Hello guys, I'm facing a problem with blockchain.info API. I'm actually receiving payments on random generated addresses by blockchain.info which forward the bitcoins to my wallet address, but you already know how it works  However, payments are properly forwarded but there is no saved requests from blockchain.info server (callback) because the DDoS protection offered by my company filters and blocks the incoming connections from blockchain.info May I know the correct IP addresses used for callback requests so that I can add them in whitelist? Apparently I can not find them over the web  |

How's possible that nobody faced such kind of problem?  |

Thanks, I've opened a ticket right now. I don't know how long they will take to reply me, so this thread is still opened |

When I ping Blockchain.info, IP I am getting is 141.101.112.196. Try whitelisting it. Please ping before you add IP to ensure I am saying is true.

My whitelist already contains: 141.101.112.196
190.93.243.195 But unfortunately, none of them resolved my problem. I've also found a good read: Blockchain.info - confirm IP address for callbacksSeems that 82.145.55.247 is offline, probably because blockchain.info updates its address after a certain period. What do you think? By the way, blockchain' support has now escalated my ticket to their development department. Fingers crossed! |

What do you think? ~2 years passed. IP address changed. By the way, blockchain' support has now escalated my ticket to their development department. Fingers crossed!
Congrats. I also suggest you to create a temporary (free) website and find their IP. You can use their website to test to find IP. https://blockchain.info/api/api_receive |

I'm actually receiving payments on random generated addresses by blockchain.info which forward the bitcoins to my wallet address
Just for that I'd never use bc.i. Why spam the blockchain with an additional transaction? Bc.i and satoshidice are the reason we have to download 10gb blockchains. Have they not heard of offchain tx??? |

If you want to receive a payment, bc.i will create an address for you. Fair enough. Someone sends you coins. Thats 1 tx. Then they send that same amount to you. Thats another tx. Why can't they do a batch transfer? or something else; anything but that.. Why do two tx for each payment? From https://blockchain.info/api/api_receive You provide a bitcoin address we generate unique addresses that forwards payments to that address instantly notifying a callback URL. They should figure out a way to fix it..... If I make a payment gateway, I would not do twice as many as needed transactions I'm actually receiving payments on random generated addresses by blockchain.info which forward the bitcoins to my wallet address

They should figure out a way to fix it..... If I make a payment gateway, I would not do twice as many as needed transactions You don't know exactly what it does, do you? It is used to receive payment so that we don't want to expose our main address directly. Each time users send payment, new addresses are generated and is forwarded to the address owner set. If we don't want to use this, you can just tell to send the payment to your main address and bear the risk. Customer sends payment in tx 1 to Blockchain.info generated address and Blockchain.info forwards that payment in 2 to owner's address. That is how it works!

Just check out any other payment gateways (e.g, bitpay) Bitpay is different. You clearly don't know what Blockchain.info forwarding API does. Also, for an off-chain transaction to work, either owner or customer need an account in that site. Owners can't enforce customer to have an account in the payment gateway we use nor do owners can't keep their money in that site forever because they need to get that money and storing money in other's address is very risky. |

I said: My customer sends payment to bc.i generated address: TX1 The bc.i sends payment to my address INSTANTLY.. that TX2. (Unless I am mistaken, this is how it works) So for EVERY PAYMENT there are two transactions bc.i could easily batch them into one single tx if they wanted to. (do they do this? If so, then I retract my statement) I never tried but I carefully did read their API documentation, which is where I inferred this from. If they don't and if you want to still use bc.i, you are most welcome. |

No, they don't. If they don't and if you want to still use bc.i, you are most welcome.
I don't use it. I don't have a shopping website or something to use it or similar services. |
