits for 1 confirmation. I'll soon change to 3 I think.

Mind that this is private fun. It's not meant to be a "business" nor do I want to win a design award with it.

Hmm.. They want to post on my behalf. I would never give this permission to any app.. sorry.

How would you expect to notify a facebook member when they receive bitcoins from another facebook member through the app then? Make the member write a message themselves with a paste of the blockchain?

I see, you have not tried http://bitcoin-app.com yet Try it out, you'll get 0.01 BTC as a welcome present and so its free for you and you will see how we solved the user notification.

You start with your friends in a first stage. We are in the second stage..

I'm working to integrate Bitcoin with Diaspora. Much better than Facebook, open source and distributed social network...
