Introducing HelloBlock - Focus on building Bitcoin apps, not infrastructure.
https://helloblock.io
Weve built a Blockchain API so developers can focus on the important stuff (app logic, UX) rather worry about bitcoind.
This was built out of frustration of both bitcoind and the blockchain.info API. We previously built www.tippercoin.com (send BTCs via a tweet) and www.sparecoins.io (Chrome extension wallet) via these tools. However, bitcoind just doesnt give the data you need and blockchain.info isnt developer friendly, e.g. no testnet, goes down quite often, weird http codes
Weve also built a programmatic faucet API so you can write proper integration tests! (https://helloblock.io/docs/ref#faucet). This comes with a block explorer as well for both testnet/mainnet (https://helloblock.io/latest, https://test.helloblock.io/latest)
Let me know what you guys think.
