When someone wishes to make a purchase, without FirstBits, they either have to type out their address laboriously by hand, scan their QR code (which requires a mobile handset that this author does not own) or find their address on the internet to copy and paste into the client to send bitcoins. FirstBits alleviates this impracticality by providing an easy method to make payments.

    As far as I can tell from the commit history of this repository, this link was always broken. Rather than assigning it a destination that may or may not match the BIP Champion’s intention, it would be preferable to remove the link altogether.

    Good point. I have emailed the BIP Champion for his input and asked him to review this PR.

    The email bounced. Now what?

    I would suggest to just remove the link and leave it at the link text:

    I’m typing this in the “Finish your review” box that appeared when the drop-down button is clicked on the [Review changes] button.

    I’m slowly learning git by way of using it as I go. I believe this is my first time ever using the [Review changes] functionality in github, so my apologies if I’m not doing something right here.
