Also, consider using SI prefixes. They are standard throughout the world (except America). Genjix 08:04, 10 January 2011 (GMT)
- SI/decimal is the inferior competition/enemy of the superior Tonal system. That is, to be avoided. (Chinese is a standard language throughout most of the world too! And whatever the currency of China is-- should we not use bitcoins??) Luke-jr 15:05, 10 January 2011 (GMT)
Can someone fix the name of the page? It's "Scheme", not "Schema". Luke-jr 15:35, 10 January 2011 (GMT)
- maybe even "URI scheme" to be more precise? since there can be many differenct schemes about stuff. :) --Nanotube 05:48, 12 January 2011 (GMT)
Fallback URI
On Android an app can register to open with a normal web URI. This has the advantage of acting as a fallback URI in case there is no app that supports bitcoin:. For example we could propose https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Send/<address>[?][amount=<size>][&][label=<label>][&][message=<message>]. If the user had a mobile app that supported bitcoin it would have registered https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Send/ and be launched. If the user did not have such an app their browser would launch and be directed to https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Send/. This page could then inform the user about various apps that support bitcoin transfers and possibly have a link to MyBitcoin as well. Maybe https://bitcoin.org/Send/ would be more appropriate, though that one might not be updated often enough.
- iPhone support
There is even a way to have this work on iOS devices. Have the web page redirect to the standard bitcoin: scheme. If an app is present to support this the app will launch, if not the browser the will stay open at the explanation page.
- Upshot
This fallback proposal will make bitcoin QR codes meaningful regardless of if the user has a bitcoin app installed.--BitMark 16:05, 2 April 2011 (GMT)
