    Alternatives to rest.bitcoin.com?

    Posted: 10 Apr 2020 11:47 PM PDT

    TL;DR: What are some serious alternatives to rest.bitcoin.com (free or paid) offering JSON REST API?

    Having no time and resources to maintain my own full node/indexer servers, I have used multiple remote APIs to interact with the BCH blockchain. Sadly, most of them are unstable and tend to quickly die.

    I have used Bitprim.org, which went out of business during last year's hard fork upgrade without prior warning and returning incorrect data to its clients. I have used bitcore.io from BitPay, which returns incorrect data for unconfirmed transactions and also has very little documentation - most of the endpoints are not documented. I have used Blockchain.com in the past but they do not support BCH. I tried using BTC.com but they do not support the CashAddress format (so I assumed it is not maintained).

    Finally, the best service I used so far is rest.bitcoin.com, it has little downtime and is very well documented. The only issue I faced when I started using it is that it does not serve requests over TOR, which is not a big deal.

    The problem is that its quality is decreasing over time. There is more and more downtime, they recently dropped support for testnet (trest.bitcoin.com) WITHOUT WARNING and nothing is said about this in the documentation, the site still says it is fully operational and the error message returned says nothing about the endpoint being obsolete/deprecated. Moreover, they do not seem to maintain their repo, tons of issues are open without answer, I submitted a pull request to it and have received no answer/comment so far.

    I am now looking for serious (reliable, documented...) alternatives. I am willing to pay for an API key. Thank you!

    Good site for US players of poker?

    Posted: 10 Apr 2020 10:25 PM PDT

    This thread looked promising but they prefer BTH and when I tried to deposit BTC they referred me to an exchange that is blocked in the US.

    I could of course use VPN to get around this, but if I'm already taking a risk gambling with BTC it definitely sounds sketchy AF to be trying to pretend like I'm in another country.

    ‘In the BCH community I found people who actually wanted to use their Bitcoin as money and not as some get rich doing nothing toy.’

    Anyone there making games that use BCH?

    Posted: 11 Apr 2020 01:51 AM PDT

    There are BTC-giving games out there. If I try to withdraw anyhow, I lose all of it. Faucets too, actually. I have to manipulate CoinPot-using faucets to use them per day.

    Thanks, Blockstream. You had me for a while there.

    Core troll does math. BTC halving will drop reward only 36%, not 50%, WTF!?

    Posted: 10 Apr 2020 08:05 AM PDT

    Had a discussion with /u/dugg and he made a bold claim that BTC halving will only decrease block reward by 36%. Comment here:

    Also last little tidbit from myself, BCH dropped 50% in rewards where as BTC would only drop 36% if it was to halve today. This is due to Bitcoins fees. BCH is forever getting further and further away from Bitcoin in value and security.

    A quick look at https://fork.lol will tell you every 10 minutes a Bitcoin block gives miners $92k in the Coinbase reward and an additional $1k-$2k in Bitcoin fees. A quick glance would tell you BTC transctions fees are around 1-2% of the total block reward.

    When pressed further check out the math a Blockstream/Core supporter uses. Seriously.

    I'm a stronger character than you by being able to admit when I'm wrong, but I tell you what, just for you I will show you how your community claim of 50$ fees are even better than 36% I calculated wrong.

    92k + 93k = 182k, 46k + 93k = 139k, 139k / 182k = 76%, 100% - 76% = 24% drop in fees

    Seriously did /r/bitcoin censorship drive down the intelligence down this low?
