Title: Blockchain.info Receive Payment API Post by: leckey on December 14, 2013, 11:25:22 AM Is it broken? I had a customer create an order last night (he actually placed two orders), but I never got the usual call-back from API. I emailed him directly to follow up with and this is what he said:
Quote I actually paid twice from 184E3KP4dtBDezVJBkQeYRyyTqcJNt43RF 12/13/2013 15:22 0.0002 fee 12/13/2013 15:21 0.0087 Sent to 1Ji3vfj9EhSWB1x7XwH3FFhrQg6Lsb1pCb txid 5bae1c7a7eb0fd22dffffd198727deb786c359abd13084521750099b1f81f3c3 12/13/2013 14:51 0.0001 fee 12/13/2013 14:51 0.0002214 Sent to 1JmiAUsEwrjKfE6fdPLhYmS6566fynxoz txid 93ffe88e395b30c330fdcfc25ecf8f6a5fd00d3ffb0ebb65510888f0308f2aa7 Any idea what's going on?

I have no experience with Blockchain.info's Receive Payment API, but people told me that they can fail or be slow. I'm thinking of using it to accept payments, but now I'm wary. Have you had bad experience with this? Title: Re: Blockchain.info Receive Payment API Post by: leckey on January 16, 2014, 06:26:32 PM It's really intermittent. It's not often that it doesn't work, but when it doesn't it's really infuriating. Especially if you tell customers they only need 1 network confirmation, then the api decides not to forward the transaction for 4 hours. At the end of the day though, it's probably the best of a bad bunch. No other real viable alternative. Coinbase's is buggy as hell too.
