Title: How can my store accept Bitcoins??? What a lot of trouble - experiences inside Post by: cm68jd on January 28, 2013, 11:51:52 PM I am trying to find a way to accept bitcoins with Magento commerce. I have very simple needs. I want the customer to be presented with the bitcoin amount and receive a receiving address and then I want the payment status to update to paid once the bitcoins have been received. I have tried 3 solutions and each one fails:
So, my question is... Is there a service that easily allows a company to accept bitcoins (no conversion into another currency necessary) for the Magento platform? There has to be a company out there that does this right. If not, Title: Re: How can my store accept Bitcoins???

What a lot of trouble - experiences inside Post by: cm68jd on January 29, 2013, 02:52:22 AM I created an account on acceptbit.com, but could not find any API that could be used in interfacing this with a shopping cart, so that things are done in an automated fashion.
Do you know of any services that provide an API to generate deterministic keys / check the confirmed balance of specific keys? I have found https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BitcoinNotify which provides potential solutions for half the problem (more are welcome). So, the main problem is how to create bitcoin keys. The ghetto method would be to create a million keys with the main client and just keep them in a database and not reuse them. However, I would prefer to create keys on the fly as needed. Is there a service that has an API to create electrum compatible deterministic keys? Or is there some PHP code that can do it? |
