Doesn't it hurt anonymity if you have a constant receiving address in that everyone could look up how much money you've been receiving?

Does anyone else think it's ridiculous to introduce errors into the QR-Code, just because you can?
All you are doing is making the QR-Code less likely to be able to be read successfully.
Remember, these QR-Code scanners are trying to adjust for size, angle, lighting, distance, color, reflection, smudges, etc. Why intentionally introduce errors with a giant Bitcoin logo in the center of the QR-Code? Silly if you ask me!

Sorry, I dont get it. What is the difference between the page you linked and the page you are proposing?
It's not so different than the site that is online now, except that we want the final page to look as clean and professional as possible so merchants would be proud to laminate it and have it next to their register.

Just PM me with the working URL when/if you get this going and let me know who to send it too.

Its basically a good idea for a business that is a huge city were someone would actually know about bitcoins they could put in a lamination and then paste it to their cash register table where customers usuallly write checks

I was looking at this great little tool to convert BTC addresses into 2D Barcodes:
http://qr.ma.eatgold.com/
It then occurred to me that this could be a great way to help new physical businesses accept bitcoins.
The idea is to make a website that lets a Bitcoin user to upload their:
1. Bitcoin address
2. optional company logo and text
Then the website would output a page similar to the attached photo I made:
The new Bitcoin merchant could then print out this page, and tape it next to their cash register so any customer with a smartphone can use it to pay with bitcoins.
Making this webpage is beyond my skill set, but I am sure someone here can make this easily.
I know several businesses that would likely start using bitcoins right away if they could do it this easily.
Once this tool is created, we should also have a link to it from the "Retail Business" section of https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/How_to_accept_Bitcoin,_for_small_businesses
Any thoughts?

I posted a link to it from the Wiki here:

Where else can we post this tool that people who need it can easily find it?
Please post it online, and then post the link back here for us all to see.
