Who else read the article and read QuickCoin as QuarkCoin?

I think that using this wallet will provide massive exposure for Bitcoin within the Facebook community, however it comes with privacy concerns too.

Meh.  Zuckerberg's just trying to mess with the Winklevosses again.

I don't believe that Zuckerberg has anything to do with this.

It is total garbage.  They lose thousands of customers everyday because they don't make the application available without 'send a request'.  You must give your email so you can be spammed to hell for the next 5 years.  I just want to download the damn thing to try it.  But there is no download page.  You must 'send a request'.  The minute I see a form which ask for my email and has 'send a request' on it - I bail.  100% quit.  A real estate agent website I was on last month lost $30000 fees because his stupid page has 'send a request' on it.  My fucking request is implicit because I am on your fucking site looking at your shit.  My request is embodied in the fact that I am looking on the internet for your shit.  Don't make it hard to download your app and you have a change to get people to download it.  Force people to give their email address and 'send a request' and you will limit your users by 4:1 by my estimate.  Who has time to 'send a request'?  Just give me the fucking download page.

I'm sure those worried about their privacy or being annoymous wont use this. It's good for the bigger picture though.

what is 'the bigger picture'?

Ie bitcoin going mainstream. Having people use it on facebook will help a lot.

Yup, you don't have to use it, other people can Smiley

Any information about if Facebook allows this kind of things? Do they allow competitors for their own credit system?

Thats what I thought. Only time will tell.

I guess there's always a privacy issue with facebook  Cheesy.

youre naturally sacrificing your privacy by even logging onto facebook, but what this app does is create a massive database of real world identities [1] mapped to Bitcoin addresses.  They don't necessarily need to know every address to track down the owners, but knowing their social connections helps them to eliminate a lot of the possibilities.

curious that CoinDesk does not even mention this aspect at all. (or maybe not)

[1] and these identities include extensive info on family, friends, beliefs, tendencies, likes, etc.

of course CoinDesk doesn't bother to mention the privacy concerns here.  Building a database of BTC address -> Facebook address.

I think this is pretty nice from Facebook.
They will make bitcoin more mainstream by doing this.
Think of all that facebook people who maybe never heard of bitcoin or are gonna try it now because of Facebook.
Remember they have so much users, really good news I would say.
