Topic: Your Bitcoin-Address as Short URL with 1bit.co (Read 2299 times)
Well, after I've sold the service in 2016 and the buyer did never merge it to his own server, I'm thinking about rebuilding it from scratch. What do you guys think, is there still a need? What would be your feature wishes, if any?
I've ever seen something similar like this service before, actually offering by our local exchanger here and i am currently using it however it's kinda different as yours there are no numbers out there just my name after domain, like people said above that's gonna be awesome if we could put our name after the domain so it's gonna be like 1bit.co/MyName for example, Just a friendly advise. This service is pretty cool to make our transaction is safer all we know if one of the caracter of our address is wrong then our bitcoin will be lost.
Well good luck for you.

You should edit the original post as there are some things that you have done already but still listed in the Ideas and future improvements . I've seen that for phone , you are using WhatsApp however It's not working and I get this once I click :
I want to know when we should expect seeing the project in Github as I really want to start playing with it , I also want to know the name of the theme you used even though It's premium.
Code:
whatsapp://send?text=My%20Bitcoin%20wallet%20address%3A%20https%3A%2F%2F1bit.co%2FXyYqu6u%20%7C%20Powered%20by%201bit.co

Thanks for your feedback. Are you seeing this What's App issue on Android, iPhone or Windows Phone? I assume, What's App is installed, right? As of now, I'm not going to release the code. Maybe at a later stage. The theme I'm using is Foundry: https://themeforest.net/item/foundry-multipurpose-html-variant-page-builder/11562108.

Good idea and very good job, trigger1975! My favorite part is how it warns me if I write an incorrect address, let us say a typo, into the textbox. Would it be possible to add an option where the User could generate custom URLs as https://1bit.co/codex for my address?

Next to come: personal/custom short URLs where you can collect more than one personal wallet address/short link.
Please let me know if you have any questions or face any issue!

Great! I'd say this is by far the most user-friendly Bitcoin address showcase site I've ever seen. I really like how simple the site is with little to no advertising. Anyway, will the custom short URLs feature be free or will it cost money? To be honest, (again) I don't really mind paying a few dollars for a custom short link.

@trigger1975 : I've sent you a PM about an advertising proposal on your website, get back to me via PM.
Alright. I've updated the service. I've removed the QR code for the short URL as I don't think it's necessary and enlarged the QR code for the wallet address. This also cleaned up the page a little bit.
Now I've added social share buttons for sharing your wallet short URL on Twitter, Facebook and (does only work on mobiles) What's App. Also you can send your wallet short URL page per mail to your friends.
Last but not least, you can add an amount of money/BTC to request and code into the QR code. It's still missing an input field for this for more convenience/user friendliness but it's already available per URL api. Just append the request amount to your short URL like:
https://1bit.co/O74a/49.95USD or https://1bit.co/O74a/99.95EUR
For currency any ISO currency name supported by Bitpay.com is possible. E. g.
https://1bit.co/O74a/99.95DKK
https://1bit.co/O74a/99.95JPY
https://1bit.co/O74a/99.95CNY
https://1bit.co/O74a/99.95INR
The request amount is live converted with latest Bitpay.com exchange rate. When you send a request amount page per mail, the recipient receives the appropriate QR code with the amount coded in, the request amount and exchange rate in the email.
Please consider this release as still beta.

Glad you both like the service and find it useful. I will consider the custom short link where you attach more than one address to. Sounds for a great idea. But as this requires some sort of user-login backend, it'll take some more time to implement this. Thanks for your great input.

And be sure to not create any shortlink that start with 1 for now so that when you implant the custom shortlink later on, there will not be any clashes. Do remember to tell me once it is done. As for budget, I really don't mind paying one to two USD worth of Bitcoin for the custom URL but not more than that unless your website is popular - which need time.
Just want to add up my suggestion that you should bring up something like bitcoin address drawer in which users can place any no. of bitcoin address they want + you should also add something like custom link like: http://1bit.CO/Avirunes links to all of my bitcoin addresses. What do you think?
It will be great if we can have a custom short URL. I actually want to have a https://1bit.co/1JTKing address instead of https://1bit.co/1JTKingdNGmCfbP8HCbhenoxRQuy8tqZvs. Maybe for people who sponsor some Bitcoin (don't charge too much though) for the service? Do tell me if the option is available and I may consider. .

Ahhh very nicely done. I never thought of this being a need but if you're trying to share this over twitter you'll obviously need to shorten that blockchain.info url! That's a beast! Does your service also also you to automatically send people transaction amounts? What I mean is you send a link and it opens their wallet with a transaction of whatever you set up. That could be a good idea too.
Thanks for your input! That's something I have on the list for the improvement. But this is somehow tricky as the short UIDs are permanent so the request for a dedicated amount must expire after some time. Also you maybe want to change that/put in a new amount in future. Still needs more thinking but is a good idea.

Interesting, neat and ... don't know how to describe idea. I've seen some people with this sort of idea before though. Anyway, I like that it is advertisement-free and have a clean, sleek and modern looking user interface.
I also like that the URL is short and memorable. I'd bet you spent a lot of time deciding this domain.

Great and good idea.I always don't have my addy on all devices. This is a good service to keep your bitcoin address with you . Just want to add up my suggestion that you should bring up something like bitcoin address drawer in which users can place any no. of bitcoin address they want + you should also add something like custom link like: http://1bit.CO/Avirunes links to all of my bitcoin addresses.

Good effort. Optional shorten link. Thumb up!.

Sometime, it is better to ignore big mouths like that dude, waste of time.
I've been looking for something like this for a while. It will definitely make sending BTC addys easier without the need to read through all the characters to make sure they match up.
Would love to see this for LTC too.
Thanks for the great work and for sharing!

Now that I have some free days after Christmas, I'll implement ways to easily send your short URL per Mail, Twitter, Facebook. For WhatsApp I need to check the share capabilities and for SMS need to check for a free/cheap gateway as the most SMS gateways are not for free and ads will not yet give enough return to cover these costs. Other altcoins coming soon.
Thanks
