ShapeShift said the following:

so the basics of it are that you would do an integration either with our api or our shifty button. and it would include some key pieces of data that would allow us to route your transactions a bit differently from normal trades in our system.

[1:31]
What we've found to be easiest is you would create an integration with ShapeShift that does a normal BTC -> ETH transaction. However, in your transaction you would include your affiliate key and for the 'withdrawal address' you would use the address given by your users (ie where they want the token sent).

[1:32]
For the user perspective they just used your site and sent BTC and will (eventually) receive your token.

[1:32] the 'eventually' statement is assuming you are collecting funds and then giving them out at a later date after teh sale ends. otherwise you could just send your token to the users address immediately but thats up to you. (edited)

[1:32] On our side - we will add a bit of code to our order processing that any time we see a transaction with your affiliate key we will swap the users withdrawal address out and use the address of the TOKEN contract. And we will send the users address to a particular function on the contract.

[1:33] What i would need from you to get this coded on our side is:

1. Once you've talked with Emily and gotten an affiliate key setup for vanbex I'll need to know what the key is.
2. I'll need to know the address of the TOKEN contract.
3. I'll need the hash prefix for the function call to use. Generally in the past its looked roughly like: 0xaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb where the a's are the function hash prefix and the b's are the users address that i concatenate on and that gets sent as 'data' in the ethereum transaction.

Let me know if this will work for you all. And feel free to ask me any other questions you have.

This is exactly what we need, even for purchasing VIP with Ether. It gets around the problem of regular payment transactions not supplying enough gas.

Ok so what do you suggest we do then?
