Title: Blockchain.info API alternatives
Post by: sant0s80 on March 24, 2014, 09:58:19 AM
I've been using Blockchain receive API for a while now but lately it is not working for unknown reasons.

I am looking for exact same thing to do (with callback url and custom parameters). So, anything that will help me receive payments without any extra verifications etc.

Thanks

You can also use api from bitcoin directly. Just host bitcoin on server and receive payments directly.

Any more information?


EDIT: I've installed bitcoind on my dedicated and now have no idea what next :) Using this the same way as wallet or what? I understand I will have to use jsonRPCClient for PHP communication but I am not clear with the account/address idea still.

I have submitted a ticket and they are looking into it.

btc forward and callback now takes 15 to 30 min 10 hours and callback also comes after even longer period

i bet a lot of people need that type of service

edit: it is very unstable now. minimum what I see is half an hour, sucks...

It would be good if only half an hour but yesterday and today for a payment it takes more than 6 hours!
The worst part is when their whole server stuck few days ago I lost money (payments never forwarded and still no answer from them)! Disaster.
