Pull Request Submitted - BlockTrades "Buy" links updated to use the currently logged in user's account name
In pull request 1507 I added new links to the Steemit.com wallet, so users can now buy SBD directly from their wallet, as well as sell STEEM and SBD from their wallet using the BlockTrades.io interface. This pull request was accepted by Steemit, and is already live on the site!
As I was working on the pull request, I asked @blocktrades if there was a way for me to pass a username to the interface, to have it automatically set the "Your receive address" value to the user buying the STEEM/SP/SBD. They said it was not currently supported, but it was something they could easily add. Within a few days, they messaged me to let me know they had made the change!
There is now a URL that you can pass a receive_address to, and it will automatically set the value to that address when the user goes to the page:
https://blocktrades.us/?receive_address=timcliff&input_coin_type=btc&output_coin_type=steem
I just submitted a new pull request to update the "Buy" links for STEEM, SP, and SBD, so that when a user clicks "Buy" it will automatically set the "Receive Address" to their account name. This will make it easier for users to buy STEEM/SP/SBD, since they will not have to worry about mistyping their account name!
The pull request can be viewed here:
https://github.com/steemit/condenser/pull/1546
The PR is not accepted yet, but I plan to work with Steemit, Inc. to make any edits necessary to get it approved. Hopefully we will see the changes up on the live site soon!

Great stuff! This is one less thing I need to cut and paste, then triple check, before I send more of my sweet, sweet crypto-bucks to Steemit!
Thank you for this information. I also have tried your suggestion as your last post about how to sell SBD and Steem on blocktrades. That is usefully and easier to trade without using bittrex or poloniex. Nice! :)
I agree. I have started using them for all my STEEM/SBD buy/sell transactions.
Great post, I used the blocktrades interface a couple of times last week and love how it works. Any addition to enhance the already good functionality is a bonus.
@timcliff, thanks for the update... that's a really great addition to the Steemit/Steem "ecosystem!" Thanks for all your hard work!

Thanks!
will need to try it Thanks
Just FYI, the new change that I just posted about is not 'live' yet. The pull request still needs to be reviewed and (hopefully) accepted by Steemit before it will be on the live site. The previous PR that I submitted though (to buy SBD, as well as sell STEEM, SP, and SBD) is already live.
Blocktrades is thing i haven't tried out yet, but after all this whats happening with garbage Polo. I def going for this.
We need BlockTrades and we need Steemit!!!
