Good API for accepting bitcoin payments?

[2kbid]

Hello! We are starting a penny auction site (It is in its rough stages, we are going to be constantly improving it), and would love to accept bitcoin as a payment option for bids (And for check out process on items  ) We will be offering everything from giftcards to electronics to bullion to bitcoins

5 free bids will be credited to whomevers suggestion is the one we go with.

Thanks,
2kBid

Well both Coinbase and Blockchain have API's that accomplish this goal.

We have looked into coinbase, but not yet at Blockchain. Would you suggest one over another?

CoinPayments... Supports 21 coins including BTC.

I've written backends using the BlockChain api and it's quite simple and has good documentation.

We think we are going to go with Blockchain.

GigaDice and Vaio127, if you would be interested in getting 5 free bids send us an email at support(at)2kbid.com with whatever username you decide to create and we will add 5 free bids to each of your accounts.

We should be up and running within a week,
Hope to see you all bidding

Many pennyauction sites are scams... Hope your's doesn't go the same way - I think you will be the first penny auction site accepting bitcoin!

Yes, we are the first penny auction site that we know of that will be accepting bitcoin. As to the other comment, scammers are a dime a dozen, and nothing we say can prove we are otherwise until we have feedback and a review up. You can always try your luck out with the free bids from signing up.

Thanks

Well, be sure to tell us once you get the site up, I want to have a look

Will do, we just don't want to launch the site until we have bitcoin implemented. We are also thinking about cosmetically improving the site, but its more important to just have a site that functions as its supposed to
