Introducing: CryptoPayAPI
So a thought occurred to me the other day when I was looking at the wallet daydreaming about all the uses of cryptocurrencies when I realize that apps and games on platforms such as Google Play could accept them as credits instead of USD or other government currencies. Such as in Life of Jaxon to buy level packs, instead of using Google's in-app purchases API we could write one for crypto currencies.
It would not be too hard to do. Just ask the users to send coins to an address and set the note as a key. The only major setback for Bitcoin is the current TX price. Lots of other altcoins could be used with reason for micro transactions such as DNR. It might be reasonable to sell DLC content for BTC. Anyways, over the past few weeks, I have been working on CryptoPayAPI. I was hesitant to make a post here but I figure its the best way to get feedback
