I'm starting an online business. My website is hosted on OVH. I would like to send a download link after a bitcoin payment.
Just to be more specific:
The scheme of the whole think would be:
Your help is appreciated.
• You should be aware of all the security issues around Bitcoin, if you're receiving funds to your own bitcoin wallet you need to keep that secure and if you're using a service you need to make sure you don't rely on it too heavily or keep too many funds in it's hands
• It is difficult to develop on your own as you should really have an offline wallet for the BTC. If you just create a php script loaded with 100 Bitcoin addresses you can get by with a small store and no Bitcoin-specific code.
• Is it safe to store the file directly on FTP? Yes… also if it's not protected the link could be shared.
• http://coinbase.com are probably the leading provider of this service
• blockchain.info provides official API libraries for Python, Java, .NET (C#), Tuby, PHP and Node - so whichever of those you know best.
