Contest link for this week https://community.blockonomics.co/t/its-an-ai-uprising-win-exiting-prizes/1570It is nice seeing this here. Going by what the link says, I would assume this contest to be an article contest which members here might likely pick interest in but however, it would also be nice you clearly state the nature of the contest, the rules and other criteria or requirements for one to take part in this contest so that one would have a first glance at it before proceeding further to click the link which I believe not everyone on this platform is comfortable clicking links as a result of their past experience. A detailed information on the contest could go a long way.
Appreciate your feedback. Anyway with a valid email address / bitcoin address can participate . Most of the contests are puzzles or to do creative ideas/writing so feel free to participate ! |

Hi all, I am part of Blockonomics team. I am so happy  and emotional to see so much discussion and thoughts about our product. Just a history, our product originally started as Address Watcher and took off only due to the feedback from bitcointalk community on this thread from 2014 I understand the problem everyone is facing due to removal of the address watcher features. Few things regarding this: - We are temporarily consolidating our effort on Merchant features to improve revenue
- I understand the demand for wallet watcher/tracking and we are obliged and committed to adding them as a separate product soon.
Just for bitcointalk community, here is special preview of upcoming mempool tracking feature we are going to launch soon  Thanks again for the continued support and feedback |

Apologies for taking some time to update this. I just made some changes to the list:
- Removed BTC-Cashier from the list since the source code hasn't been updated since 2018.
- Removed both Globee and Savvy as they're both not working anymore.
- Took off the "lightning support" column and replaced it with the lightning symbol. This should make it easier to spot.
- Added "integrations" column which now includes all of the supported plugins/integrations of a processor.
And I will be adding the processors suggested and some new ones soon. I just need to get some more info first.
Could you please Add BlockonomicsKYC - NO Direct to Wallet - Yes Fee - 1% (First 20 free) Altcoins - BCH Integrations - https://www.blockonomics.co/integrations#/ |

Feel free to get back with suggestions or comments
I'm a little bit confused about the name and scope of the project. Is it an SPV Bitcoin wallet that runs as a daemon and is interfaced through an HTTP API? (And has the extra feature of batched transactions) Is the API supposed to be user-facing or is it supposed to be used by yourself / an application you are developing (such as exchange, online casino, etc.)? Because 'as a service' usually suggests that it's hosted by one entity and accessible by many others (who are then using this service). These can in turn be developers as well, or end users. But if you host it for yourself / for your application or whatever, it doesn't really fit the classical SaaS definition. Yes it may not fit the classical Saas defintion. However, there is a big push towards self hosted services that provide API access. This is for independence and security reasons. Bitcoin Wallet services, there are similar other projects, feel free to have a look at https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/v7z40w/bitcoin_wallet_as_a_service_an_open_source_list/ |

Nice work, I modified the source code a bit for my needs.
Could you implement a fee system?
For example: User A wan'ts to make a TX to user B,
the admin (user C) get's 5% of the sendet amount.
Yes Fee system would be quite easy to implement. Feel free to create a pull request with configuration or create an Issue on the github repo. I am interested to know what is the use case of actually sending fee to admin user in each transaction vs just cutting 5% off the send amounts. Admin user can withdraw anytime as anyway he is having complete access to wallet. Note that if you create extra send output for each payment you are increasing the tx size which would result in higher tx fee as well. |

3. Mentioning exact/tested version of Python library used would be great. Who knows if the library suddenly change their API.
3. It needs python3. As mentioned it internally uses Electrum-4.2.1 library so all dependencies of electrum apply. Thanks for the suggestion, we will mention that as well I can see it needs Python 3.8 and Electrum 4.2.1 from installation guide. But to be specific, i mean dependency of Wallet Service. For example, pip install sqlalchemy==1.4.39 requests==2.28.1 ...
Yes its inside the Installation sectionpip install sqlalchemy requests sanic cryptocode |

Few thought and question,
1. I see few API has wallet_password parameter and i couldn't find anything about HTTPS/secure connection. Is it right to assume developer must setup HTTPS by themselves (e.g. by using reverse proxy)?
2. Does the software open/load all wallets all the time?
3. Mentioning exact/tested version of Python library used would be great. Who knows if the library suddenly change their API.
1. Yes the developer must use HTTPS by themselves. You can also use reverse proxy or just bind the service only to localhost so that only your webapp can access it 2. The wallet is loaded only when API command is executed. 3. It needs python3. As mentioned it internally uses Electrum-4.2.1 library so all dependencies of electrum apply. Thanks for the suggestion, we will mention that as well

Are there any fees for this wallet service or is it completely free? It's not clear to me if I can use this wallet standalone or I need to use Blockonomics merchant page. I saw on Blockonomics website there is 1%, with first 20 payments being free, but I am not sure if that is for complete package or not. It is open source and completely free and you are in custody of the private keys. To clarify architecture, it is just a webapp service layer on top of electrum wallet. So you don't need to depend on anything else other than electrum. Note that electrum internally uses SPV servers to get blockchain dataBlockonomics can be optionally used to receive bitcoin to the same wallet (as blockonomics uses wallet xpub to help you accept BTC). This is just for convenience and will give you more merchant analytics and web UI (for which you have to pay the 1% fee). But this not at all necessary. This service itself is completely independent. There is no link / call to blockonomics servers anywhere in the source code [moderator's note: consecutive posts merged] |

AboutOpen Source Wallet as a Service that provides easy to use REST API endpoints for sending/receiving bitcoin How is this different- Supports automatic batching to minimize fee- Very useful when sending funds out in time of high network congestion
- Gets up running instantly - No need to wait for days to sync blocks
- Is lightweight and can run on simple 5$ VPS - Unlike bitcoin core and similar disk / memory heavy daemons

Thank You so much! I have checked the HASHes and Addresses with the blockchair.com (as well as Blockchain Explorer, Blockonomics), balance is not zero, it shows the BTC balance i am expecting. Addresses i sent to the Sender have the BTC balance, transactions are Confirmed and balance is Unspent. I understand i should recover the balance with Electrum or elsewhere but not familiar with the patterns and method. Are there any steps to take or procedure to follow (any information to obtain)? I have tried this: https://blog.blockonomics.co/how-to-restore-blockchain-com-wallet-into-electrum-f593ec79ab3d, but did not succeed. Apparently, i am missing something. Thank You. Since you have created segwit address, you should be using Segwit derivation path in Step 4 of https://blog.blockonomics.co/how-to-restore-blockchain-com-wallet-into-electrum-f593ec79ab3dDid you select native segwit (p2wpkh) and Derviation Path (default) — m/84'/0'/0' If that didn't help, feel free to see this github thread as other users are also facing similar issues. |

Just a little question: some files might not contain virus, but can have a backdoor once opened. In example, a PDF with a backdoor created in Metasploit, how can you prevent such malware for other users to have it safe? Also, there are chances that some files are already available in the torrent search websites. How can your platform prevent other users from selling files that is already free in the internet?
There are tons of verification required to make a file safe, secured, and exclusive on the platform. I would just suggest that if such matter could not be met by your project, then a simple warning that not all files in the platform is malware safe or an original copy (since it is decentralized).
Yes a virus scanner can be added on serverside. There can also be a flagging system to flag bad files |
