Awesome. Would love to get feedback on how we can improve the service and the Bitcoin experience on Foodler.
We've decided to reimburse the sender's transaction fee. Is there a way to determine the fee from bitcoind? We are applying a 0.001 bonus to all deposits of 0.20 BTC or more. Hopefully this will cover any reasonable fee for the sender.
Also, is there a preference for a new deposit address for every transaction? Perhaps the best answer is to provide new addresses after each transaction, while allowing the old ones to continue working.
A bonus of 0.001BTC for deposits over a certain size is much better than trying to figure transaction fees. Right now I just tack on a fixed 0.002 fee so my transactions confirm fast, but people spending smaller inputs could always rack up much larger fees. Most people just learn to consider the fees a sunk cost.
Requiring new addresses to avoid the quantum computing threat is really on the 10-50 year security timeline from my limited understanding. New addresses while maintaining old addresses is what Mt Gox does, there are probably better and worse ways to do it. A set deposit address is going to probably be safe, Seals with Clubs the biggest bitcoin poker site seems to favor set addresses, people tend to keep these fairly private anyway.
Did you roll your own payment solution or are you using Bitpay(kind of sweet)/Scambase(not so sweet).
I do love me some La Parrilla.
