Could you please change the text color of the answers on the faq page ? I need to select the text in order to read the text without effort. Thanks
We're working on this. Probably going to just lighten the whole site background.
Are the 0.2 still available?
Edit: When I tried to send to my cell phone, I got an entirely blank page at https://coinapult.com/payload/sendrequest . The funds are still available at the URL...
Edit2: apparently you can't send BTC after receiving it by email. However, it worked from the home page.
Idea: allow the use of Firstbits addresses

Sorry, all sent out.
Regarding the sendrequest page, this is most unusual... You should be able to do the things you just described with no trouble. Do I understand correctly that you saw the blank page when trying to withdraw from an existing payload to your cell phone?

I added a section on SMS to the FAQ page, with a lot of the questions from above. https://coinapult.com/faq Thanks for the Qs!
Awesome!
Needs an anchor for SMS ( ) so that an URL can go directly to that section. e.g.,:

Q.) Can I send to any phone number?
A.) Coinapult works with any U.S. or Canadian phone number that can accept test messages. We're working on expanding support internationally.

Personally, I don't like to use these units. I think they're confusing to people, and are not standardized, anyway. Does anyone else want alternate unit support?
If you do consider it, you might want to use BTCTip as an example of how to implement it:

This is fixed. Now, as soon as you confirm a request, it deletes all pending requests for your account. I don't foresee anyone wanting to make multiple send requests without confirmations in between, so this seems like a fair solution.
Interesting! I'll look into this, right away.
Feature request:
send 15ArtCgi3wmpQAAfYx4riaFmo4prJA4VsK 123mbtc
(millibits)
(mbtcs)
(mbtc)
Right now Coinapult sees that value and thinks I'm trying to send 123 BTC.

Another bug (I think):
I had made a send request, but then I didn't confirm. Then I made a second request and did confirm and it sent.
I then sent a confirm on the first request but I didn't have enough funds (just to test to see what would happen). The response was "Funds sent". The balance it showed didn't change from the prior balance value, indicating that the funds were not actually sent. And the recipient did not receive any message.
So this doesn't let you cheat Coinapult, but it might be confusing to someone and the message should indicate "Insufficient funds." when trying to confirm a send request where the balance isn't high enough.

Bug (I think):
I tried sending using a "1" country code, without the "+" (e.g., "1nnnnnnnnn" and not "+1nnnnnnnnn") and though the response was that Funds sentand my balance decreased (Edit: I now think there was no amount subtracted from the balance), the recipient never got a message.
I then tried sending using a +1 country code, and that too sent but the balance did not decrease, and the recipient never got a message.

Have an instruction page set up already, thought it needs a little work. Will put it up now, and do some editing. See it at: https://coinapult.com/sms-wallet.
Needs examples, of message and response.
Like this:
me: send 777-333-4444 5btc
Coinapult: Send 5btc to 777-333-4444? Respond 'yes 1wh5er' to confirm.
me: yes 1wh5er
Coinapult: Funds sent. Balance: 10btc
Coinapult: Send 5btc to 777-333-4444? Respond 'yes 1wh5er' to confirm.
me: yes 1wh5er
Coinapult: Funds sent. Balance: 10btc
And examples of formats.
To any bitcoin address:
send 15ArtCgi3wmpQAAfYx4riaFmo4prJA4VsK 0.1
To any e-mail address:
send [email protected] 0.1btc
To any mobile number:
send 123-456-7890 0.123 0.1
send 1234567890 0.1
And it needs a FAQ maybe?
Q.) Can I send to any number?
A.) Any number that can accept text messages.
Q.) Can I keep a balance in my SMS wallet? Is it secure?
A.) Yes. The funds can only be spent after you acknowledge a spend request.
Q.) I received the message "Confirmation code not found." Why?
A.) Either you entered the wrong confirmation code, or you waited too long to respond. You can send the message again.
Q.) I didn't get a response after sending a text.
A.) Coinapult uses Twilio. [Not sure why no response ... ??]?
Q.) Can I see transaction history?
A.) ??
etc.
Coinapult does send out the message immediately, on 0/unconfirmed.
This is usually the case. Only large or otherwise risky transactions are delayed for confirmation. This is very rare, though. Most of our large transactions go through the API, and are from trusted senders.
I would like to suggest making SMS.coinapult.com with all the instructions and information about this service.
The service won't be any good if no one knows about it.

That's an id ten T problem on me (ID10T).

It's really great. I have an google voice account an it works! If I were living in USA I will definitely use it as my daily bitcoin wallet.(not saving wallet of course)
I think I see the problem. You must first have an incoming Coinapult transaction in order for the SMS wallet to be created for that number. I suppose this is to prevent spamming, otherwise Coinapult would be responding to the SMS messages (e.g., for "bal") where no wallet existed yet even. Since each outgoing SMS costs Coinapult, I can see the rationale for not responding to these messages which don't yet have a wallet.

Is this service ready for me to start sharing with my friends and family?
Will the telephone number be changing in the future?
Is it OK to start using this now?

The telephone number will not be changing for U.S. and Canada, and the service will only change superficially. I.e. making instructions more helpful and integrating further with the website.
Please, feel free to share!

If you do decide to add support for IM services, I would like to suggest LINE.

LINE has more than 38 million users worldwide and is used in over 230 countries!

I don't think LINE has an API, Roger. We may not be able to interface with them. :/
