I think this wallet is very quick, It looks very nice and works very well.

Could I install the library on a shared hosting? My hosting provider told me that I could install only on a server with root access...

Can we expect any soon updates for what comes to the Web wallet ?

I meant additions to be honest (don't forget the suggestions thread ) and I'am not sure , the only bug I found I reported already and you guys fixed it in couple of minuts .
and you also spoke about adding the ability to switch between different wallet since that last bug

Hey,

you could try running `composer install` locally and then uploading the `vendor` directory, but most likely you're also going to need a few PHP extensions installed which might not be installed on the shared hosting (which I guess is why your hosting provider told you it's not possible).

tbh we also strongly recommend doing bitcoin related things (or anything really) on a server with root access, either self hosted, rented or a VPS.

Pm me if you have any more questions

Very excited to use the Blocktrail wallet. Just downloaded on Android and set it up. For some reason I never got the SMS when trying to verify my phone. Did other people here receive the SMS? I will try again later, perhaps it's just something to do with telecom network. Wallet looks great - will fund it soon. Keep it up!

SMS verification is working well on mine. Right after i enter my phone number i got the verification code by sms.
maybe your phone operator have some issues.

Maybe you can help me out. I just tried to log into the web wallet with my "dev account". The old ones that you needed to get an API key. I got the error:

Please login on the developers platform (www.blocktrail.com/dev/login) first to automatically upgrade your account and enable the wallet

which I did.

On the dashboard there is the option Wallets -> New Bitcoin Wallet. It requests an Wallet Identifier and a Wallet Password (twice). All fine, until I hit "Create Wallet"

Any idea what thats about?

One more thing came up regarding your "Verify Signed Bitcoin Message" here -> https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC?verifysignedmessage=1

Someone staked the following message here -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996318.msg12567926#msg12567926

"developer accounts are limited to 432,000 API requests per 24 hours, at a rate of 300 request per minute.

When you reach the rate limit you will get an error response with the 429 status code.
We will send you a notification when you're getting close to the rate limit, so you can upgrade in time or contact us to request an extension."

IS it true that you offer such amount of API requests for free? And there will be no issue like with blockchain who blocks API IP address after small portion of API requests exceeded?

Also when create wallet get an error: Expected Buffer, got String "f986ea8598b3a41d72905f9c2190a59577f576a10bd424a8b846375f8e750bae6a6c27d56cf780c ec2c865f529df48c6e85d0136faface1dad70f262d1e3b60c"

Hey Shorena and mihtju,

I have forwarded these issues to the dev team, please stand by... we are working on it.

Correct mihtju we do provide this for free, and no there will be no blocking issue when you exceed. Just please contact us if you do intend to exceed.

Thank you and we be back shortly with a fix to the "expected buffer, got string" issue.

[mihtju]

Thank you for your fast reply and help. Hope that this issue with Buffer string will be corrected shortly.

Fixed, the frontend code was trimming off the trailing space at the end!

The issue with the "Expected Buffer" has been resolved, sorry about this, side effect of some updates for the consumer webwallet ...


As for the rate limits, those numbers are true (otherwise we wouldn't say they were) and atm our system can only manually ban IPs, and that's only really for abuse (ie someone who's obviously rotating multiple API keys to get past the limit), so hitting the (free) rate limits is not a problem at all except that you'll have to wait before you can get the data you want.

Also, if the limits are really a problem then feel free to contact us to discuss an upgrade (could even be free depending on the situation).
Though they really shouldn't be with 100k transactions/day on the whole bitcoin network 400k requests should be enough for you to completely sync the whole blockchain xD.
