What you are looking for is Coinsimple.

Well I'd say it depends if Coinsimple is okay with the products or services you want to sell with their solution:

The users agree not to publish, post, upload, distribute, provide or enter any material or information that is illegal, unlawful or can be regarded as fraudulent, libelous, malicious, threatening, offensive, profane, obscene, fanning ethnic or racial tensions, immoral or any such information which any reasonable person would consider objectionable on grounds of good conscience.

Also this is in their privacy policy:

The Site may track the total number of visitors to our Site, the number of visitors to each page of our Site, browser type, and IP addresses, and we may analyze this data for trends and statistics[...]

And this is in addition to the fact that they are most probably also able to link all your customers' email addresses with their bitcoin transactions.



The TOS you noted applies to website use, not the plugin. Bitcoin payments go straight to your wallet. Since Bitcoin Payments for WooCommerce stopped working reliably it is also the only direct to wallet bitcoin payment plugin available. Don't like it? Don't use it or go with BitPay et al which cost more, have onerous KYC requirements to register and are very invasive of your privacy.

Hi all,
I've been using Bitcoin Payments for WooCommerce, version: 3.12 for my website for a while and it was working fine until few weeks ago. I decided to look around in case I find anything better..Is anybody using any other wordpress plugin for BTC payments with woocommerce?

Thanks

What you are looking for is Coinsimple. Grab it while it is still free to use.

I have tried them all and wound up going back to AdSense.

Yes. I'm using Adsense. Thi is the best.

But my topic is about Bitcoin Ad Betworks.

I'm choosing the ads I will use together with Adsense.

I have not found a bitcoin ad network that pays as well as AdSense so makes no sense to use valuable space on website yet maybe later.

The Adsense rules let you put up to 3 ads in your page. There are a lot of empty spots in my page. I just want to make it more profitable.

Quality not quantity. Rule of thumb is not to display more than two banner ads per page or you risk alienating your readers, so you need the best paying ads.
2924  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do I need a wallet on my computer if I have a Trezor or Keep Key ? on: October 06, 2015, 11:34:27 AM
seem unnecessary in my opinion Trezor already more than enough to save your bitcoin.

with trezor. you cant just press a button on the device while walking around town to send a TX.
you cant even just plug it into any random persons computer and use it instantly, you need to download the browser extension and log in.. which is a security weakness. (imagine a virus that can detect a trezor/webextension and replace it with a malicious version to send funds to them blackhat instead of the address the user types in)

i think phone app wallets are pretty much on par with a trezor.. no better, no worse. however we are still in the innovation stage and things will get better and more independent, away from third party services

You do not have to use the Chrome extension with the myTrezor.com web wallet, as Trezor supports 5 other wallets like Electrum or Multibit HD. Trezor (also Ledger) are the only secure ways to send bitcoin from your phone using Mycelium.

ok i've roled the dice and taken a 10 Tera Hash/9 BTC contract today. As you can see i'm not a newbie so hopefully if I tell you they are paying you will be able to trust what i'm saying.
I'll keep you informed....

Edit: 1st payment received on time and as expected: Total Received    0.096198 BTC (93 day ROI)

I've dedicated an address to tracking their payments, so you can verify for yourself's if you want: 15N7oFL4Fmn7hSwtNwG6uUA1Lmot1XGqs2

Any senior member has been around long enough to know 3 month ROI is impossible with legitimate hosted bitcoin mining e.g. Hashnest. Combine the lucrative affiliate program, no public mining address or photos and it is cloudminr or bitcoin cloud services all over again.

Can anyone point to the similar opensource solutions ?

Only solutions I am aware of are Bitcoin Payments for Woocommerce, which is reported to be unstable and not supported well and CoinSimple. Another resource would be welcome I think, good luck.
2927  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: New transaction malleability attack wave? Another stresstest? on: October 05, 2015, 10:03:58 PM
So is malleability attack still under way? I have a friend that had to move coins very urgently, he has just called me and asked me what's wrong and what should he do.

His transaction is not showing up on the other side.

Thanks guys!

Supposedly you can check if the attack is on at Satoshi - Transactios third chart down. Right now the attack is off per the chart.

2930  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Genesis-Mining Review on: October 05, 2015, 03:20:05 PM
but even when bitcoin goes to 190usd i got 0.0008 payout

but why they suddenly increased maintenance fee and scam people

also no reply from support 2 times sent mail.

They didnt increase the maintenance fee...I have contracts from that time period myself and it says in my contracts 0.02 USD per 10GH/s per day which is eqv to 2 USD per 1TH/s.



