Title: Writing universal bitcoin plugin for Wordpress - need community help! Post by: Tungsten on March 31, 2013, 02:03:29 PM Intro:
here's the Wordpress plugin I wrote recently allowing anyone to accept bitcoins as a payment method at their online stores: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bitcoin-payments-for-woocommerce/ It utilizes free WooCommerce online store plugin (to create inventory, shopping cart) as well as blockchain.info API and acts as a payment extension for it. Now I want to write another, more universal wordpress plugin that will allow anyone with a blog to accept bitcoin payments without relying on any third party service. To make it happen in a secure manner I want to utilize Electrum wallet's Master Public Key to generate "watch only" bitcoin addresses. (Very similar to acceptbit.com model - but i want this whole technology to be integrated within Wordpress plugin). This way if any hacker will get into merchant's website code or database - he couldn't steal anything - no private keys are stored anywhere. For that I need a little bit of a community help! The only stumbling block for me is to get the code for standalone function (preferably in PHP) that takes master public key and returns bitcoin address like this: $new_bitcoin_address = generate_bitcoin_address ($master_public_key); If anyone who is familiar with Electrum math could assist me in that - we'll have universal, open source, standalone solution for Wordpress allowing anyone to sell stuff and accept bitcoins with a click of a button. (Donations are welcome too of course Thanks! Gleb Title: Re: Writing universal bitcoin plugin for Wordpress - need community help!

It is building a complete turnkey bitcoin store for merchants - open source, free and free to host. I am using a combination of WordPress + ecwid cart + bitpay merchant gateway + Heroku or other WP hosting. It is very easy to setup, free for up to 10 products and I'm building a store-wizard that will take a store name and launch it all for you The goal: Non-technical user => mini bitcoin store in less than an hour, for free.
