As Patatas already stated, the API of blockchain.info is good for your case. Another option is Coinbase. The service also offers an API which you could easily implement in your website to receive payments. The advantage over blockchain.info is that you can transfer the received Bitcoin(s) directly into fiat money, if destired.

Here's the link to the coinbase API https://developers.coinbase.com/
To add to this Bitpay also offers a similar API and can be cashed out to multiple currencies https://bitpay.com/ , if your site was made from one of multiple pre-made carts or other types of popular site software they may already have a plugin for you to use.

simple answer, the value also go up recently, and the diff only follow the increase plus correction, so it's normal to see the same prof it

Depends how you quantify your profit, USD sure, BTC not really.
@OP, if you're talking about difficulty changes in April, they already happened and the network has adjusted to it.
If you're talking about a less than 14 days span, it will adjust accordingly with some predictability soon.
If you're talking about the future (>14 days), it's speculation.
Most cloud mining sites base earnings off of PPS which is determined by difficulty. If difficulty goes up your PPS earnings go down, if they charge a maintenance fee then yes the value of BTC then plays a small part.  If the difficulty remains the same then you should earn the same, if the difficulty goes up then you should earn more.

Hello I have a question that I am trying to find answer, but unsuccessfully and was hoping someone could help me in here, The BTC Difficulty was to go up in April, But in my cloud mining rigīs I have not noticed any change in the daily profitīs, will the difficulty only be noticed in a couple of months or will it be visible very soon?
 Any answer that will help me clear this issue is welcome!
Thanks
The difficulty adjusts about every 14 days, every 2016 mined blocks. At this time the difficulty can go up or down to average the propagation of blocks to one every 10 minutes. You can get a general "how the difficulty will be adjusting" from https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty

I'd rather buy games directly with my bitcoins rather than to fill my wallet with bitcoin first and buy games with it.
Huh Not sure what you mean.
i mean rather than top-up my steam wallet with my bitcoin first i'd rather buy games directly with my bitcoins.
You can and Bitcoin has been an option since BTC was at around $415, at least that's what the video shows. This past week and most of last BTC has been over $440. Also Steam accepts Bitcoin for what seems to be all purchases on the store, including hardware.

I wonder if this publicity is worth more than 300 btc?

right? a way to make them look legit, so they sent the tx?
cause i mean WHO WOULDN'T claim it back from a pool?
these guys are so shifty i wouldn't put it past them
is there any way to guarantee your pool recieves a tx?
like can u choose what block or merkle hash to include the tx in, and one that your pool is mining?
no hey? ;p

The pool can choose which transactions to include or work on, based on fee's, which based on that transaction I bet every pool would have included that transaction in their work.

From the past a large amount of the transaction that included huge fees were users using API's which did not work properly or that they signed the transaction themselves without providing a change address, if you don't spend all your BTC in the transaction any leftovers are considered a miners fee.

Some people might either not realize they sent it if it was done automatically, or as BTC is irreversible may have said to themselves "Well I screwed up it was my fault, I probably won't get it back so no use crying about it".

Provide an offer and number of units you wish to purchase.
I'd offer 1,000 for all 5 working sp31's
I think you misread the OP, there are 5-6 non-functioning or faulty ones, there are more working ones than that. The price is a bit low for so few, but check your PM's.
387  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: [NSFW] Bitcoin accepted Porn Site are cheaper on: April 28, 2016, 06:48:55 PM
I am sure 99.99% are, we just need one person to buy the videos, and then he/she is free to share it with all of us if he uploads on a torrent site. Since torrent sites are illegal (not in all countries though) he can upload to file upload service and post on related forums the links. In the end everyone likes free stuff.

Torrent sites are illegal in each and every countries. The differences is few countries have banned while remaining have not or waiting to do so
Piracy is always an illegal action which falls under Cyber crime
This isn't totally true, torrent sites in themselves are not illegal in every country. The thing that is illegal is the content that is shared and even then some countries do not recognize copyright claims as valid or enforceable, there are many torrents that do not have any copy written materials in them and are torrented as the p2p system is more efficient or cheaper than direct downloads.

If you really want porn, there are tons of free sites that don't require you to pay unless you want specific things or upgrades, and I'm not talking about the ones where people upload content that has a copyright on it.

Hi all freinds,

I am new here and want to know how to earn bitcoin with the free system
of the freebitco.in site(not the bet hi lo game)?

i have read some expressions i don't know what it is like "SHA-256" , server seed , client seed and nonce and i am a newbie..

i want to know how to win big values of bitcoin, does it need a special hardware or what?

I can sign up under ur referral link fro m my PC?

Any one can guide me to a thread or a post would be appreciated..

Thanks and may god bless you and Happy Easter


Life lesson #1: Nothing in life is free, ever. You will always have to do something to get something.

That site does not offer free Bitcoin, they offer a lottery. To get tickets either you or a referral needs to purchase a ticket.

