Thank you very much Atomicat !

I didn't know Electrum was built to be lightweight and that would change all the picture as you said.

By gathering information about Bitcoind, I found BitcoinJS which seems to be quite simple & well used. The code is optimized so I was wondering if somone would know if I should rather go for bitcoinJS instead please ?

I lack of experience and knowledge in those technologies, that's why I'm asking by hoping that someone who have already an idea about it.

Thank you again ~

Thank you very much for your answer nerioseole !  

I suspected something like that but I wasn't sure about it as I'm new. What you said is logical & comprehensible, and put me in a deep thoughts process...
Running our own Electrum-servers is not a bad idea, and if we create a well-thoughts system architecture behind it, that could enforce our security as you said.
By the way, I still didn't find the maximum number of transaction that Electrum can managed. I have to dig deeper then. And what you said about transactions slowing down the software really worried me... I'll have to find information about that, thank you !
I don't know if you (or someone else) could help us on that please >

>Would you know a website which explains how to create secure properly a cryptocurrency payment system, please ?
(It could also be some case studies that would show some secure system/network architecture for bitcoin transaction).

I think I really need first, to gather some useful information and really understand it before trying to elaborate anything.

I really thank the community very much for your help in advance  

[Sorry for my bad english, it's not my native language]

Thank you for your answer kolloh !
I'm not an expert in this field and I'm not a developer as well, so I didn't check Bitcoind in details. But security is at the heart of our projet. This is why we want to integrate a HD wallet for our company to keep all the bitcoin generated by our mining farm. So if with Bitcoind we can't use HD wallet, then it's really not the path to follow for us.
I rethought about our payment system, and I thought that would be better if our customers could use their own wallet ID (that they have already created elsewhere) to receive their earnings. I imagine that the user would direclty insert their own Wallet ID in the profile section of their Backoffice, and that would be the default wallet to which our payment system would send the user's earnings after the submimission of a withdraw request.

I'm really concerned about the Security, and i was wondering if you think that it'd be more secure to integrate a HSM in the heart of our payment system ?
I'd imagine something like this: [Requests engine] ----> [HSM] <---- [HD Wallet]
-Requests engine: API with a view of all customer’s balances | manage payment requests  from customers.
-HD Wallet: Secure device which keep the majority of our bitcoins.

Thank you Joel_Jantsen !
Indeed, what you say is true. We were amazed by the number of scams around the web ! In this context, it has not been easy because we have been "fighting" since 2016. Our projet go beyond a simple investment platform and we did our best to create something different with a full dedicated team. Today we are proud to have finally won the trust of our visitors. Most are today our customers and our community, which is built around human values, grows little by little. It is really something that we had to forge, and that is not so easily won in such an area.
There's a lot of scam and it's sad to see that, while crypto-currency is a good thing for all. However, my team and I have built our project on fundamental pillars in the business world and we believe that will make the difference in a near future.

Yes, we're running a serious business quite unique (I'm sorry because I can't reveal all details). On the aspect of the mining farm, we're ok. But our will to share our earnings push us to create a platform in order to make that possible. And this where we lack of experience/resources, and we're still open to hire developer to join our developpers's team.
You're perspicacious because we are effectively quite in a rush. But our main concerned is Security which is very important for our project. And as Electrum supports HD wallet, I will take your advice to go for Electrum.
As the amount of BTC transactions will be really massive, do you think that will be a problem with such a configuration ?

Thank you again !

A little bump, thank you

Hello everyone !

We'd like to know if Electrum can meet our business needs in the realization of a part of our project.

We own a mining farm and our company's project is to create a backoffice through which our customers buy mining power and then perceive return on investment in Bitcoin. We have our own developers's team and have already developed the majority of the project as a PHP/Mysql application. But there is one last part to be developed: The earnings withdrawal function. This requires the implementation of a Wallet hosting service and the use of API to develop our "payment system". Security is at the heart of our project.
We'd like to know if it's possible to elaborate a secured architecture for our Bitcoin transactions with Electrum wallet service ? 

