I've tried a lot of variations and nothing seems to work. I still get this in the console:

Can I call the blockchain.info API with just javascript or jQuery?

I'm trying to load http://blockchain.info/unspent?active=$address. From what i've read it should be possible somehow with cors, but i've been checking urls with this cors test: http://client.cors-api.appspot.com/client, and with or without the "?cors=true" i'm not having much luck.

Has anyone got this to work?

Why?

Compromised how?

brainwallet.org will do that among other things.

There's probably a better way to do it, but you can do it like this:

Two pages, you can change the refresh interval in index.php

Page 1 = index.php -



      
      
      
      
      

      
      
      









Page 2 = gox.php -

header('Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate'); // HTTP 1.1.
header('Pragma: no-cache'); // HTTP 1.0.
header('Expires: 0'); // Proxies.

$data = file_get_contents("https://data.mtgox.com/api/2/BTCUSD/money/ticker_fast");
$data = json_decode($data, true);
$spot_last = $data['data']['last']['value'];
print_r($spot_last);
?>

Try That.

Nobody can seize bitcoins!
If the wife knows his bitcoin address or somehow knows how many he has, just send them to another address and say they were stolen.

It's the same as trading fiat currency, like EUR to USD for example. Most people would only really do that if they were going on holiday or they wanted to buy something from another country. But, traders can take advantage of the tiny fluctuations in value to make gains. In the crypto world those fluctuations are huge, so smart crypto-traders are increasing their holdings by moving from one currency to another.

The importance of it is to find equilibrium.

If you have one pie and you cut it into four pieces, how many pies do you have?

Technically, you haven't made any USD gains until you sell. So, don't sell your bitcoins, use them.

Another option -

Actually TomHirsh said we'd be at 1:5 in less than 180 days.. He was trying to sell at 1:1 on August 31st.

I bought at 0.025BTC, so I hope they do go up, but I don't think they'll ever be worth 1BTC.

There are a few different ways to do it without running bitcoind..

You can use an API - blockchain.info or inputs.io
Or, you can generate new addresses yourself with something like - github.com/zamgo/PHPCoinAddress
Or, you could generate some addresses with bitaddress.org and store them in a database

It's not hard to do yourself, but there a plenty of people here that will help you out for a few satoshis.

OK thanks, that explains it.

Some Silk Road users sold perfectly legal items, like art and books. I wonder if any of the legitimate users will be asking the FBI for their coins back?

Does anyone know if it's possible to create a multi-signature address with the blockchain.info API?
If it's possible, could you tell me how?

Thanks.

They're not 3:1 yet.. Check the orderbook: http://bit.ly/mastercoin

The article is ok, but the comments are awesome!..
It's funny how so many people seem to voice an opinion on something that they clearly know nothing about.

Ok,
I got it..
The problem I was having was the jsonRPCClient.php, but this version sorted it: http://pastebin.com/vREuHVr5#

Hi,
I'm really hoping someone can help me out here..

I'm trying to connect to blockchain.info and use bitcoind commands - https://blockchain.info/api/json_rpc_api
But, i've been struggling with this for a few hours now and i've achieved nothing apart from potentially compromising a wallet.

Does anyone have something in PHP that I can use as a template? - A basic PHP script that connects to rpc.blockchain.info with a few example commands, which outputs the results?
