Bitcoin payments

Integrating Bitcoin

1. If you plan on accepting Bitcoin payments, enter your Blockonomics api key into the config.ini file:
   https://www.blockonomics.co/merchants#/

2. In order to receive notifications of Bitcoin payments, you are required to deploy your bot in order to receive a public url where webhooks can be delivered to Greed Bot.

For testing ngrok https://ngrok.com/download works well:

• Run the following command in a new terminal:./ngrok http 5000
• Look at the "Forwarding" line to see your unique Ngrok domain name eg. https://greed.ngrok.io/

For production gunicorn can be used https://pypi.org/project/gunicorn:

• Run the following command to launch Greed Bot: gunicorn --workers=1 core:app or add web: gunicorn --workers=1 core:app to your Procfile
  Once Greed Bot is running and you have received your public url eg. https://greed.herokuapp.com/

Callback URL

• Add callback?secret=YOUR_SECRET_HERE_ to the end of your URL. eg. https://greed.herokuapp.com/callback?secret=YOUR_SECRET_HERE_, replacing with the secret entered in your config.ini file.
• Set this url as the HTTP Callback URL in your Blockonomics account:
  https://www.blockonomics.co/merchants#/page3

Woah! You made a lot of stuff!

Sadly, I won't be able to review this until I am done with my exams 😅 , so it may take a while...

Please be patient, and thanks! 😄

Hello , I love this bitcoin payment feature , thanks
I have a few questions
let's say I hosted the bot on a vps (Debian).
will the order going to be placed even if the payment is unconfirmed or it's necessary that a payment confirmation should be done before the order is placed and the owner gets a notification from greed about the order ?
Thanks again

In the testing websocket version orders are accepted instantly (0 confirmations).
In production, we recommend waiting for the payment to confirm via callback (2 confirmations).

This ensures payments are fully confirmed to your wallet before credit is funded. (This will happen anytime in the background, and notify the user)
