In reply to: [Bitcoin Payments for WooCommerce] Does this work with MtGox?Currently not as payment can only be received into your own personal Electrum wallet (recommended) or if you have accounts with blockchain.info (not recommended).

Once you select “Your Own Electrum Wallet” option and save it, and then reload the bitcoin gateway screeen – the field should appear.
Try to disable any caching plugins if you have any.

In reply to: [Bitcoin Payments for WooCommerce] Decimal PlacesAs price of bitcoin goes up, I don’t think rounding to limited number of decimal places is a good idea. This will cause one or the other side of transaction to be unhappy.
Gleb
Yes, likely some CSS issues for theme developers to address.

Don’t you see “Order Received” screen, as shown on image here:

In reply to: [Bitcoin Payments for WooCommerce] Electrum Master Public Key LocationYes, for Windows version of Electrum (at least for versions I checked) this won’t work – so i published a universal instruction that works for all versions.
Gleb
PS: When you forced to use very large gap value due to the large number of addresses already in use – I would recommend to generate new Electrum wallet and enter new Master Public Key in plugin settings.
Old addresses will still be in database in case some of them will receive late payments, but all new addresses will be generated against new wallet.Very large gap value is inconvenient because it’s slow to sync every time.
Gleb
Large number of addresses usually generated by webmasters “playing” with their stores placing fake orders and checking stuff.
Each order needs unique address.
If address remain unused after certain period of time (no money came in) – it is being returned to the available address pool for next purchase.
Once address received some bitcoins – it will be permanently removed from the available address pool.
So under normal conditions – the gap limit needs to be only bigger than total number of orders (plus 10-50 to allow for breathing space).You do not need to reinstall plugin. In fact reinstalling it (with data deletion option) will force it to regenerate addresses and re-check them for balances. Which takes time. But if addresses are already generated at least once – the plugin keeps track of balances and orders and things will operate progressively faster.

– Check __log.php in plugin’s directory for tips / messages.
– Check wp_bwwc_btc_addresses table in your database – see how many addresses were generated.
Gap limit must be set to something bigger than that.Gleb

In reply to: [Bitcoin Payments for WooCommerce] Personal Bitcoin AddressIf you use Electrum wallet – new address is generated for each new customer. This new generated address always belongs to your electrum wallet.
You just need to make sure to set high enough “gap value”, like 100 or even 500 so Electrum wallet’s balance check will “cover” that new address.If you use Blockchain.info API – blockchain will generate new address that belongs to blockchain. If customer sends payment to that address – blockchain will eventually forward it to your address. This process could take a while though.
Using Electrum wallet as a payment option is faster and more secure.

In reply to: [Bitcoin Payments for WooCommerce] Works OK with a few tweaks and monitoringThanks for your review!
– QR is not shown in emails probably because “show images” is disabled within your email. Enable it and QR will auto-appear.
Gleb
Definitely adding this to the list of things “todo”.
Gleb
– Launch Electrum
– Go to: Electrum settings(icon at the lower right corner)
– Choose “Wallet” tab.
– Set “Gap limit” to 100
– [Ok]
– Restart electrum.Above higher “gap limit” will force Electrum regenerate total of 100 addresses (instead of default 5) – and include balance from them to total wallet’s value.
This is something plugin needs to “prompt for” automatically to avoid merchant get scared about their money gone to the “black hole”.
Currently in plans – as time permits…

In reply to: [Bitcoin Payments for WooCommerce] Orders not updating after payment is madeIf your soft cron not working or disabled (which is a real possiblity) – you may try two things:
1.
Emulate hard cron manually from the browser via URL similar to this (replace it with your site URL):
http://example.com/wp-content/plugins/bitcoin-payments-for-woocommerce/bwwc-cron.php?hardcron=1
This should trigger complete cycle of payment processing.2.
Enabling hard cron at your hosting system. Follow these instructions:
