Hi,

This is just a shout-out to anybody who may have used this site.

I tried to register on there and enter in my details such as my PostCode, name and Skype name, but my account isn't updating and I can't see myself on the map.

Anybody know how to sort this out?

Cheers

Same here. Bummer there's no contact info on the site :-(

Yes, I think the developer abandoned this project a long time ago.

Bummer :-(

I think that is what will get BTC going eventually: Trade in the currency you just made by working -> BTC -> your loved ones back home pick up the currency they need to buy rice.

Funny, I was just looking at this today. Seems there's just some outdated Javascript stopping it from working - I managed to add myself after some tinkering in Chrome:

1. In Chrome, enter your details but hold off from submitting.
2. View Chrome's Developer Tools pane (via the View > Developer menu on Mac)
3. Click "Scripts" and open "application.js" under www.tradebitcoin.com > javascripts in the left hand menu
4. Click the line number on line 158 to set a breakpoint (the line that says "latitude = results[0].geometry.location.lat();")
5. Line 159 is the one we need to change (the lon() function doesn't exist). Click "Submit" on the page to run up to the new breakpoint.
6. The code should stop - go to the "Console" tab and enter "results[0].geometry.location.lon = function() { return this.lng(); }" (without quotes). Hit enter and you should see the function echoed back.
7. Go back to "Scripts" and press F8 to continue. "Profile Updated" should appear on the page and you should be saved on the site.

Works for me, YMMV.

Cheers,
Scribe

If you are interested to this kind of site, check out my newest project localbitcoins.com

I'm developing it now actively, and the response has been positive. All kind of feedback welcome.

Interesting! Works for me (Win 7) up to point 6 that returns:

Code:

results[0].geometry.location.lon = function() { return this.lng(); }
ReferenceError: results is not defined

Hmm, I got that if I hadn't pressed the Submit button yet - but I suspect it may also happen if it can't find the place you've entered. Make sure you've entered a location, and try being more specific if you have?

In theory you could probably submit the form from another page, but TBH localbitcoins.com looks like it might have more dev power behind it...

Sorry to necrobump, but I have to urgently edit my details on this site and it doesn't allow me to log in using OpenID Authentication. Contact methods on the site don't work and the developer doesn't respond through this forum. Can anyone successfully log in?

EDIT: On second look, it's worse than that, since it seems I was using an e-mail and password to log in and this option is disabled altogether.
