Not Minor : I will agree with you that perhaps 15 was overboard, we just learn from others experience, and evidently what happened to mybitcoin was the lack of confirmations, granted we might have went overboard but it was a security feature in our opinion, what would be a reasonable number that won't allow for a backdoor like that?

I believe the generally accepted value is 6 confirms. This is what MtGox uses, and this is when a transaction changes from "unconfirmed" to "confirmed" in the client.

MyBitcoin was doing 0, if I remember correctly.

Thanks!

Do you have an iPhone app, or a way I can pay with my iPhone without having to type in the address? Like scan a q-code?

it's completely tested with mobile

do this.. bookmark the https://bank.flexcoin.com as a homepage icon... you'll see the flexcoin icon there!

it's easier than a q-code if sending to id.. literally just send to flexcoin ID president from your iphone, i'll send your coin back if you want to test it.

transfers are instant and works over mobile devices (tested on Android and iPhones) ...

Ok, I see your idea here, you hope every merchant will have a flexcoin ID. And it also benefits the consumer, because the transaction is free for them if the merchant has a flexcoin ID.

That's cool, I can see that.

So, then I just have two issues, one minor, one not.

* Not minor: 15 confirms before I can spend them? 6 is not good enough for you? For me to test your app as you suggested, I'd have to wait 3 HOURS, as I just sent some BTC to my Flexcoin account.

* Minor: I can't access the FAQ or documentation from my account page. The links are not there.

I think this can be a great service. I realize you are in the early stages. I wish you luck.

Minor : I will have the links put up, programming guys want it as separate as possible from the WWW version of the site but I see your point and I will have that addressed.

Minor: just include a link to the FAQ on the account page. you don't have to add the same html and associated code.
Not Minor: please explain in detail to everyone why this is a safe service and why, specifically, it is not going to rip off my bitcoins like mybitcoin did.

Are you connected with Lycos Mail? Your website uses the same image as www.mail.lycos.com.

And the same as treasurewebdesigns.com, websitesuccess.co.uk, enlightenedwealthywomen.com, mccsystems.co.uk among many others.

A more personal look would be appealing, but I guess that comes with time...

Greetings all,

First off, love the site, very clean and simple to use, looks great as well.

I know someone was talking about miner fees earlier in this thread, but I don't fully understand what that means, can you please explain it to me?

-KBundy

You pay a fee to withdraw bitcoins from flexcoin. 70% of that fee is redistributed among the users. 30% is used to pay for the transfer fees (aka miner fees) and to keep the service running.
