I hope there is a standard for every client developer, but unfortunately, no standard. so i made this rule:
Alias: yueye
Uri: nxter:acc=5693933960808456307&img=bbyk.sinaapp.com/snake.png
And we can add more, like
nxter:acc=5693933960808456307&img=bbyk.sinaapp.com/snake.png&email=xxx@gmail.com&tel=12334555
A while back, someone (c-f-b?) mentioned putting json entries into aliases. Has anybody looked into how this might work?
As an example, I have put this into the 'notsoshifty' alias:
{"web":"http://www.notsoshifty.de/","fb":"notsoshifty","twitter":"notsoshifty","nxtacct":"11111125831111116332","smtp":"notsoshifty111@example.com","skype":"notsoshifty1971"}
Or, easier to read:
{
"web" : "http://www.notsoshifty.de/",
"nxtacct" : "11111125831111116332",
"smtp" : "notsoshifty111@example.com",
"skype" : "notsoshifty1971",
"twitter" : "notsoshifty",
"fb" : "notsoshifty"
}
So the idea would be that if "nxt:notsoshifty" was entered into a browser, the browser extension would fetch the alias, look for the 'web' entry, and go to that URL (
http://www.notsoshifty.de/). A nxt client would look for the 'nxtacct' entry if it was in reference to making a payment; an email client would look for 'smtp', etc.
Ferment: if you think this is a good idea, perhaps you could modify the 22k.io site (and browser extensions?) to check for json and act accordingly? (It should also support the existing method of course). Also anybody who might be developing nxt clients using aliases as account numbers.
This 750+ page thread isn't the best place to discuss it as all history quickly gets lost. Later this evening I'll open a thread in one of the other forums and put some information there.