The only way you might get "free" BTC would be to take part in a faucet or signature campaign. The faucet you will earn very little but the work involved is mindless, enter a captcha, click on some ads so the site gets some money and then can continue paying its faucet users in the future. The signature campaigns you will need to make constructive posts that actually help people, or you could get kicked, with this you need to devote time in reading and replying while also advertising for the company who is paying you.
To add what he is stating above, even the faucets and signature campaigns are not free.  Yes you do not have to pay nothing and you will earn"FREE" bitcoin by participating; however, you need to participate and some of the time it will take you a while to get where you are trying to go.  Read some more of the forum and you will better understand.


I can't understand this mysterious words. what do you mean by "it will take you a while to get where you are trying to go". If you know a thread about this site that can teach me how to earn big fractions of bitcoin like 400 or 500$/month per instance even if investing in buying some hardware if necessary and not having it, please tell me.Do you know about freebitco.in?


He actually didn't read my full post, I said faucets and signature campaigns are "free" but you will still need to do something and explained what a faucet would require you to do as well as a signature campaign.

I've looked at freebitco.in and only was able to see details describing a lottery, seeing as they won't really say how to get the free $200 yeah don't expect to get it, I know there are faucets that say you can get 100,000 satoshis but the chances of that are the same as being hit by lightning twice in one day.

The current hardware you will be investing between $400-600 upfront and possibly earn $150-200 per month prior to power and other expenses, you will not be able to make $400-500 per month profit without a significant investment or skills.

Can you do design work, scripting, translation services, some type of skill that you have? Those will have the highest chance of you getting $400-500 per month, the signature campaigns will make you around $20-30.

Signature campaign list: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=615953.0
If you have a skill offer it in the services section: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0
389  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: what means halving? on: April 28, 2016, 06:12:49 PM
I would be concerned that as this happens, more miners will go offline and stop processing.  This would lower the value of the bitcoin if I am correct.  Why would we want to pay more in transaction fees when we can revert back to credit card processing?

Because as of now and even into the foreseeable future an "increase in fees" is still minuscule in comparison to the amount a credit card processor charges, while also needing to worry about chargebacks, rolling balances. What you are saying is if less people are confirming transactions the value of BTC would be lower, my thought is those that stay will profit more as they have a larger piece of the pie.

Paypal charges 2.9% + 30c per transaction, BTC charges 0.0044799000 cents per kb.


Business' also look at transactions with risk, a coffee shop won't require you to wait for your $1 transaction to confirm before giving you your drink. The value of that drink was much less than $1. Big ticket items they would require you to wait, but then again they would require you to pay a transaction fee, the hope in the future would be for them to provide discounts to offset this as they won't be charged as much from credit card processors and insurance, but this would come as adoption increases.

391  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Original owner of Avirunes wants his account back.Please help on: April 28, 2016, 05:56:53 PM
Seems like it's a pretty simple case.

OP gives the account back to the original owner who seems to have provided proof.

OP tries to retrieve the funds back and/or makes a scam accusation thread against ActSeller.
The "original owner" hasn't provided sufficient proof, he provided screen shots of emails that are questionable at best based on date formats, and since he hasn't had access to the account since August, why is he just now in April providing email documents showing activity in December of no year and February of this year. He is also trying to get his account back when sold by someone who people have reported for selling hacked accounts, to me it seems this person is just trying to benefit off of the current situation.

If he can provide a signed messaged from a staked or unedited BTC address from these forums over a period of time when he owned the account, or it belongs to the one who actually has access to it.

As for trust, negative trust should only be issued if you have participated in a trade with the person and risked some amount, if you just have a suspicion or the account was purchased/sold it should be just a neutral advising others "this happened".

Some people think of the halving like it is stock and BTC is not stock.  My question is how long it will be before it halves again and again.  Really, will people even bother mining when it halves down to less than 4BTC?
About every 4 years, every 210,000 blocks. It occurs similar to how the difficulty adjusts.

Think of it like this, those who want to have transactions included will need to pay more to be included, also with less of a reward that means every day less BTC will be generated from nothingness (mining), if demand stays the same but available new supply decreases what do you think would happen?
394  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Antminer S7 Batch 6 correct firmware on: April 28, 2016, 05:24:27 PM
batch 6 would be 4.05TH/s model and the newest firmware is this

https://bitmaintech.com/files/download/SD-S7-20151211-600.tar.gz


Before apply the firmware update, please go to these pages and take screenshots for the notes.  So if something goes wrong, you know what value to put it back

-Miner Status Page (Pool info, Chip count and Frequency info)
-Network (DHCP or STATIC IP you use)





Hi I have a S7 batch 6  and its giving me a lot of grief every thing works like it should but then it starts mining oddly, ie  random, no hardware errors .02%  have power monitors on them so its not power, I was wondering if the firmware might need to be updated and what exactly is the correct firmware? I want to be sure before i do anything. in the bitmain site there are several updates but which is for the batch 6.  I have put new fans on, the voltage, and oc is stock.  checked every thing?  any ideas.

thanks

Ahhh great, thank you for your help, I have not had to update the firmware but it seems this one I have no choice,  Is there anything else I need to watch for, I have read alot of people having trouble updating the S7.   I have not had any trouble updating the firmware on the  S3, or the S5's

If you have a good network connection and stable power you shouldn't have any issues updating the firmware. If you upload the firmware file to the S7 without it getting corrupted and the S7 stays powered while its installing the files you likely won't experience any issues, and if you do a factory reset will usually fix it, but just like updating your phone don't power it off or anything like that while its updating or you could brick it.
395  Economy / Goods / Re: Mobile Battery- Powerbank - Indiegogo on: April 28, 2016, 05:52:33 AM
I was able to convince a friend to start accepting bitcoin on his indigogo campaign
Details  
Get Full Charge of your iPhone on the go in just 7 minutes!
 
