Bitfinger.org is a lookup service for bitcoin addresses. It is based on Webfinger, a micro-format to describe human readable identifiers like [email protected].
The solution can be used in many ways, with CORS headers and DKIM signature provided. These instructions utilize Dropbox anid Gmail for a simple setup.
To publish your bitcoin address following the Webfinger standard you need to follow these steps:
Create a file called webfinger.js in your Dropbox Public folder with this content:
{
"subject": "acct:[email protected]",
"links":
[
{
"rel": "bitcoin",
"href": "bitcoin:19xeDDxhahx4f32WtBbPwFMWBq28rrYVoh"
}
]
}make sure to replace email and bitcoin address in the example with yours.
Copy the public URL of this file. It should start like this 'https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/...' and end with .js. Make sure it's not just the web link, but the actual file.
Send an email from your Gmail account to [email protected] with this content:
webfist = https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/accountid/webfinger.js
Replace the link with the link from step 2.
Check http://webfist.org/ with your Gmail address and see if you can get a positive response.
Check https://bitfinger.org and see if you can get the bitcoin address back as a QR code.
