QR Code T-Shirt Automated System

Should this thread be moved into the public side of the forum? I would like to see this idea become fully fleshed out. It could be a serious funds raiser.

Well I wasn’t sure if we should wait until we have a basic run through for the QR code stuff and make it look more like a real website than just some random code that it look like now and we could get it into the Newsletter?

And a big unveiling on a post?

Id want to have plenty content on the site before we went live too. Although its all on zazzle.co.uk anyway so in theory we could get sales.

But yes there are lots of ideas for raising funds for FTC and we really should be exploring them all. The more funds we can raise the better position we are in really.

Is the QR function close?

The qr function is done. it’s just not in the main version. it has it’s own sub version of the wallet…

I couldn’t imagin it would be hard to put in the qr function we we fork to neo.

MrWyrm

No, the QR address T-shirt wallet thingy. Like the T-shirt you have, only automated :)

kris_davison

Yeah it works but it looks awful

MrWyrm

Top work. ;D

Will it be possible to create a version with the logo in the QR centre?

kris_davison

Well that’s the question. I have no idea how to do that I ended up using googles qr generator as the one in the API does not work. I started looking online for a library but didn’t find much? If anyone knows of an API I’d be happy to do that/

MrWyrm

I have a feeling you will need to render everything including the logo before passing it through to the template. I’ll do some research.

Would this help?

kris_davison

Yeah or I found this

Except obviously its not a watermark

MrWyrm

have a look at the one I linked, because you can set the number of pixels, which is ideal.

Demo here.

I’ve looked but I’m not really sure how it works? Plus I’m not particularly great with JavaScript. Sorry to disappoint :(

I’m sure it can be done I’ll ask the web guy at work tomorrow see if he can figure it out :)

oh oh oh…

I didn’t read whole thread :/

If there was an automated system for sending out your shirts, it would be amazing!

That’s why I’ve roped Kris in. He’s the man. ;)

MrWyrm

It’s quite neat, after you have generated your QR code, clicking it uploads it to imgur. Could it be picked up from there for feeding into the API?

very cool idea. this needs to be on the list of projects we should aim to achieve after the neoscrypt change.

MrWyrm

Calem, do you have a picture of your T-shirt?

sure 1 sec