Bro today mining income for 1 TH is 0.00854646 before maintenance fee its value is  0.00854646 * 236 = 2.0169 USD

so your maintenance fee as per your calculation 2 USD / TH =  2.0169 - 2 USD = 0.0169 cents. Like 0.00007 BTC  (almost Zero ) bitcoin Dead


Mining income is always an average on a calculator...Its not a fixed amount...Plus calculators show different results
For example you post those figures above but on another calculator it will have 1TH/s as paying out 0.00827 BTC per 1TH/s per day.
Look for examples Antpools daily payouts.....Up and down, up and down... like a rollercoaster.

Unfortunately because Genesis Mining do not give out pool and block info we never get to see what the actual payout is per 1TH/s which would be great as would really help us all out when we calculate. I am just trying to explain why your payouts are zero and that it is not a scam.

Just like with Hashnest with their S2 and Umisoos contracts terminating. Why??..same reason....Payouts were less than the fees. The S3s will be next and at the next difficulty change will most likely go Bye Bye too if the BTC / USD price stays at the same level.

Someone will come along shortly to write about how you can sell your hashpower on Hashnest which is a good thing but to be honest right now. Who would be wanting to buy your S3 hashpower off you knowing its going to go bye byes very soon and if you can manage to sell it, you will probably get so little for it anyway.

For myself, i cannot choose Genesis-Mining any more because they even cannot give me their transparency from Mining Pool.
And i cannot sell my hashing power back, i bounded with their contract.

My review for Genesis-Mining: Not Transparent & Almost Not Profitable


Glad you saw the light. I have been shooing people away from Genesis Mining since I started blogging but they still seem to be able to appeal to noobs who do not research before they buy. I also warned my readers to stand aside from Hashnest back in the middle of August once rumours of the new S7 were confirmed. Anyone following the internal charts in Hashnest would have seen the downtrends and sold all their hash whatever the flavour. S7 will start trading this weekend and we will be following closely so we can advise our readers when the time to buy is ripe.

2931  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I successfully double spended $400 of Bitcoin today on: October 05, 2015, 02:58:58 PM
-snip-
OK thanks, I will try to restrain from sending any transactions then until this doesn't get patched. I don't need any trouble honestly at the moment.

As the fix is complicated it might not be fixed on the protocol level. Whether or not individual wallets get a patch to deal with this I cant tell. I would suggest you wait for a single confirmation whenever you send or receive coins before you create another TX. If your wallet is confused after the first confirmation. Let it restore its database from the blockchain. E.g. Multibit HD calls it "repair wallet", bitcoin core calls it "-zapwallettxes", for blockchain.info and other services a short message to support should do it, etc.

If i understand things correctly, there's no 'new' coins being made from this attack?

That is correct. Its not even that the coins go somewhere else, its just the identifier for the transaction the TX ID is changed, nothing else.

Thanks for this! Because myTrezor.com can not gracefully handle the duplicate transactions Trezor users are reporting being unable to spend from their myTrezor.com wallet. Switching to Multibit HD is a good temporary solution until Trezor support patches myTrezor.com. I do not know of any other wallet Trezor is compatible with that has a repair function.

Coinkite says they solved the problem for their users "... As of today, all deposits into Coinkite accounts must receive one confirmation before we will use them in a new transaction. We have deployed new code that tracks these modified transactions, and when they get confirmed into blocks, we retroactively adjust our records and continue with the new transaction number in effect." Coinbase also says their customers are no longer affected I imagine they did the same.
2933  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do I need a wallet on my computer if I have a Trezor or Keep Key ? on: October 05, 2015, 02:29:44 AM
If you have a new Android phone that has USB Host (OTG) enabled you can just use Mycelium wallet on your phone and hook Trezor to the phone using an OTG cable to sign transactions. Best of all worlds, portable and highly secure bitcoin transactions. You cannot do this with KeepKey. If friends ask me if they should buy a Case wallet I tell them to spend the $200 on a new phone (if they need one to get OTG) and buy a Trezor. Oh, and forget iPhone.
2934  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: OVERVIEW: BITCOIN HARDWARE WALLETS █████████████████ Secure your Coins on: October 05, 2015, 02:21:14 AM
just wondering which ones are easier to get within the EU

Both Trezor and Ledger ship from EU.
2935  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do I need a wallet on my computer if I have a Trezor or Keep Key ? on: October 04, 2015, 11:46:07 PM
I'm trying to understand how these work.  From what I understand so far the Trezor or KeepKey contain a "private key" that's used to sign a transaction.

