I just test-fired the Coinapult, and the coins landed in GMail's spam filter. Sad

Also, you may want to be more clear in the instructions to claim the coins, if you're targeting people who have never heard of Bitcoin before. Although I'm not sure how you can do that without seeming suspicious: "Someone sent you some money! Install this software on your computer and then click this link to receive your money!" Yeah, that sounds totally legitimate. Roll Eyes

Yoink!

Damn google. I think they decided it was spam because I sent so many test messages to my gmail account. I'm thinking of getting a third party mail service to send the emails, but that is a costly hassle. :/

Each of these addresses should have only ONE transaction! There's more unconfirmed transactions on the way! SHUT IT DOWN!

Awesome stuff. Your FAQ answered almost every question I had but one: How does the email message with the coins and instructions look like?

Ok... but I'm interested in the whole process. Please show us everything, from start to finish, how it looks if I send someone a coinapult message with coins, what message they receive and what process they have to go through to get the coins and how the instructions look like guiding them, I would like to know the details of every step it takes to complete the process.

Hazek, I could spend 10 minutes taking screenshots and carefully posting them... but I'm really lazy. Risk a bitcent on my honor and try it. :p

Q: what happens to coins that are not claimed?

After 30 days, an email is sent to the sender (see 'From:' field on send page) with a recovery code.

Where are the coins stored? What security measures do you have in place?

How can users feel safe knowing that their bitcoins they send actually get to the receiver?

This is how scams get started by NOT answering these questions.

The coins are stored on Paysius's secure transaction server. The two communicate via the Paysius API, which is documented here: https://paysius.com/developers. This is the same system that Feed Ze Birds has been using and distributing hundreds of BTC through for months.

Announcing... Coinapult!!!

From the team that brought you FeedZeBirds, Coinapult is here!

Coinapult is how you send Bitcoins via email.

If you want to send Bitcoins to someone, traditionally that person needed a Bitcoin address. No longer! Now, if you know someone's email address, you can Coinapult coins over to them. See a cute girl, and want to launch Bitcoins at her? Great idea! Just load them up on the Coinapult (instant confirmations), and let slip the machine of war!

The coins will be launched thousands of miles instantly and smash down in the girl's inbox. She'll have simple instructions on how to access the coins, and she can then do what she wishes. She will be impressed, and will love you forever.

Uses for Coinapult:
- Send coins to friends and family easily
- Introduce new people to Bitcoin by giving them coins upfront
- Tip anyone in the world - like a certain news article? Sent Bitcoins to the author's email!
- Businesses: plugin to Coinapult's API to send refunds, distribute winnings, or

We know the community will find exciting new uses for Coinapult, so give it a try and see what you come up with.

Launch Some Coin Right Now!
