I'm offering to install a gateway to allow any merchant to accept your crypto-currency as payment.
This will allow several merchants to easily accept your coin as payment, increasing the usability and price of that coin.
tl;drFor only
BTC0.85 worth you can offer a complete gateway to allow any merchant to receive your coin as payment.
I also include a fully working PHP code so merchants can implement it as easily as possible.
How it works- You get a server and install your coin's daemon on it.
- I install the gateway on your server and provide a sample PHP code for the user.
- Any user can use your gateway to accept your coin as payment. Your gateway will generate a new address for every user's transaction.
Once a payment is received, it will automatically forward the payment to the address the user specified and will instantly notify the user's server.
The system works similarly to blockchain.info's API (
https://blockchain.info/api/api_receive) so if a merchant is already implementing that to accept bitcoins
it will be extremely easy for them to start accepting your coin too.
While this system is similar to blockchain.info's, it's 100% my own code and it has an extra layer of security (added hashed signature to every notification, see Security below).
Here's the diagram of the final system:
Security- The code is PHP and MySQL so you can fully check it. However it's not open-source. You may not share it.
- It has the same security measures as blockchain.info's API. For example, it allows merchants to add a security key in the URL to be called by the gateway. This prevents false calls faking a payment. This security system can fail if the attacker intercepts the communication between the gateway and the merchant.
- Unique security: When the merchant asks for a new address, the gateways generates and sends a unique salt code which is saved by the merchant. Every call from the gateway to the merchant will be signed using that key.
- You can set up the number of confirmations before forwarding the funds and notifying the merchant to prevent double spends.
- The funds stay in your server only for a few minutes. It won't become the target of any hacker.
Working exampleYou can see a working example here:
https://api.captcoin.com/(Note:
Ticker and
Address is not included.)
It allows any merchant to integrate
CAPTcoin payments.
Easy to implement by the MerchantsI will include an open-source PHP sample code to allow merchants to easily implement the Gateway.
Here's an example:
https://github.com/CAPTcoin/receive_payment_php_demoWhich is running here:
https://api.captcoin.com/demo/Requirements- You need to provide a server.
- It must already run the daemon/wallet of your coin.
- You must provide a domain or subdomain (ex: api.yourco.in).
- Not required but highly recommended: You should have a trusted SSL certificate to enable HTTPS.
CostTemporarily for introduction the price is
BTC0.85.
This is a small investment for a great added feature for your coin.
50% must be sent before I start working and 50% when it's done.
Or 100% can be sent to a trusted escrow before I start working.
