What about sizing ? how much resources (ram, cpu and disk) you allocate for bitcoind ?

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 use bitcoind for my projects, if you build your system correctly you are only relying on yourself no other third party (Maybe besides the VPS provider). This is the only way I would do it with any project now for the future as I know we have complete control over usage.
