Topic: [ANN] Coinapult - send Bitcoin over email or SMS in seconds (Read 10316 times)
Anyone using the mycelium-coinapult locked account?
I like the design of Coinapult website. It's playful yet functional.
The site has also helped me flesh out a web app in my head. Kudos!

Thanks, evoorhees did it. He's a master of branding.
Hope we get to see your web app in action soon.

I made some improvements to the API, and wrote libraries.
New method:
Get Details - Get the recovery URL for a payload.
Libraries:
Python
PHP
NodeJS
https://coinapult.com/api
The new API requires credentials. Will open up the account registration process soon, which will allow for automatic API credential generation, but until then, please contact me for creds.

You can now use your cell phone to control your Coinapult funds. This is accomplished through simple SMS commands sent to the Coinapult phone number: (603)509-2102
Basic commands are:
All Bitcoin sent to your phone number is accessible through these commands by default. Each time you receive funds, it will still give you the recovery URL, if you prefer to use the website. In the future, I'll allow site accounts to be created, and users will be able to combine multiple email addresses and phones into one account.
Basic commands are:
Quote
help me - prints available commands
send (dude) (amount) - Sends (amount) to (dude). (dude) can be a phone number, email or btc address.
bal - Returns your Bitcoin balance.
txs - Returns a list of your last 5 transactions.
addr - Returns a new Bitcoin address for you to receive at.
yes (code) - Confirm a send request
send (dude) (amount) - Sends (amount) to (dude). (dude) can be a phone number, email or btc address.

I SMS coinapulted a bitcoin a friend in the US and hes terribly confused. what's his secret location?
You question implies that he did not receive his retrieval url, or that it was improperly formatted. Would you PM me the number used, so that I can resend, making sure it is properly done?
I got him to forward the SMS to me and it made sense to me.
I claimed the coin.
Thanks for getting back to me promptly.
No problem. I'm a bit curious, though... It made sense to you, but not him? Any idea why? Is there something I can learn from this? :/

Added stats page: https://coinapult.com/stats
We just passed 10k BTC sent a couple of days ago.
The API now fully supports SMS payloads, in addition to email. I'm also pleased to report that the mobile template is pretty much done. I have two android phones and it looks good on both. If anyone has trouble on other phones, please let me know.

Just added SMS support. Simply type in a 10 digit (US + Canada) phone number into the "to" field to send money via text message.
Also, topped off the first version of the mobile site. Some pages are a little wide, but zooming in generally fixes any issues.

Awesome service! I'm glad you hooked up with bitinstant.com. Very useful feature: your customer pays cash at their local bank and you receive bitcoin using the "bitcoin to email" feature.
Yeah over 2,300 BTC Coinapulted from BitInstant thus far. It's a hit. PIN code has now been added to make it a bit safer.

a confirmation email sent to the from address would also be a nice feature
recipient never received email, no rejection email sent.
Will follow up with site admin tonight.
Mem, I haven't received any inquiry. Would you please fill out the contact form on the site, and include the intended recipient, or PM me said information?

Thanks for the vote of confidence, psy, we always do our best to run an honest, tight ship.
Some updates:
Added a contact page.
Modified the API to allow direct to Bitcoin address transactions.
Added an optional 4-8 digit pin number to the API.
I could easily allow people to enter a pin number on the home/send page, but I think this might cause too much confusion. The idea of a pin is that it isn't emailed to the user. So, for instance, BitInstant generates a pin and displays it for the user at the time they create their cash to bitcoin order. The pin is not included in the email, so the user is expected to note it and remember for fund retrieval.
What do you folks think? Is there utility in allowing a pin to be entered on the website send form, or will this simply confuse?

a very interesting concept, I especially like the API feature.
anyone tried? reliable? no bicoins lost in the process? then I might give a try.
Don't need to try to know evoorhees and barebones ventures are as reliable as they can be.
If bitcoins get lost in the process, most likely it won't because because of them. And if it is indeed because of them I have every reason to believe they'll do the right thing
But don't take my word for it.

Might want to put a contact link somewhere on the page, even if it just goes back to here.
Also, could the capacity to auto deposit Catapult Payloads sent to an email address be added, in case it catches on as a form of payment? Might want to consider staggered withdraw and reloadable deposits if you want to integrate on-site wallet functionality, but for your current scope, it looks great.
