Ideas

  1. Maybe have a QR-code on the ewallet, which you can scan, and when you have done that, the application will automatically transfer all bitcoins from that account to the phone.
  2. Input email-address where the public key (idea from leifi)
  3. Scan the QR-code using webcam on computer (idea from leifi)
  4. Use a short-url using btc.to (idea from jan at InstaWallet.org)
  5. Make recieve address a text field, possible to copy from (idea from realnowhereman)
  6. Beign able to copy the instawallet address to clipboard (idea from michael)

Easy way to transfer from BitPay to your own computer/selling point/website or bookmark: Find a web qr generator and construct a bitcoin url scheme. E.g. I generated one of my addresses here with a (free?) service qrcode.kaywa.com:

qrcode

with the qr text "bitcoin:1NyAYep9L1o54kWnsUegD6npeXMDkAoXT8?amount=0.1&label=&message=".

Just put your address between "bitcoin:" and the "?".

You'll need the amount, label and message parameter or BitPay will crash (I'll file a bug :)

You can test some donations to me ;)

Idea 1. "Maybe have a QR-code on the ewallet, which you can scan, and when you have done that, the application will automatically transfer all bitcoins from that account to the phone." is now possible due to instawallet have now enabled QR-codes on the homepage.

Sligthly a more logic way of doing this, would probably be to scan the QR-code to add another instawallet account in bitpay application.

Comments?

Hmm, the qr-code on the instawallet homepage is great. I think that's enough....
