coinfee: Bitcoin payment splitting API

[answermarket]

Want to have a customer make a payment that gives you a cut as a service fee, and sends the rest to someone else? I may have the answer.

http://coinfee.net/

I'm using it on answer.market. API needs work, but I don't see too many other options in the field. Hopefully for someone else, it can be handy.

This api is just the replica of a paypal instant payment gateway that splits the money paid by buyers and automatically sends the affiliate cuts instantly.
You can further promote this in the project development section if you are the owner because you said it needs further improvements.

Thanks for your reply!

I've been working on this solo, so I don't know if Project Development is really relevant or not.

Couple changes:

Added a feature to where you can use coinfee as a basic payment processor, without payment splitting if that's not what you need. It should be able to be used in place of Coinbase, Bitpay, bitaps, Blockcypher, and others. While there are many great processors out there, there's a fewer selection that are as straight forward and don't have any accounts to worry about.

Lowered the per-transaction fees from simple transactions and split transactions to 15,000 Satoshis. At current rates, that's about 10 US cents per transaction, whether it's a huge transaction, or very small. It's a polling API and integration should be very simple to do.

Happy belated Halloween, everyone!

Hoping someone can make use of Coinfee as a payment processor. What would make you consider it over other options?

If you can provide PHP api demo and some guide to implement this with PHP script than i may consider it to use in some of my and my client's project in future. Checked http://coinfee.net/static/coinfee.py but it was guide/example for python only.

I'm very happy to hear that!

Here's a PHP example. I posted a bounty for a PHP library, and this is what I was given: http://answer.market/answer/113JGV3vHzphi6PGqM4YD2DxCYS8ezxLDG

Let me know how it works out for you.

That library is using the out-of-date API endpoint, but this new one should be pretty easy to add in. It's /payment instead of /transaction. See http://coinfee.net/ for details.

You can see a full example of it in the new Python library: https://github.com/coinfee/coinfee-python

/transaction should be deprecated soon. I still need to pull http://answer.market/ off of it for legacy actions.

Good news, though. coinfee.net is now served over HTTPS!

https://coinfee.net/

I may setup 301s for HTTP -> HTTPS at some point, although I guess if you really want to use HTTP, you can still do that.

Edit: I also wrote up an article on using coinfee and setting up a Python/WSGI site from scratch: https://steemit.com/programming/@twiceusedfork/accepting-bitcoin-on-your-website-with-python-wsgi-and-coinfee

Sadly, I have not had any users of coinfee other than myself in the past few months. With SporeStack actively gaining traction, it needs more of my time and focus.

I ported SporeStack to https://github.com/teran-mckinney/bitcoinacceptor-python and have decided to shutdown coinfee.net.

However, I've put the source up on Github if any of you would like to take it and run with it: https://github.com/coinfee/coinfee

Could maybe host it on SporeStack?

Thank you for your support!
