Bump.

That's why it's better to unchecked the autocomplete receiver, because pasting sometimes the autocomplete selecting a different account name.

Would it be possible to allow creating verified accounts? For example, by having to prove ownership of a domain an account claims to be associated with?

Someday I'm sure this post will be legend. Like the 10,000 BTC pizza.

Another one sent 100 000 BTSX!

Who are all these people sending 100 000 BTSX as easy as all that.. If my account alone has collected 200k BTSX by now, imagine how many wrong sends there have been in total. The majority probably to bad actors.

I suggest at least that the exchanges have their robot on full display.

With DEPOSIT LINKS!!!

Wow. Even if that were the correct address, who is naive enough to think that Bter credits it to their account there?

+5% Glad we have guys like Clains in the world.

Bitcoin had a guy who paid $5 million for some pizza. Clains might be the guy who gave $5 million back that was sent to the wrong address :)

I can see sending to the wrong name being a big problem in the future. How can bitshares protect against this? My registered name for one only has 4 letters. Maybe the addition of a secret answer for the transaction or associated password?

I personally believe many online businesses and in future even my local restaurant/hardware store/plumber/individual users, when it comes time to pay by BTSX or BitUSD would prefer an account name that matches their business/taste and they would be willing to pay a small premium for it.

In my opinion that should be done using BitShares DNS. We can have our own version of BIP 0070 where we use the BDNS authentication capabilities rather than X.509 certificates, and instead of the merchant passing a unique payment address to the customer, they give the customer's client their BTSX account name and a short code to automatically include in the memo of the transaction(s).

Sounds good and I guess in the real world you wouldn't interact with the actual BTSX account name via point of sale devices either.
A good account name/email address is still desirable imo, but not a necessity unlike a web address.

However I don't see the downside to charging $0.1-0.25 for a BTSX account name myself.
