Great new tool for agorists to collect funds online
« on: July 03, 2012, 05:06:59 PM »
I know the liberty community is one of the fastest adopting groups of Bitcoin.
I'm happy to announce a new site that is perfect for anyone trying to raise money online.

BitcoinChipin.com




BitcoinChipin will allow anyone to easily make a widget to raise funds for anything they like.
BitcoinChipin never has access to your money.
The Bitcoins are sent directly to your own Bitcoin address and Bitcoinchipin.com simply monitors the Bitcoin network to update your widget in real time.

This is perfect for anyone who is tired of restrictions placed by paypal.

Please start using www.bitcoinchipin.com today!

You can buy Bitcoins for cash at more than 700,000 locations using www.bitinstant.com
You can spend your bitcoins on just about anything using www.spendbitcoins.com
If you don't know anything about bitcoins, the most important invention in the history of mankind since the internet itself, visit www.weusecoins.org

Please post any questions or requests below,  or join us on the Bitcoin forums at: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=91265.0

So, it monitors your address, and when it sees something come in, updates the total? Pretty cool. Is the USD value also realtime? If so, what exchange does it monitor?

When the chipin can accept FRNs from Paypal or CC and convert them to Bitcoins for the recipient, then we'll really have something

The problem with both of those options is that they support chargebacks. Bitcoin does not support "undoing" a transaction, so if a Paypal or credit card payment gets contested, the exchange that accepted that payment is screwed. People have lost a good bit of money that way, so much that Paypal will refuse the transaction if they know it's for Bitcoin.

It monitors the exchange rate from mtgox.com and updates in real time.

Roger, there is a bug, in my opinion:  I didn't realize that I wouldn't be able to get the code again - made some changes to the original code the site gave me, then wanted to re-copy the original and the site won't re-display it.  It just tells me a widget has already been created for my address.

In addition, the code is not working on FK.  Here's what it is showing:

(Note, that is the LRN.FM code I generated fresh because I could not get the site to re-display the code for FK's wallet, 1LqEQDridNj99FN9erpw7PJJQKkWzTWkpX )
