Looking for a creative and abstract logo for sweepkey.org. I can't come up with something that isn't lame like a broom and some bitcoins, I need something abstract yet could still represent movement of funds after some explanation/imagination. Will pay $100 in bitcoin after work is completed. If interested please PM me with a link to a quick concept you have for the logo and/or portfolio. Purchase should include flat image and source file.

PM me or email me [coinables at gmail]

​Greetings Bitcoin Developers,

We are happy to announce that the BETA is now live and ready for you to start building great things.

https://tangerine.pw

If you have already validated your authentication email when signing up you should now have access to login to the dashboard and access your API keys.

A few things to keep in mind:

- This software is in BETA and is still being tested. Do not use for transactions that are worth more than you are comfortable losing.
- It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to set a "home address" in your dashboard and to sweep funds frequently using the sweep buttons in the dashboard, or the sweep API endpoint. Your home address should be a bitcoin address where you control the private key.
- Try out our open source shopping cart. (https://github.com/coinables/TangerinePower-Bitcoin-ShoppingCart-V1) It is a very simple implementation intended for small shops that can get you started very quickly. Just set up a database, edit the config.php file and you are good to go. This way you can run a shop without having to store private keys on your server.
- Tangerine Power is NOT A WALLET. We allow the creation of address, checking balances, and sending funds from an address. We do not monitor for incoming transactions nor do we combine all addresses into a single "wallet balance". All addresses are independent of another.
- Tangerine Power was built from the ground-up to offer a different type of API experience. We are strong believers that developing with bitcoin should not require an application process, credit checks, or advanced programming skills. Many options that are available today that are easy to implement into your site, require KYC/AML information. Other options only provide a base API layer which requires users to be full-stack developers in order to use the service.

Our aim is to make it so that building websites that use bitcoin can be easy and available to everyone.

Have fun, and please let us know if you find any bugs via twitter @tangerinepw or tangerinepw@gmail.com

Oh perhaps they're more strict now. I can't remember how old my adsense account is, but it's from way before my bitcoin days.

No I had no issues.  There's not much there, haven't updated it in a long while https://btcthreads.com

If you're not running a Bitcoin client of some sort, or referencing a 3rd party (rely on an external service) then your usability will suffer.

For example you can create private keys and address pairs for receiving funds using a library, so you can accept payments just fine without a node or a 3rd party. The draw back is you don't have a way to monitor the blockchain, check for UTXOs, or push transactions.

If you're looking to do those things as well with as little 3rd party as possible, I'd suggest use a library to create addresses, and build transactions, and then line up a series of open API's that allow you to check the UTXO set, and push a signed transaction. If one fails, then hit the next one, and if that fails hit the next, etc. It's a little extra work, but you won't have to sign up with a service, you don't have to run a node, and you don't have to feel like you're relying on an API service since you'll have fall backs.

Here are some push tx endpoints:

https://chain.so/api/v2/send_tx/BTC/
https://btc.blockr.io/api/v1/tx/push

Here are some APIs to get the UTXO of an address

The main issue is legality. There are several scripts floating around that can give you a basic idea how a dice site operates.

I use it on an informational site and it's fine. You can't do faucets or anything like that.

Was going to say the same thing. I use 20 sats/byte and my transactions always confirm, sometimes on slow days very quickly, but usually it takes about 24-48 hours. With a standard P2PKH tx one input one output cost is less than penny.

Glad to see this is still going. I come to check this thread every so often, it's always a good read. Wondering if Rico is going to start a multisig one next 

Start with machine code https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/A-level_Computing/AQA/Computer_Components,_The_Stored_Program_Concept_and_the_Internet/Machine_Level_Architecture/Machine_code_and_processor_instruction_set

Then I think this one is helpful

Ain't no one got time for that! 

Yes it will be free. Private keys of generated addresses  will be available for export via the user dashboard and two factor auth. There are no plans currently to support altcoins.

It's all built from scratch aside from a library that helps with elliptic curve crypto, hashing, and signing transactions.

It's not launched yet, but I'm working on an API service. It will do what you're asking.

7/9/17: BETA has now been launched and is live.

3/18/17:  API service is functional and being load-tested for scaleability, and security. Public access is currently disabled. Please visit https://tangerine.pw to enter your email to get notified once beta is launched. The wallet back-end is custom built in nodejs, and is incredibly lightweight and fast. The entire RESTful API back-end is both distributed and specifically designed from the ground up to handle bitcoin transactions. I'm looking for an awesome UI designer to help build the login/registration screen and user dashboard, if that's you PM me.

Even if a joke, someone should do it anyways on the 1st, copy UTXO from a certain blockheight like how CLAM did their distribution... that was fun  

I like it, simple and clean. I like that you have the title auto updates with the price. As for suggestions, the top half of the page is kinda naked, maybe add the stats you were think of adding up there. Cool site!

I think SAAS apps will work, you can charge a monthly subscription for an API type service or if it's more of a one time deal and you are relaying/moving transactions you can charge a per tx fee.

I hope this is a typo. 2 sats/byte is very low.
Other than that, very cool article and project!

It's a fun project, been working on my own for fun... Definitely not safer.