Flash Pack gives you one full charge of an iPhone 5 on charging of just 7 minutes from a Laptop charger.

Flash Pack charges to full capacity in just 14 minutes and lasts for one and half charge of an iPhone6S

You can buy here: http://flashpack.io/
You will receive a backing confirmation from indigogo.
You can check the Campaign details here:
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/flash-pack-power-bank-that-charges-up-in-minutes

Lets help him out. We all need power banks in today's mobile world. This unique battery bank has 1500 Charge cycles compare that to the 300 cycles of other batteries, in addition it charges in just 14 mins through a laptop charger and hence you dont have to sit and wait for your backup battery to charge so you could just charge your mobile phone.

This is so fake lmao

How do you see this as fake? The funding is live on indiegogo and you can go there directly to back it and be secure. Secondly I have tested this product live the beta version of it. The guy is incubated at The Nest IO who is launching it. You can check it out here http://thenestio.com/

But I am sure you have a reason of thinking its fake, I would like to know why you think its fake so I can have him address those issues?
I personally believe all indiegogo campaigns that are funded with "flexible funding" are fraudulent in some way, on occasion there are a few that are not in this category but most seem to be. Yes backers we need $30,000 to fund this and put it into production, but if we only get $3,000 we are happy to take your money.
396  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Is there ANY WAY to PUSH a transaction? on: April 28, 2016, 04:14:11 AM
You can ask / bribe a pool op to include your transaction in their work, again its no guarantee but it raises your chances significantly.
If the transaction does not get included in a few days it should be dropped as long as it is not rebroadcast automatically.

398  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Manufacturing 16nm ASIC Chips (Bitcoin) on: April 25, 2016, 08:38:56 PM
I was waiting to respond to see if anyone else wanted to weigh in on this, and Gunthar pretty much nailed my thoughts.

If you are serious about manufacturing 16nm chips and manufacturing miners on a scale that can compete with the big companies, you literally have the support of this entire community. Not to mention to pull that off would make you very rich.

I have trouble understanding why you would need to enlist a petition to determine whether or not people are interested. If the miners are competitive, EVERYONE will be interested, no input necessary, they will mob you and stuff money in your pockets, me included.

If you are looking for pre-orders or crowdfunding: My original thoughts on you being a scammer stand until proven otherwise.

If you are looking for serious investors, you need infinitely more information available to convince anyone this is a serious business proposition.

IE. You have still not answered my questions regarding what facility is available to manufacture these chips, who is designing them and what their experience/background is, and the proposed efficiency and size (hashpower) per chip.

In fact, if you are at the idea stage, and don't actually have a chip designed and the manufacturing process lined up, I am incredibly skeptical that you could hope to get them to market before the 2nd and 3rd gen 14/16nm wind up on the market in a couple years and leave your (hypothetical? designed? prototyped?) ASICS in their dust.

Now there are options.

Warranty Claim can be filed from Create Ticket Page and send it to new Hong Kong address.  (Please do not send it to Mainland China address that was used in the past)

Other option is to use repair center in USA, Venezuela and Ukraine, if you are outside of China, this is usually faster.  Additional in Russia and EU be available but not in full service yet.  (Localized repair service is a fee based.  you can email to request the repair.


You have been missing from the forums since Jan 14th.

Nice to see you back.

Hope you are well.

I have written a lot of posts complaining about your company and the lack of service for the s-7.

I would like to think that you will stick around to support buyers here.

I would like a  67 to 75 usd refund for my under hashing batch 1 s-7.
So I can stop trashing your company about it.

Since your company gave it to li hosting in China of which I had 1 machine but simply did not compensate me for my one sent to my home.
And it is really annoying to be blown off for  67 to 75 dollars since Nov of 2015.

I wrote multiple emails zero reply.
I never asked for much.
I asked for a refund via a coupon and I still purchased 17 machines after the bad batch 1.

It would be nice to fix this for me.
BitmainWarranty is not Bitmain, it is a company in the USA that does contract work for Bitmain. The CEO of Bitmain posted something in this regard on his twitter some months ago. This is likely the reason why there are repair fees for the localized work (USA, Ukraine, and Venezuela).

Wow great collection. All those poor Antminer S2. They were great miners. If you don't sell them you can always part out that 1000W PSU inside them.
We have already pulled the power supplies out of them, I believe the pallet directly above the S2's are the PSU's for them. If anyone is interested in the S2 power supplies only I can check to see how many are available.
