I'm working to integrate Bitcoin with Diaspora. Much better than Facebook, open source and distributed social network...   Wink

Yes, I heard about it. Diaspora sounds to be a great project. They also provide some kind of API for writing apps?

There is something wrong here.

I requested withdrawal of 0.02BTC from your service.
The transaction is this 66a126abff729e3f54797a8055e82d220a046d1802e559cdd692f1bea07effc9

There is no miners fee in the transaction although the send page claim 0.0005 miners fee and 0.0001 service fee from my balance.

Where is the miners fee and this case https://blockchain.info/tx-index/3424973/66a126abff729e3f54797a8055e82d220a046d1802e559cdd692f1bea07effc9
What will happen to the balance after the transaction will not be included in block due the lack of fee.

I have two questions:
1. Do you keep the miners fee on top of the service fee?
2. What about the service fee in this case, will it be returned after the transaction is not included in block for some time?

Hi!

I checked your transaction. Everything went fine.

It's a bit technical now:
The miners fee is somehow dictated by the original bitcoin client and depends on the size (in bytes) of yet open transactions that are to be included into the next block. This miners fee will likely be not more than 0.0005  (it could be more, but also 0 and I can't influence it).
Before I submit the transaction I check if you would have enough coint to pay a miners fee of 0.0005 BTC. If you don't have enough coins, you get the message you got when you first tried it (with not enough coins).

The answers to your 2 questions:
1. I don't keep the miners fee, its the miner who gets it. If the original bitcoin client allows to submit the transaction with no fee at all (as in your case), you won't even pay the fee. If you check your balance you will realize that you have not paid the fee.
2. The service fee is only charged when the transaction was submitted successfully.

Suggestion: Instead of soliciting here... Make 100 wallets that contain 0.01BTC and give them out along with the application invite. Start with your friends.

You start with your friends in a first stage. We are in the second stage..

How would you expect to notify a facebook member when they receive bitcoins from another facebook member through the app then? Make the member write a message themselves with a paste of the blockchain?  Roll Eyes

I see, you have not tried http://bitcoin-app.com yet Smiley Try it out, you'll get 0.01 BTC as a welcome present and so its free for you and you will see how we solved the user notification.

I saw already. You look-up a friend.

It seems free between users that use the app.

Anyway, as he said it's in beta ... It's better if you show more love and suggestions Wink
Okay.

Here's a suggestion to OP:


Go use http://apps.facebook.com/yougotcoin/ and learn something.

Wow! They want to post on my behalf. I would never give this permission to any app.. sorry.

Wow. So many feedback in just a few minutes. Thank you!

It said "free" because exchange of coins with facebook members is free. We only charge this little fee when you send coins to a bitcoin address. But well spotted. I changed the site and jumped on "realnowhereman"s appraisal "Awesome".

Currently it waits for 1 confirmation. I'll soon change to 3 I think.

Mind that this is private fun. It's not meant to be a "business" nor do I want to win a design award with it.

And that's on top of the Bitcoin transaction fee.

But it says it's free?

Lawl. Wait, they charge a fee? Lame. So that's one more strike against them.

Strikes:
  • Crappy design
  • Inconveniently and unprofessionally hosted outside of Facebook apps
  • Charges a fee
  • Is not a faucet
  • False advertising

My rating for this business at present is:

Non-starter / Stillbirthed

This is pretty awesome if it works.

But surely facebook are going to jump on this instantly?  What with Bitcoin being considerably better than facebook credits.

This has already existing for some time now and I've been using it. This guys version of it is way clunkier and uglier.
