Title: Blockchain API address forwarding not forwarding to my address for payment.
Post by: Maidak on September 05, 2013, 05:08:39 AM
So I just recently had a customer send a payment to a blockchain forward address and its not moving i'm wondering what the issue is with it heres the transaction ID https://blockchain.info/address/1CsuiECM2Dafov1zcCzeZAouKzz9jH8RTR (https://blockchain.info/address/1CsuiECM2Dafov1zcCzeZAouKzz9jH8RTR) I've never really see them sit in there for any longer then 2 confirmations before the btc is forwarded, does anyone know what could possibly be causing this? He sent the payment through bitstamp.

How do you get a forward address? Or is it a shared address?

Its just generating a receiving address from the API and forwarding it to the destination address I just did a small test one myself and still not getting the btc they are stuck in the generated receiving address.

https://blockchain.info/address/19JuWmyrh57yKu7Hirw5dwCxYceAT8UWE7 heres the one I just did and its got 3 confirmations already its suppose to release after 1.

It looks like the coins eventually got forwarded after 33 confirmations. Perhaps blockchain.info's forwarding service runs on a schedule? Or maybe you misconfigured the API call?

I think Blockchain.info has been glitchy. He did not say that it was his first time trying.

Sorry to ask a question on this old post but
still not getting the btc they are stuck in the generated receiving address.

I got the same problem :

I send for 1Nwresb7UmiMwWMKnBeWrb3D1GCp7mhXKc
to  198RQwe9neQPk7TWC7Q6YHHENrN7MrhL2S 0.001 BTC (generated adress by Blockchain)

Transaction => https://blockchain.info/fr/tx/8f272ad67272da58ec2d0c9554c4e5767f18e75c54a72399d5fc89270b896a78

No forwarding :-(

BTC still in the transition address : https://blockchain.info/fr/address/198RQwe9neQPk7TWC7Q6YHHENrN7MrhL2S

That's too little, its ddos especially because they pay the fee

They say  (https://blockchain.info/fr/api/api_receive) :
"The minimum supported transaction size is 0.001 BTC. Forwarding transactions will include a network fee paid by blockchain.info. "

and also

The minimum transaction size is 0.0005 BTC. There is no maximum payment or any other limitations.


Do you used the forwarding ?

I finally got my BTC  !!!!!

But it's slow (2 Hours and half)

History :
2014-01-30 15:49:52  - 0.001 BDC send from my Wallet to Generated address
2014-01-30 15:49:52  - Transaction appears in BlockChain at 2014-01-30 15:49:52 (Transaction : 8f272ad67272da58ec2d0c9554c4e5767f18e75c54a72399d5fc89270b896a78  (https://blockchain.info/fr/tx/8f272ad67272da58ec2d0c9554c4e5767f18e75c54a72399d5fc89270b896a78) - Source : 1Nwresb7UmiMwWMKnBeWrb3D1GCp7mhXKc  -      Destination : 198RQwe9neQPk7TWC7Q6YHHENrN7MrhL2S)

2 hours and half later

Transaction appears in BlockChain at  2014-01-30 18:23:52
2014-01-30 18:23:52  - Transaction appears in BlockChain 
2014-01-30 18:23:52  - My URL Callback is called with 0 confirmation  (and respons "bad" to receive other confirmations)
2014-01-30 18:28:34  - My URL Callback is called with 25 confirmations  (and respons "*ok*" to stop api callback)

I run a site making it easy for users to use
Seems interesting.
Could you explain the concept of "Shared  (Coins will be mixed increasing privacy)" ?

They probably waited for big enough inputs

It's like a mixer.

Yeah, I've emailed them before on this, they said they will upgrade their api in the future.
