what you think about the Photo suggestion from previous post ? i mean u stated that you most fear is that if u get attacked or hacked, this might give you time to react since even if he gets the database and change the addresses, changing the pictures will take him time and you might have a window to detect the intrusion !

I like the photo idea, and am working on it.  I'm torn between several different concepts.  Let me know your opinion:

1.  Let users link to a single external photo or image.  This is easy.  Issues:  how do I size it (or do I?), and do I need to worry about some clown linking to an obscene image?

2.  Let users upload profile images.  This is slightly harder, but pretty easy. 

3.  Let users design a background image and a profile pic, like Twitter's page.  This might be an overkill.



Opinions?

I like option 2 better, so i can upload my face and on the forehead can right the bitcoin address Smiley , i add in the comment "Check if the forehead address and the text address match"

This site is a great idea, I claim Xenland Smiley

Thank you.

You need to request it on the site, and the site will walk you through the claim process (giving you a code=xxxxx to post.)
Let me know if it's not self explanatory.

Got a very valuable suggestion for you : CHANGE YOUR SIGNATURE Tongue
Fantastic suggestion!    Now, if there was only some directory that I could look you up in, to shoot you some Bitcoin for such a valuable suggestion... ahhh THERE IS!   Cheesy   

For that suggestion, I'm gonna refund every Bitcoin you paid me to date!

Thanks for claiming it for me. I was just wondering. Is it possible to change the background colour? That yellow is very very bright. Smiley

OK, I toned down the Yellow.

See myB.TC/jerfelix

Any other suggestions or bug reports?
Thanks for the testing, folks!

@fadisaaida: The attributes in the HTML seem to be swapped:

Code:

I claim http://myB.TC/bgeron (code=78142).



It looks like, in the database, yours was able to claim!
Let me know if this didn't work for you.

Idea for future protection: adding the ability to upload a picture (avatar) so that i can make picture of my face for example and embed the bitcoin address on the picture itself for easy matching of correct code and also recognizing ! something to think about anyway.

Color changes, home page customizations, images... all are in future releases!

right now, I just use color= "yellow", pink (for available), and gray (for reserved).  But these will be customizable.   I believe that color will be another distinctive identifier of your page.  ("Mom, if you see a yellow page, that's not me.  spell my nickname right!")



Thanks for the suggestion!


PS, I'm having a heck of a time getting this "claim" thing to work!  Sorry I have been mucking with it in real time!

Note: This is in no way intended to be accusing or rude to the inventor of this awesome site.

Just a word of caution though in case no-one else thought of it: Site owner could easily randomly swap out addresses for one of his own, say every 100 views, and collect that beer money for himself.

Having said that, I'm gonna get myself a URL... thanks!


rats, yer onto me!

Seriously, I know I can trust myself - I feel pretty good about that.  I just have to build the trust of others.
I fully intend for this site to be a long-term strategic asset, and I have done a lot of things to try to build trust.  For instance, you know my name, I haven't made the domain registration private, so you effectively know how to reach me. 

I know we're dealing with money here, and so it's a serious matter.

My concern is not trust of me, but that someone else will hack in and change the wallet ID's of users.  So I have some security features planned (like an email notification and 2-factor authentication for locked accounts).  It wouldn't stop someone who hacks the database, but it would stop someone from hacking at your end.


I'm glad you pointed that out, though, because you can never be too careful.  Think like a criminal!  It'll help you spot vulnerabilities.

Hmm, good point. Didn't think of that. I'm willing to give the man the benefit of the doubt here though.

Oh, me too.
