From what i can see on block.io, it's not possible to have webhooks on payment reception unless i go on a paid plan (30$ / month), am i right ?

Hi,

I want my users to deposit btc funds into their accounts on my website, am exploring 2 ways to do it:

  • Embedding bitcoind into my server: most trustable, but needs 80Gb Disk and 2G of ram for it, and python libs are complex/undocumented
  • Relying on blockchain.info wallet api: simple and quick time-to-market, but they are slow at reponding to my request for an api key access

What do you think guys ?

I used the block.io api in a project recently, pretty easy to use.
Also they only use multi-signature addresses for added security which is nice.
Check it out: http://block.io/api

Yeah but you could always try using the web socket they provide.
