Show HN: simple Bitcoin gifting (YC Startup School '18)
- billions 8y agoFor the first few people interested, I can send a little Bitcoin using the service in exchange for product feedback. PM me your email.
- codetrotter 8y agoHN doesn’t have a PM function, and I don’t see your email nor any profiles listed on your HN user page.
- billions 8y agoThanks for pointing that out. Email hn@biterica.com. Thanks for your interest!
- andirk 8y agoThat is very cool! When i gave someone Dogecoin I had to do all that stuff your website does. Only suggestion is to make the placeholder text more obvious that is example data, like instead of "ann@mail.com" use "ex: ann@mail.com". And a lighter color is also common.
- billions 8y agoGreat feedback, thanks. Will fix the placeholders shortly!
- samfisher83 8y agoAren't you kind of worried about the volatility when giving someone bitcoin? You send 10 dollars and then its 8 dollar tomorrow?
- billions 8y agoThese gifts are like gift cards, small amounts and Biterica limits the gift size. People are excited to receive a unique, interesting gift with growth potential. If they really don't like it they can trade it for their local fiat currency right away, avoiding any volatility.
