Greetings Bitcoin Developers,
We are happy to announce that the BETA is now live and ready for you to start building great things.
https://tangerine.pwIf you have already validated your authentication email when signing up you should now have access to login to the dashboard and access your API keys.
A few things to keep in mind:
- This software is in BETA and is still being tested. Do not use for transactions that are worth more than you are comfortable losing.
- It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to set a "home address" in your dashboard and to sweep funds frequently using the sweep buttons in the dashboard, or the sweep API endpoint. Your home address should be a bitcoin address where you control the private key.
- Try out our open source shopping cart. (
https://github.com/coinables/TangerinePower-Bitcoin-ShoppingCart-V1) It is a very simple implementation intended for small shops that can get you started very quickly. Just set up a database, edit the config.php file and you are good to go. This way you can run a shop without having to store private keys on your server.
- Tangerine Power is NOT A WALLET. We allow the creation of address, checking balances, and sending funds from an address. We do not monitor for incoming transactions nor do we combine all addresses into a single "wallet balance". All addresses are independent of another.
- Tangerine Power was built from the ground-up to offer a different type of API experience. We are strong believers that developing with bitcoin should not require an application process, credit checks, or advanced programming skills. Many options that are available today that are easy to implement into your site, require KYC/AML information. Other options only provide a base API layer which requires users to be full-stack developers in order to use the service.
Our aim is to make it so that building websites that use bitcoin can be easy and available to everyone.
Have fun, and please let us know if you find any bugs via twitter @tangerinepw or
