A complete dumb post ! they are just looking for buzz and audience, surfing on the wave ...

From a technical point, there's no relation between a domain name (hashocean.com) and it's datacenters ... but i guess if someone goes asking the initial domain registrar (before the domain got sold) for identity of the domain name buyer .. this would be a first step into identifying who's behind HO.

While using bitcoind json rpc api, is there anyway to get a callback when an address receives a transaction ? or should i keep polling the api asking for new transactions ? if the latter, i guess i'll do too much i/o traffic when waiting for transactions from 200 users ...

any recommendation for a good hosting with such a disk space ? and i guess i dont need too much cpu as you do, did you take such config after studying your requirements ?

I see people running bitcoind on beaglebones with 512 ram, they say it's working, so am trying to calibrate the best config with the right cost for me ...

I actually run a hosting company (which is currently under re-development and in the future will be creating custom cryptocurrency imaged servers for renting). This was just a spare VPS I had for testing but I'll be using this to collect data off in the future.

What about sizing ? how much resources (ram, cpu and disk) you allocate for bitcoind ?


For the test bitcoind system I run, i have it on a 4GB, 100GB and a 3.1 GHz (4 vCores) VPS. I could collect some statistics if you like give you an idea of usage.

Hi,

I want my users to deposit btc funds into their accounts on my website, am exploring 2 ways to do it:

  • Embedding bitcoind into my server: most trustable, but needs 80Gb Disk and 2G of ram for it, and python libs are complex/undocumented
  • Relying on blockchain.info wallet api: simple and quick time-to-market, but they are slow at reponding to my request for an api key access

What do you think guys ?

I use bitcoind for my projects, if you build your system correctly you are only relying on yourself no other third party (Maybe besides the VPS provider). This is the only way I would do it with any project now for the future as I know we have complete control over usage.

From what i can see on block.io, it's not possible to have webhooks on payment reception unless i go on a paid plan (30$ / month), am i right ?

I used the block.io api in a project recently, pretty easy to use.
Also they only use multi-signature addresses for added security which is nice.
Check it out: http://block.io/api

@cloverme using bitcoind has extra footprint on server (ram & disk), this is not good for small to average size projects ..

I think am going to rely on block.io

What are you using for bitcoinstarter.com by the way ?

Avoid blockchain.info, they have some limits on API access and they've had a lot of security issues in the past.  Be very careful with handling Bitcoins on behalf of other people. If you're using a virtual private server, consider some of the following:
  • You may exceed disk i/o with some providers when storing/accessing the blockchain on your server
  • Disable root access for remote access (ssh, etc). Create a low-priv account. Create an rsa-key pair for root.
  • Enable whole disk encryption (remember to backup, could impact performance)
  • Don't use a hot wallet, allow users to deposit funds into offline wallet that's air gapped or paper wallet. Monitor addresses for deposits.
  • Don't keep any wallet on the same system as your webserver or database, encrypt the traffic between your web services and your wallet.
  • Backup, backup, backup, encrypt, encrypt, encrypt.
  • Use Qualys to scan your system for vulnerabilities
  • Review best practices over at for manging cryptocurrency https://cryptoconsortium.org/standards/CCSS

Hi !

I'm willing to provide a simple "Add fund" button where my user will get a QR code and the address to copy/paste and proceed to payment from his own wallet, do you think i must rely on some kind of payment gateway ? because i see the blockchain.info api good enough for such a feature.

This is a ponzi scam and why are you posting in this old thread mate.
Because i'm working on an auction platform where users can bid to buy btc, so were looking at past experiences ...
114  Economy / Gambling / Re: SATOSHI BID | WHERE TIME IS MONEY on: March 28, 2016, 08:33:20 AM
