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
Anyone vet this yet? I don't want to be the first
Typical joe/jane: I can't wait for a facebook application that allows me to transfer to my friend with my blackberry with btc's to make up for my share of the bill at the restaurant. The app writer, as well as the person who referred me to this convenient method to transfer btc's to my friend can take a small fee on the transaction - as well. I'm not interested in running a client - because i don't even mine on my blackberry. I just want to give to my friends sometimes, easily on facebook with no complicated addresses - just want to click on their facebook names please and add number of bitcoins!!!

Has anybody started work yet on a Bitcoin application, plugging into Facebook to facilitate btc transfer between Facebook friends and subtracting a small commission to the app's introducer's bitcoin address (which gets programmed into the app when it got passed on / referred to the friend)? Where can you get hold of such an application? As I would like to introduce a few of my friends and add my btc address to the destination address for commissions.
Dang. So many interesting project ideas, so little time.
You are right. I wonder how long before the worlds oldest profession picks this up. Think about it. Cam/phone exchange for bitcoins.

This is a terrific idea for another bitcoin exchange. While it eliminates the anonymity, it could serve as a good basis of trust between traders.
I don't know of any such plugin, but I would be surprised if there weren't already a few people working on it.
Unfortunately my programming skills are lacking. You do not know of any such existing app plugin on the open Facebook platform? With regards to competition with Facebook credits - Facebook credits are for online games - not for transfer between friends, so it will be fulfilling in another need of Facebook users. It will actually make Facebook much more usable to a wider audience - enabling Facebook for Paypal-like transfers between friends. So maybe Facebook will actually embrace the even more traffic it will be enjoying from such a combination of technologies. But this is all speculation, and what and if scenarios - ultimately if something has use with a mass appeal - it usually succeeds, if no mass appeal, it does not succeed.
I think it would be great...it might also make huge headlines when Facebook bans it because it is eating into their profits from Facebook credits...LOL! Go for it!
Can someone build such an application of Facebook's open platform? There can even be a default commision% be built in for the developer on all transfers. Wouldn't it be really useful and easy to use with widespread appeal?
