Title: Alternative for block.io services
Post by: leftover_potato on June 25, 2018, 02:34:29 PM
Good day guys,

I would like to know if there is another alternative for wallet api for bitcoin? Currently i'm using block.io but i am not convinced with their services and security. i was planning to use coinbase's BTC wallet api.

I hope to hear from you masters if there is any alternatives that I should try as a backup just incase block.io one day decides to go down... just need alternative BTC wallet API...

Thank you!!!! ;D ;D ;D

You can use blockchain api or coinbase. In my opinion, should choose services that have a large user and good ecosystems!

hello there, thanks for the reply!

yes i am convinced with coinbase wallet API, but i factored in the "what IF" it goes down and my business will stop working. Hence, looking for alternatives... ;D

when u mentioned blockchain api, it only caters to BTC only right? Any other API that is more flexible in terms of supporting more coins? ;D

TQ!

i know they  also have ETH wallet but i don't know  whether their API supports it also or not.
you can always use ShapeShift API though. https://info.shapeshift.io/ it is not a wallet but it is a good service to change cryptos fast and easy. you can still receive everything in bitcoin but accept altcoins through ShapeShift. the user pays the altcoin, the site changes that to bitcoin and gives it to you.
