Title: Are there any APIs worth making?
Post by: Coin Dropper on July 02, 2018, 11:22:52 AM
I am planning to make multiple APIs for bitcoin but seems that most of them are pretty worthless and niche APIs. Is there any API that you want to be made and would be pretty popular?


Note: I am currently making an API for receiving bitcoin payments like https://www.blockchain.com/en/api/api_receive

There is no lack in APIs honestly but If you're planning to provide something better when it comes to request limits, features, and competitive rates then people will definitely use it.

Definitely there is! Most of the existing API's revolve around sending/receiving bitcoins, checking balances, trading and other stuff. I don't recollect seeing an API which helps implement a bitcoin mixer and is used by many. Private services don't make their API's accessible to everyone. I'm sure you will find a lot of similar projects which needs a public API.

Bitcoin mixer is pretty easy to make but the problem is capital. Don't you need both trust and funds which both I don't have in order to start a bitcoin mixer?

The trust is something you'll gain by time I guess but as for the funds then yes, you'll need a decent amount to start with.

How much do you think I will need to start a bitcoin mixer? 5 BTC or something near that?
