Can you answer this so I set everything up right?
On my server side with a dedicated IP address: For port 8332 which protocol (UDP or TCP) and which direction (Inbound or Outbound)?

Yours.  I think it's a port issue.  My provider locks down ports unless I have a dedicated IP.  I'm going to wait til that takes affect and try it once more with 8332 and 9332 open.  Will let you know.

It looks like it's not talking back and forth.  I run bitcoind getinfo and get a ping in the debug.log file, but when I run it through my OC module checkout I'm still getting errors.  I'm going to run a curl script on it tonight and see what the hangup is.  I'll try rpcallowip= as well... that could be the issue.  Thx.

I'm having trouble getting this working.  Any help?

Here's what I'm doing:
I've got the module installed on my OpenCart (running 1.5.4)
I've got version 0.7.2 of Bitcoin running on a local computer
I've got a bitcoin.conf file in my User/AppData/Roaming/Bitcoin folder that looks like this:

rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
rpcallowip=ip_address
rpcport=9332
daemon=1
server=1
gen=0

My ip address in the above .conf file is my local computer's ip address which is a static ip address.
I've got the module in OpenCart filed in with the above information
I've got US Dollar set as my default currency and it's value set at 1.00000
I've got Bitcoin as a currency in my Localisation settings and it's value is set as 0.07042125

Ok, that's what I'm doing.
The problem I'm getting is on testing the checkout functions.
I put in a false order with a user I set up.  I have the currency showing BTC. I get to step 5 of the checkout (payment method) with Bitcoin selected.  I check my TOC box and click "Continue"... 
Problem #1: Nothing happens.

I click "Continue" a second time and I get a signal that it's processing the order
On step 6 of the checkout (confirm order) I get what looks to be a summary of my order. 
Problem #2: About 10 seconds after this a message at the bottom of the order that says "Error communicating with payment provider. Please contact the store for assistance."

Questions:
1. Is it ok to have this pointing to a local computer or does it need to be on a server?
2. If it does need to be on a server how do I actually do that? Do I "install" bitcoin program somehow?
3. Can I have special characters %#@ in my RPC username and RPC password?
4. Should my bitcoin.conf file show my IP as 127.0.0.1 and my RPC host on the module in my OpenCart Admin show my actual IP of the computer?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

I had a buddy modify his BTC WooCommerce plugin for Litecoin.  http://forum.litecoin.net/index.php/topic,936.msg4648.html#msg4648

This is a better explanation of what we're looking for with the bounties.

The API for the ticker we have seen but what we are really looking for is something that will catalog each day's (24hr) high and low and put that into a database (php) that will then give us a 7 day moving average (after 7 days of numbers has been compiled) that will determine out LTC/USD conversion rate for the store.  We just don't know how to do this.

The bounty about adding unique addresses to customers orders is the really important automation we're missing.  We already have a pre-generated list of Litecoin addys in a CSV file. 

Scenario 1:  We would like a button on our checkout page that says "generate address" and grabs the next LTC address from the file and give it to the customer BEFORE they complete the order.  Then we won't have to send a follow-up email with the address on it.

Scenario 2: We have code written into our confirmation email generator that grabs the next LTC address in-line on the CVS file and passes that onto the customer on a clean invoice form that they can save for their records.

We emailed you back!  Would love to get help with this.

Thanks,
What do you think of ours?

Anyone interested in buying Gift cards with LTC?  Amazon, Newegg, others?
I'm thinking $10-$100 range to start. 

Yeah, we've disabled our webminer on our website as well.  Old tech now and the Java applet is a pain.  Nobody wants to have a choice to enable it or not when visiting a site.  More of a turnoff than benefit to a site.

That would help with the clutter. 
In the meantime, if it's Litecoin pools you're hoping to segregate the mods over at LitecoinTalk have everything organized much better.

Making reasons to mine, hold, spend & buy Litecoin. Until then it's just gonna get action on 1 exchange.

It looks like a trend of everyone jumping on 1 cycle and then off 1 cycle

there are some cards for sale over in the LitecoinTalk forum.  5970s and 6950s are my preference.  And they are cheap now.

maybe they could rub some nano particles all over it so the dust just slides right off.

smiletyson: invest in a better camera with all the BTC that beast is generating! 

Litecoin has been around for over a year.  Has outlasted multiple "alt-coin" blockchains that started in vain before it.  Has outlasted multiple "alt-coin" blockchains since it.  Has surpassed alts like NMC and SLC :facepalm: in market value (not that that means much).

Look, I'm an architect and the most important thing in designing buildings that last is a strong foundation.  The Litecoin community has been methodically strengthening that base over the past year.  Surviving potential 51% attacks, evolving from a purely CPU coin to mainly a GPU coin (still many of us boting w/CPUs).  It's got it's small band of coders, designers & creatives collaborating over on LitecoinTalk and on IRC.  And that group is growing as more folks learn about it. 

The biggest draw I've seen to Litecoin (besides the hoarders & strike it rich types that bog the community down) is the speed of Litecoin.  Faster transactions is, to me, the only difference there needs to be between Bitcoin and Litecoin.  The blockchain is 4x faster by design and pending transactions don't get held up in a bumper to bumper traffic jam.  The speeds might slow, but at least the traffic is still moving.

These speeds will improve online purchasing if a site chooses Litecoin as a currency.  And merchant tools are being developed by the band of brothers on the forums and chats as we speak.  http://forum.litecoin.net/index.php/topic,936.0.html

Anyone can rattle off a dozen Bitcoin sites / 1 Litecoin sites.  Many of us use Bitcoin everyday online.  Bitcoin has built it's foundation and now is designing the beautiful architecture above the ground that amazes more people around the world every day.  Litecoin is building it's foundation and will soon be joining Bitcoin above ground in all it's glory.

If willing to sell at cost and need cash now, why not just cancel order with BFL?  They are taking refunds
