Help with shopping cart and bitcoins for Magento
by
marnie
on 16/01/2013, 05:37:23 UTC
I'm helping a friend set up a site.
We used Magento.
Mtgox's extension sucks, and after waiting several weeks for them to fix it, it seems they couldn't be bothered.
Bitpay seems alright, but it's 4% deposit to Canada, and 1% if just transfering.
The products have very small profit margin, so even 1% hurts.
Wondering if there was an easy way to add a simple checkout where the user could just send their bitcoins at the end manually,
and order details are sent.

LOL? In which countries a phone connection is not terminated, if one side hangs up? Here in Germany the call definitely is terminated if one side hangs up and you would have to redial. And this behavior is not new, the phone network does behave this way since I can remember. With VoIP this is AFAIK the default behavior of most clients, too. (However, on protocol level, there is a 2 sided termination)
In Canada, hanging up for a short lapse of time won't terminate a call. The US probably use the same system as well.
Yes, for old analog wired phones quickly (< 1s) pressing down and releasing the hook does have this effect here, too. But this is intended and used as signal to the network to access several advanced features.
Last time I tried(3-4 years ago) I could stay on the line for ~1-2 minutes. I successfully pranked some friends this way. I guess it depends how the network has been setup.

I could be wrong, but I don't think it works like that any more.

tl;dr:  Use a decentralized client, rather than a centralized web service.


What are some other options, besides the downlaodable one?

I'm kinda new here, but why on earth does blockchain.info give other individuals access to the admin cp?
Who else has access to this?
That is rather disturbing.
Can I get admin access? Cheesy

People said ltc would never be worth more than .02$ a few months ago; all I'm gonna say for now.

Excited for the day they hit $1.  I'm sitting on a little pile of LTC.

So are probably thousands of people, which is a good indication it will fail.

That said, I don't think LTC has any future, because it isn't different enough from Bitcoin.  But I've held on to a couple hundred LTC just in case.

Agree. People are going to jump on it thinking it's going to go up like BTC, and it'll fizzle out.

Re: [ANN] Mt.Gox launches the definitive bitcoin checkout solution.

Well this is just stupid now, I guess I'm going to switch to bitpay.
I did another test order, about seven hours ago. After about six hours, and like 15 confirmations, the amount was sent back to me.

Well there are now 10 confirmations, and the above screen still showing.
Though it's an improvement, I think it's really stupid to display that screen, when it's going to take several hours, possibly a day
before mtgox approves the money in the account. Some people could be checking confirmations to see when it's going to be finalized
and wonder why it's not changed.

Also, I want to post this, so hopefully it can get some attention from the devlopers.

All orders come in as 'processing' and never switch to let you know it was paid.
If someone closes out of their screen, their order is not canceled it is still processing. This leaves confusion for actually paid orders.

What makes matters worse is that it takes numerous hours to get payment confirmation, possibly 12-24 hours. We could have a dozen new orders, or a dozen new canceled orders (both look the same) before we see money in our mtgox account. We then have to go back and try and figure out which order the payment was from.

What needs to happen is if the payment is canceled or screen is closed out, the order is canceled.
If payment is made it should say pending or processing. Then once funds are confirmed it needs to be switched to confirmed, or somethign along those lines.
It's not efficient for the website owner to have to spend an hour a day sorting through which orders are real and which were canceled.

The 12-24 hours before payment confirmation is also ridiculous. A customer places and order, and instead of it possibly being shipped out the same day,
it's going to take 1-2 days for payment to be confirmed.

Okay, I'm not sure if they fixed it, or if I just had the bad luck of an error last night.
But I did a test order today, and after the bitcoins were sent. It said there was no money there, but some were pending.
So it atleast tells the customer the coins were sent but need to be confirmed. This gives peace of mind atleast.
Payment was sent 20mins ago. No confirmations yet.

When withdrawing or depositing bitcoins into your Mt.Gox account there may occasionally be a delay (1~24 hours) depending on network congestion, your internet connection speed and the time required to get 6 confirmations on the network. If you're sending to your computer's wallet, it's good practice to keep your bitcoin client running so it can download the block chain. For those that may not know the block chain is the complete history of all transactions made on the bitcoin network, and as such it can take some time to update and download the most current block and see the bitcoins in your wallet.

If you aren't seeing the funds after either withdrawing/sending to Mt. Gox from your bitcoin program, please wait 24 hours before contacting us. If your transfer has still not occurred within 48 hours, please lodge a support request so we may begin the process of tracking your bitcoins and reinitiating the transfer.

I don't get this. So the screen above could stay like that for up to 24 hours?
And the person is sitting there wondering what is going on?
And it can take up to one day before the money is into the account?
This can't be right?

Thanks.
For anyone interested, this is what the final page looks like.
It now has six confirmations, 45mins after the transaction started.
But the screen has not changed yet, and no money in mtgox account.
This is not acceptable.

eight confirmations now

Is anyone using this on their site?

I did a test order on my friend's site for $0.20 17mins ago, and it shows one confirmation so far.
The bitcoins someone sent me 30mins ago is at three confirmations so far.
Is someone supposed to sit at the confirmation page for 30-60 minutes for confirmation
for six?

What exactly are these confirmations and why is this taking so long? I'd assume this would
get a lot of complaints.

I don't know if it's true, or if I misread it, but in the article that was talking about how even with mixing, you can still be traced, they referenced from a two years ago, someone was trying to sell like 20,000 btc for $50, and couldn't get any takers for it.
