Apirone.com is a processing of bitcoin payments with the SegWit technology support.
In the project called Apirone there was created a service that is fully compatible with Blockchain.info API v1, which is so popular with a wide audience.
Apirone does not withhold customers’ funds, does not store them, and does not manage someone else’s «coins». After the first confirmation of the network, they are immediately forwarded to the user's address.
Apirone was the first to make a payment forwarding with the application of the SegWit technology! As the destination address, you can indicate any type of bitcoin addresses that exists at the moment: standard addresses starting with "1" (P2PKH); Pay to Script Hash addresses with the SegWit support (P2SH-P2WPKH), starting with "3"; as well as new SegWit addresses starting with "bc" (P2WPKH).
Transactions with a SegWit-signature are added to the blocks with a priority, and the network commission is much lower in this case, which, as a result, helps the sender of a transaction to save time and money on sending the payment.
By default, the service generates a P2SH-P2WPKH address with the SegWit support for the payments. Both old and modern bitcoin wallets can use such addresses. The service uses exactly this type of address because at the moment only about 20% of net members support the SegWit, and there is an extremely small number of wallets that support the QR-code recognition and effect payments on the native SegWit addresses.
As a matter of convenience, Apirone uses a GET-request to confirm a payment. In this case, there are no conflicts with the security policies of different stores or other access problems (for example, restrictions on POST-requests from external resources).
And for the security and anonymity geeks the company made the callback to the TOR network possible.
The API of the forwarding service is open to all the users and doesn’t require registration. You don’t need to verify your email address, and the company doesn’t have the ability to block accounts because they are simply unnecessary. Everyone can take bitcoin payments, this is the Satoshi Nakamoto’s ideology.
