Ok, next version is up. It will attempt to convert Bitcoin addresses to links which bring up the send box when clicked. It has some limitations and can still get confused, but it should work in most cases. You can still do the double-click to hi-light and right-click to send method in places where it fails.

I'm working on getting ahold of some online wallet services to see about integrating them for a no-client-needed option. Though, unless they can also provide address verification, you'd still need the client to convert addresses to links and whatnot.

It doesn't convert anything for me and I still can't send bitcoins.

It would be much nicer if it was possible to automatically detect BTC addresses and mark them somehow, instead of having to select them.

I've been thinking about this. Since it's not part of a tag, it would require parsing all the text on a page. And since there's nothing really overt to identify a bitcoin address as such, that means checking every word on the page for length, and then sending it to Bitcoin for verification, which can get pretty ugly. Still, it might be worth trying just to see how it performs.

I'm liking the data- attributes idea for images. I'll have to take a closer look at that.

Addresses have a convenient format for parsing. They always begin with the number "1" and have a length of at least n and no more than m.

Following the discovery of such strings that looks like addresses you can check it on the client, this option recently added to it.

This is a dirty hack, although this does not seem as it. It will ruin the caching of images, at least.

I suggest use a new tag:

or

for built-in into plugin "pay" buttion

Incredibly bad idea, as suggested above microformats is the way to go, since it's standard compliant XHTML 1.0 strict and it is easy to process.

This certainly works well enough for powerusers, and I (almost) sent 40 btc.

Hey! Amazing work on the Chrome extension. I just tried it:

It works from this forum but not from the (secured) Chrome extensions page - from where I downloaded it.
If I click on a *bad* address there, it does give the usual error message but a valid address (ie yours) shows nothing. Odd.
It sends fine from this forum though. (enjoy your Bitcoin btw - don't spend it all at once)

Ubuntu Meerkat, Chrome 8.0.552.18 dev

Thanks for the feedback. Glad it's working. I just added explicit access to https, but the address on the extensions page still won't work because Chrome recognizes the extensions gallery and won't run scripts on it, so I've taken my address off of there.

So both OS and version could be a factor. I'll try and see if I'm using some new or experimental feature.

No luck, anyway.

What OS / Chrome version are you using?

Error validating address string.

Well I'll consider it a step in the right direction. Are you still getting your balance when you click the icon? If not, are your options still set after the upgrade?

Oh, I forgot! Didn't start my bitcoin daemon. Will do and test again.

I've updated the extension so it doesn't use notifications anymore. Instead, it creates its own little box in the upper right of your browser tab. Please let me know if this works for you or not, or if you encounter any odd behaviors.

Ok. I'll switch it to open a new tab or window and see if we can get it to work that way. Might be a day or two. Things got busy.

No effect.

Hmm, ok. Try right-clicking the little pumpkin picture beside my post and see if you get anything when you click the Send Bitcoins option from there (I set it up as previously described). In the mean time, I'll looking back through the code to see if I can find what went wrong. If you're up for it, I might send you the code to load raw and see if you can get debut info when it fails for you.

Edit: Also check what happens (if anything) when you select some text other than a bitcoin address and choose Send Bitcoins.

Double no such luck.
