bitcoin: URI and/or bitcoin-request MIME type for click-to-pay #14

issue gavinandresen opened this issue on December 22, 2010
  1. gavinandresen commented at 2:58 PM on December 22, 2010: contributor

    There are several threads on the bitcoin forums proposing bitcoin: URI schemes and a bitcoin-request MIME type. Functionality desired is:

    • Click a link on a website
    • bitcoin client launches, shows a dialog box with payment details that you then approve to send payment.

    Security is obviously a huge issue here; will have to be careful that none of the tricks hackers use to defraud users will work (e.g. clickjacking, HTTP man-in-the-middle rewriting of bitcoin addresses...).

    You might want to include various options.

    Example mailto: URL: mailto: astark1@ unl.edu?subject=MailTo%20Comments&cc=ASTARK1@UNL.EDU&bcc=id@internet.node (From http://www.ianr.unl.edu/internet/mailto.html, spaces inserted to not be interpreted as link)

    I've started working on a Firefox addon for that. This is why I opened #160

    @TheBlueMatt BIP21 compatible URI's are now supported; can this issue be closed ?

  6. TheBlueMatt commented at 11:14 PM on February 21, 2012: contributor

    Yes, this should be closed.

    Should this be working with Bitcoin-qt 0.6? Implemented URIscheme on a webpage but nothing happens so far. Re-open? Or is #982 the follow-up. Missing in the info.plist (mac).

  10. gavinandresen commented at 3:15 PM on April 6, 2012: contributor

    Disabled for on Windows due to a bug in boost::interprocess. Never implemented on Mac.

  11. SteveBell commented at 9:42 PM on April 6, 2012: none

    ok. should I open a feature request for this on the mac? imo, important functionality to make bitcoin a popular alternative to other services.