Details: Our customers can't withdraw directly because we have an "Validation team" who is responsible to receive&validate any withdraw request from our customers and that, through a dedicated "Validators" backoffice.

The architecture (to improve) that we imagine :
- A Hardware Wallet. (will keep the majority of the Bitcoins of our company).
- Hot Wallets. (for the customers).
- Watch-only wallets. (between the HD and hots wallets, and will check the balance of our custormers's wallets).
- A payment system (that our developers will develop using the electrum's API) that will retrieve the amount of bitcoin from our HD Wallet that our customers are requesting, and then send to their respective hot wallets.

Can someone confirm me if this is doable with Electrum for our business project please ? 

Oh d5000 ! A Big thank you for this information.

This is the first time I see that... It seems to be a reimplementation of Bitcoin using javascript web technology. I will immediately hand this over to our developper and we will figure out if this is what we need or not.

Thank you very much for your help d5000, I appreciate it  !

Merci azentia et voilatom ! 

Ce genre d'information va être très utile pour mon développeur. En plus, il développe en PHP/python/TCL et est en pleine phase d'analyse des APIs de Xapo et autres processeurs.

Votre aide a été très précieuse pour moi, merci encore ! Nous allons commencer à partir de la base que vous nous avez recommandés. 

Yes, we saw a lot of scam and it's sad to see that while crypto-currency is a good thing for all. However, my team and I have built our business on fundamental pillars in the business world: human values, trust, good humor and respect. We work hard and believe in our success with our clients.

Allow  me clarify: We really want to build our infrastructure ourselves. If possible, we imagine integrating a Cold Wallet (our "safebox" to store our Bitcoin obtained from mining) at the heart of a structure that we will develop in order to distribute our BTCs safely. Indeed, we want to avoid to rely on a platform/processor that would keep our BTC in a wallet. We are trying to create this infrastructure ourselves, using our own developers, that would allow us to have maximum independence and control.

I'd need your help please. Is there be a way for us to use an API but which would allow us to create our own processor (which will then be linked to our HD Wallet) ? We really want to be independant.

Thank you !

From France .
But if my question is too "newbie", I'll move it elsewhere without disturbing this forum's section ;-) .
And in case where the term "bank" looked weird, I just want to clarify by saying that I just read it from an official source here: https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-for-developers#api ).
Thank you for your help !

@voilatom, Merci pour votre réponse !

Non non, rassurez-vous ! Je ne me sens pas traité d'arnaqueur car notre fierté d'aujourd'hui est vraiment loin de ca. En effet, ce que vous dites est vrai et croyez-moi, ca n'a pas été facile car nous nous battons depuis 2016 ... Mais aujourd'hui, nous sommes fier d'avoir enfin gagné la confiance de nos visiteurs. La plupart sont aujourd'hui nos clients et notre communauté s'agrandit car elle est construite autour de valeurs humaines, la confiance, la bonne humeur et le respect. C'est vraiment quelque chose qui se forge, et qui ne se gagne pas aussi facilement dans un tel milieu, voilà pourquoi je suis d'accord avec vous voilatom.

À vrai dire, j'ai été sur https://bitcoin.org/fr/bitcoin-pour-developpeurs et il est écrit:

