BithompID - a username for XRP address

[Warbler]

Bithomp launches a new service: BithompID - a username for your XRP address.

https://bithomp.com/username

For 10 XRP (Thank you for supporting the Bithomp project) you're getting a username assigned to your XRP address.

- Old rippletrade usernames are reserved (you can't register them)

- You'll be able to check your account by entering username in the search field on Bithomp

- You will have a short link like https://bithomp.com/explorer/vbuterin 

- The username will be shown in transaction view on Bithomp explorer when someone send/receive a payment to/from you. 

- It's only possible to register a username for your own accounts you're in full control of. Don't try to register a username for your hosted accounts on Poloniex, Bitso etc.

- API for usernames will be published soon on Bithomp. 

As usually with love from Bithomp, hope you like it  

Thank you for all your support!

We also have such service for testnet addresses, you pay with 10 testnet xrp, so it's free. It's nice to use for developers! (hotwallet, coldwallet, marketmaker, user1, user2 etc)

TESTNET: https://test.bithomp.com/username

Is this just for convenience or is this an alias that can be used for transactions?

For now it's just makes it easier to check your balances/transactions in our explorer, as you only need to memorise your username.

Soon we publishing an API, which can be used by wallets to make transactions, where username can be converted to an address.

Take a closer look. It's the Vetinari Coat of Arms, intentionally black. 😁

Our new API endpoint is documented! https://bithomp.com/dev#user  Query to get new Bithomp or old Rippletrade usernames.

Hi @Warbler do you know of any way (that do not require engineer skills) to remove or replace old rippletrade usernames?

 

Your tools are great I use them all the time

It's hard to remove it from internet, as even if ripple will drop their api with usernames, some services (like ours) will have usernames saved in own databases. 

If you want to remove it on bithomp, let our support now, we are thinking to change the usernames implementation to make them possible to delete/change with some time limitations.
