This is by far the easiest way to introduce someone to BitShares.

Well done! +5%

Yeah but it would be even better if you could use the site without creating an account. Hardcore bitcoin maximalists will look at the create account pages and see that as an excuse to close it and not bother to look at the exchange.

Also how can we be certain that the server hosting the wallet has not been hacked? Maybe we could have a robohash or something of all the site's html & js.
I agree, I would love to open it up.  It seems like low-hanging fruit.  Keep in mind, we need to make sure it is reliable before getting even more traffic.  I'm going to like this a lot more when it uses multiple servers....

I plan to package it as a plug-in so it can be versioned.. Chrome makes this easy so I would not have to sacrifice another feature to do it.  Firefox would be good too but I'm not sure if they support web site plugins yet.  A plugin will help protect private keys from a hacked server.  There is still a matter of server security where a hacked server could re-direct funds. 

A blockchain withdraw limit could help.  We could add a cold wallet creator and bring the hot wallet to the web.  That might be the more practical way to do it.  I know we do not support withdraw limits yet though.

It is called "lock" (upper right)

Nice!  +5%  I was able to register a new account as well as send and receive funds without any problems.  It's not quite as fast as the full client but damn fast!   8)
Question- whys the transaction fee set to 1+ BTS by default?

The default network fee now is .5 BTS.  So, I simply split it: .5 network fee and .5 for business expenses...

Btw, the auto-scrolling instruction text is very annoying. Just display all the info I need to read at once...

I would show it all at once but there is the matter of small screens.  I did that in a hurry, but my plan is to make the box locked in size so there will be no jumping in the screen.  Also, I would add an animation to it will slide from screen to screen.  Then I can remove those silly arrows...

Where is the private key stored at ?

If the server is down and never go back up , can I still control my funds ? How ?
Private keys are in the browser encrypted by the password.  The keys can be re-generated from the code in https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-js ...  I'm thinking about the best way to make a off-line recovery tool, either in the Qt wallet or perhaps as a stand-alone.  So please stick to the small amount rule until we have a scalable plan B in place.

UPDATE: I'm working on light-wallet compatible accounts

General Discussion / The BitShares Hosted Web Wallet is ready...

The beta web-site wallet is available.  Limit transactions to small amounts only please.

https://wallet.bitshares.org

If you want to grab a account name, it should be quite easy. Accounts are reserved on the public blockchain and are first-come first-serve... I think it will become quite useful to you as there are projects being developed based on BitShares for: voting, gaming, music. Then on the business side, SEC compliant stock offerings for companies (not just the large ones anymore).  Today, BitShares are used as money (market pegged assets), bearer shares (bitshares), and for its user issued assets (users issue there own shares).

You can register accounts with the wallet (if you send it some funds) or you may use the built-in faucet.  In both cases, the account is registered as a public account. 

For the newcomer: use a test transfer from any new source (line an exchange).  The technical explanation is: make sure that anyone sending to a public account is using a recent version of full-wallet (like 0.6.1) or using the light wallet or this hosted-wallet.  Older versions of the full client will send a private TITAN transaction instead of a public transaction.  A full-node will be required to recover the TITAN transaction should this happen.

Source code, bugs, requests, etc.. are hosted at: https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-js and https://github.com/BitShares/web_wallet

 +5%  Do we have a contact at openbazaar.org?

Just FYI, if you don't live here or enjoy reading US tax code...  As a contractor, estimated taxes are due by Jan 15 (not April 15).  April 15 is just when you reconcile ...  If you underpaid your estimated taxes it is not the end of the world but they may fine you.

I'm into investing in this, but not while bts is down from its peak. 

Wouldn't this be the best time to buy BTS!!  ;D

Ouch, I though this was the bunker-shares sound bytes .. sorry!  Yea, I'm holding all my BTS.  I'm very invested now.  Thanks.

Yea, that is great... I'm thinking how well he is at hiding all the complexity he is facing -ha!  I'm into investing in this, but not while bts is down from its peak.  This has peeked my interest.  I would use a market pegged asset too for the donations.

Google ads may scale better.  We should have an app for Facebook...

One day...   I'm just dreaming here... It'll be so cool to have a message format we can use in the mail system to advertise your intent to your direct friend or friends. Your friend could then be notified by their wallet when there's a match and elect to escrow the transaction automatically.  This would put you in touch directly with the other party.  Your friend would not even have to press the second button unless there was arbitration.