Veuillez m'excuser si le mot "banque" n'était pas adéquate mais j'ai juste repris l'information depuis une source fiable. Mais permettez-moi d'apporter des précisions: Nous voulons vraiment construire nous-même notre infrastructure. Si possible, nous imagions d'intégrer un Cold/HD Wallet (notre "coffre-fort" pour stocker nos Bitcoin minés) au coeur d'une structure que nous développerons dans le but de distribuer nos BTCs en toute sécurité. En effet, nous voulons éviter de dépendre d'une plateforme/d'un processeur qui hébergerait nos BTC. Nous essayons de créer nous-mêmes cette infrastructure, à l'aide de nos développeurs en interne, qui nous permettrait d'avoir une indépendance et un contrôle maximal. Pour la partie ferme de minage, c'est correct mais c'est vraiment la partie infrastructure en vue de distribuer nos BTC qui est nouveau pour nous (Backoffice, APIs, etc.).
Hum... "Léger" en connaissance, mais cela ne durera pas car cette soif d'en savoir plus est mon essence ;-) . Je vous remercie voilatom pour m'avoir aiguillé sur le livre "Mastering Bitcoin"! Par ailleurs, c'est curieux car il y a 2 semaines, j'étais justement sur la chaine Youtube de Andreas Antonopoulos et j'ai trouvé la vidéo "The Stories We Tell About Money" vraiment intéressante !

@azentia

Merci pour l'information ! Utiliser l'API de Xapo implique que nos wallets seront hébergés chez eux je présume? Nous sommes dans une optique de créer notre propre infrastructure. N'y aurait-il pas un moyen pour nous d'utiliser une API mais qui nous permettrait de créer notre propre processeur (qui sera ensuite lié à notre HD Wallet) ?
Je suis désolé, je ne maitrise pas comme vous ce sujet... En vous écrivant, je suis tombé sur https://bitaps.com/api/, mais seul un développeur pourra me dire si c'est bien ce que je cherche exactement je présume. Avec ce lien, pensez-vous que je suis sur la bonne voie après avoir pris connaissance de ce que nous cherchons à faire ?

Bonjour à toute la communauté o(^_^)o

Notre entreprise crée une exploitation minière et a la volonté de partager ses revenus avec les personnes qui en ont besoin. Nous créons un backoffice accessible via notre site Web qui offrira aux gens la possibilité d'investir puis de générer des bénéfices. Le client pourra ensuite retirer ses Bitcoins une fois par mois.

Problème:
Nous voulons que le client puisse retirer le montant de ses gains en cliquant sur un bouton "retrait", ce qui déclenchera un mécanisme automatisé qui débitera ce montant de notre «banque» de Bitcoin. (En fait, nous avons l'ambition de créer notre propre processeur de paiement pour rester indépendant et fournir un service de disponibilité à 100% à nos clients).

Quelqu'un m'a recommandé de commencer par un "Bitcoin Full node", et un autre m'a dit d'utiliser les API des processeurs de paiement existants, mais pour être honnête, je suis perdu (x_x). Je ne veux pas prendre trop de votre temps, j'aurais juste besoin d'une aide pour que nous puissions nous assurer de commencer sur la bonne voie.

Est-ce que quelqu'un est capable de m'aider ou de me dire les bonnes ressources à suivre pour :
- 1) Permettre à nos clients de déclencher wihtdraw à travers leur Backoffice.
- 2) Créez notre propre «banque» Bitcoin (processeur).

Je vous remercierai jamais assez pour votre aide précieuse !

Passez une bonne journée ;-)

Hello to all the community o(^_^)o ! Could I have some of your time ?

Our company is creating a mining farm and has the will to share his earning with people in needs. So we're  creating a backoffice accessible through our website which will offer people to invest safely. This will generate profits and the customer will be able to withdraw his bitcoins once a month.

Our issue :
We want the customer to be able to withdraw the amount of his profits by clicking on a "withdrawal" button, and this will trigger an automated mechanism that will withdraw this amount from our Bitcoin "bank". (Actually, we have the ambition to create our own payment processor to remain independent and provide a 100% uptime service to our customers).

Someone recommended to me to go for a Bitcoin Full Node, and another one told me to use API's from existing payment processor but to be honest, I'm lost (@_@). I don't want to take too much of your time, I'd just need a little help so that we could help many people in the future. 

Is someone able to help me or tell me the right ressources to follow in order to :

1) Allow our customers to trigger wihtdraw through their Backoffice.
2) Create our own Bitcoin "bank" (processor).

I will never thank you enough for your precious help !

Have a great day ;-)
