Yougotcoin app on facebook is a scam...

*image*

From the amount of times I've seen people call things scams in this community, I think scam has lost its meaning..

No, it's not a scam. The 3rd party hosted and backed up cloud wallet provider transitioned their infrastructure, and totally Fubar'd on the uptime. The application itself was having difficulty for a few hours in connecting to the main wallet, and we're adding a hot standby in case it happens in the future.

I should also mention I really was surprised to see that the application already has over 120 users now.

Wigglyuk: I'm sorry the application was temporary non-functional, and I worked to remedy it as quickly as possible. I assure you that You Got Coin is not a scam, and I'd further like to say that we never intended for You Got Coin to be anyone's main wallet, but instead a simple way to send Bitcoin to your Facebook friends, and as a backup for small amounts of easily accessible Bitcoin.

Regards,
Jonathan

[EDIT] The error message you see "aww" has been replaced with actual debugging information. One of the developers apparently forgot to remove that silly bug message from final code.

I seem to have jump the gun on this one, my balanced returned after a day and my balance was back to normal. The negitive balance did frieghten me though and I see that it has happened again today but returned within a few hours. I will confirm that YouGotCoin App on Facebook is NOT a scam. Sorry for the Libel.

By an error or your own modification of the page's contents, it is not important why the screen shot shows a negative balance. What is important is that you already spent your Bitcoin balance before lying about the app being a scam.

I guess you could say I'm scamming the multiple Free bitcents-a-day site by farming a steady flow of bitcents per month... but I did not send my .2 accumulation of bitcents anywhere, it should be in the YouGotCoin app, the second I saw it was missing I cried wolf; again I apologize for the Libel.

Aside from the occasional negatie balances, YouGotCoin is a solid app and is likely to convert the facebook kin into bitcoin users.

Am I the only one who laughed at the idea of somebody hacking a Bitcoin account for .039 Bitcents then leaving an "awe" message?

Since Trudi has already shown that spamming and deception are how he gets people to try his app, it would not surprise me in the slightest if you were a friend or sockpuppet trying to make YouGotCoin look bad.

I'll be watching you both from this point on.

I advocate the Zeitgeist Movement & Venus Project.

I wouldn't trust a closed source application that relies upon a proprietary platform to handle bitcoin. Especially a platform obsessed with acquiring as much personal information as possible.

How do the apps work? Do they both hold onto all the private keys to all the addresses? Or do something like blockchain.info/solidcoin?

It would be cool if somehow they used a password to generate the keys and used the password to re-generate the keys to sign a tx message so not even the facebook app could run with all the BTC.

bitcoin-app.com uses the original bitcoin client and no special tricks.

Sounds like a nice idea bitlotto. But actually the whole authentication procedure is entirely handled by Facebook and I have no access to the passwords or their hashes.

That is scalable, Matthew. This needs its own thread of which the developers should start.

Agreed. I'll get them to make a thread. They were just going to advertise it in the magazine but that's a tad late ^_-

Wow Matthew, so aggressive.. I decided not to argue with you any longer. I don't like these style of conversation. Sorry.

Be sportsman. We'll end up with nobody using any app. Have the people decide which Facebook App they like more:

bitcoin-app.com

or

I developed bitcoin-app.com because yougetcoin has soo many drawbacks.

No, you didn't. You had no idea of YouGotCoin at all. If you would have known about it, you wouldn't have made yours so horribly designed and under developed. I think you're just desperately trying to play catchup (hence the spam and FUD).

Quote from: trudi on March 23, 2012, 02:17:11 PM

The by far biggest one: The app asks for the permission to write literally anything they want to any wall in YOUR name. That is incredible and absolutely not necessary. I like apps that only ask for the things they need as a minimum to work.

In light of your obvious handicapped state, I recommend reading the following slowly since it's the second time I had to repeat it to you:

When you send coins to a facebook user that has not added the YouGotCoin app yet, it will send them a message on their wall letting them know they can collect the bitcoins.

Kind of a no-brainer. Your app does exactly the same thing, except in a much uglier interface -outside- of facebook -- so inconvenient. Get a clue. Stop defending your shitty interface and start making it better. Earn some respect.

Quote from: trudi on March 23, 2012, 02:17:11 PM

The second issue: You can only send coins to your friends on Facebook.

Wrong. You can send to your friends or any bitcoin address.

Quote from: trudi on March 23, 2012, 02:17:11 PM

bitcoin-app.com allows to send coins to any Facebook member.

Wrong. You cannot send anything to anyone that you do not know. Are you new to the basic privacy features in facebook or something?

Is this the best you can do? FUD and spam?

I continue with bitcoin-app.com because yougetcoin has some drawbacks.

The by far biggest one for me personally: The app asks for the permission to write literally anything they want to any wall in YOUR name. That is dangerous and absolutely not necessary. I like apps that only ask for the things they need as a minimum to work.

The second issue: You can only send coins to your friends on Facebook and to bitcoin addresses.

bitcoin-app.com allows to send coins to any Facebook member (you can search for them) or to bitcoin addresses as well.

But hey, try both and make your decision Wink

http://apps.facebook.com/yougotcoin/

If I click on "go to App" does that add it to my account? Or can I read up on it before it sucks my facebook account.

I'm not a big fan of Facebook apps, but I may do it for bitcoin...

Yep! The best part is, it's a faucet also.

Now, I said I've used it for a month, and that's true, but I know the developers and they have briefly gotten busy working on another project for the next few days, so don't be surprised if something happens that isn't fixed immediately.

This is one of my favorite apps of theirs though so I will stand by it regardless of what happens.

I would probably use more Facebook apps if I could actually find out what they do before they are added to my account...

Interesting, you get 0.01BTC to play with. My account balance is 0.01BTC but my accound address has nothing in it according to blockchain.info

It's probably like most other wallets where that is your deposit address they just generated and the funds (you've been given credit for .01BTC worth of them) are not allocated.