I watched a couple of videos but most just show how the devices operate and don't give a high level view of what each actually does.

Can someone explain to me how this works in a few more words.  Does the Trezor or KeepKey generate a wallet address for example.  Also I understand if I lose either then I can restore if I know a set of words.  But how does that actually work?

Here is a link to the Trezor User Manual. You should read it carefully.
2936  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Which will be the first country who will accept bitcoin ? on: October 04, 2015, 06:53:37 PM
witch country do you thing will be the first who will accept bitcoin official money as payment?

As you can see in this scheme (sheet 2), the highest density of venues accepting Bitcoin are in Tampa and Kansas City, both USA.
In general, USA also has the highest number of users and venues on all territory.
Despite intuition, poor countries are not the first users that will gain access.
Poor countries have problems in buying a smartphone or a pc.
Other factors are more important, like tech savvy percent of population in example (that's why US is on top, together with Europe and other country with good income and instruction).
But I think that there will not be a real "first nation" adopting Bitcoin.
It will be a slow and steady adoption together in USA and Europe first probably, and following other countries like Argentina, Brasil, Mexico, countries that are not too poor but not rich either, and that have problems with their currency. The ones that are at high inflation but where population CAN actually buy a pc or a smartphone without collapsing.
A good case to examine is Greece: it's in Europe, it's not too poor, but despite this Bitcoin adoption in there is very very low. I think this is due exactly to poor pc penetration in the country: people are afraid of this "computer money" they can't understand, so they need more bashing before go and learn what Bitcoin really is.

Thanks for this. Would not think of Kansas City and Tampa as major centers for bitcoin venues.
2937  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: New transaction malleability attack wave? Another stresstest? on: October 04, 2015, 05:04:36 PM
I had to restore wallet from seed on another device then create new trezor wallet to send the funds there. Annoying...
Any suggestions?

Well, my only suggestion now is to use a different wallet because the trezor is not currently able to rescan its transaction and ignore the 0 confirmation duplicated tx.

Regarding your sentiment to "pay to third party banks and use your national currency", no thank you I will choose to be a victim!

If myTrezor.com is currently not able to handle the duplicate transactions gracefully what wallet are you using with your Trezor and how well is it working?
2938  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: KeepKey Wallet - anyone using this? on: October 04, 2015, 03:09:01 PM
Price seems cheap and also the design with touchscreen feature is amazing in the screenshot. They are new and i don't think anybody have got a copy of it till now. I have checked on their website and found warranty of 1 year, which is also nice for that price. But i doubt it will be easy to get warranty on online purchased items.

From my side, price seems reasonable and warranty shows their confidence on product.

You just said you think it would be hard to get the warranty honored, why does this bode as a positive or show a sign of their "confidence on product"? According to you it doesn't!

I think $240 is expensive, but it is priced at about the same rate as Case.

I don't know why would you give 2.5 times more money for something like this that is new and still unproven, when you can buy a Trezor for $99 which is already very proven and I would bet the safest hardware wallet out there.

I have same opinion about the case that is just being shipped to the people. Ok these wallets are sleeker looking than Trezor, but they are definitely not safer.

This is a good point, we should discuss what's different between this, Case, and Trezor! How are these wallets (KeepKey and Case) NOT as safe as Trezor?

KeepKey is very handsome but is after all just a fork of Trezor. At present it is not as capable as Trezor: the number of wallets it works with is limited and it will not work with any wallet on your phone. I would hold off investing in a KeepKey at least until the developer upgrades the firmware so it can work with Mycelium on your Android phone. KeepKey is certainly as secure as Trezor.

Case is being criticized for using an insecure fingerprint scanner. Also if you do not opt to save the recovery key yourself during setup of the Case there is the remote possibility Third Key Solutions could conspire with Case, or be forced by authorities to give up your recovery key. With two of your three keys there go your bitcoin. I am not keen about any hardware wallet that stores keys outside of your possession.

Really Trezor is still the most capable and trusted hardware wallet. Ledger is cheaper but there are some concerns about security, without care your seed could be stolen by malware during setup.

It is more than just a nuisance. One user has already reported that the malleability attack disabled his online myTrezor.com wallet: he was unable to spend from the wallet and had to restore from seed to a different wallet.

When u say 'disabled', does it means his wallet is taking a long time to sync?

He said he was unable to send bitcoin from the wallet.
