Hi,
I'm working on a bitcoin site, but its getting delayed because of external problems.
I'm creating new addresses using getnewaddress, however, blockchain's "receive API" creates yet another address which is tracked but doesn't help me, as I already created a new address. I do this way because then I can track what addresses belongs to which user, as they are linked to the same account, and I'm not relying on any other service. Actually, this is how it works in bitcoind.
getnewaddress -> 1bitcoinaddress1
vs
/api/receive -> 1bitcoinaddress2 (which apparently points to 1bitcoinaddress1)
So, according to support, I should use
https://blockchain.info/api/api_websocket . But, to get balance and amount of confirmations, I should use
https://blockchain.info/api/blockchain_api .
I know there are some other sites as mentioned here
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=575651.msg7361747#msg7361747 but I'm trying to work it out properly using blockchain.info, as they do have websocket and all other good stuff. I asked support, but they said I should post here and see what you guys have done "the best way".
Anyway, what I'm wondering here is, have anyone here got any experience here, and can tell me how I can get the total balance, and confirmations for addresses the easiest way using blockchain.info when a new transaction accurs? I basically just want to avoid polling, and get some kind of notification of a transaction, and then be able to check the balance and confirm by some amount of confirmations that the transaction is OK.
Thanks,
Chillance
