Hi Alex

Thank you.

When this feature is launched, it would also be nice to have an option to check/uncheck users who will receive rewards. So an admin can turn on/off airdrop rewards feature for individual user – this would be useful if the user doesn’t want to receive the daily/monthly airdrops.

[alexg]

OK I understand now.

If I understand correctly, you would like to give periodic rewards to users for “staking” their coins on your site. There is no such functionality at the moment, however I do intend to implement this request to the Airdrop Extension, which will accomplish exactly that.

Generally I do not undertake custom development, this is mentioned in the FAQ. However this is something that I do plan to implement. When it is out, I will notify you on this thread.

Please let me know if I misunderstood what you are suggesting.

with regards

Hello,

No, the only way is to do a bank transfer, which you would have to then process manually.

The reason this is not implemented is that in practice it is not safe to do so. Keep in mind that credit cards are subject to chargebacks up to 30 days after the transaction, so if you sell cryptocurrencies (which are irreversible) with credit cards, you run a high risk of being a target for fraud. This is why not many sites offer this option.

The plugin is geared towards building exchange markets rather than “selling” tokens and other crypto.

Of course, you could still accept payments via some e-shop, then process the payments manually using the fiat coin adapter, but I would not recommend it for the reasons mentioned above.

Hello,

No, unfortunately this is not possible. The reason is that the deposit shortcode is for general deposits, not payments for products/services.

Could you tell me more about your use case? What are you trying to accomplish? I might be able to provide some idea of how to best implement it.

Hi Alex

Thanks for the update

Ok, I will work on the UI and CSS.

If anyone has a good template or can recommend one with login functions and chat, then it would be awesome.

ThemeMylogin also have some good offers and add-ons I see, might go with that one.

Awesome community and good to see anyone are helping each other out.

Learning a lot by just reading all these post :).

OK, if you are trying to interface with another system such as MyCred, it will not be easy as some programming would be required. I have not tried this, as the scope of this plugin is cryptocurrencies, not point tokens.

Instead of defining a token with the Fiat Coin Adapter, which is the easy part, you would have to implement your own Coin Adapter in PHP. A coin adapter is basically a piece of code that tells the plugin what happens when a user requests a withdrawal, and also lets the plugin know that a deposit was made.

Before diving into the technical part of the problem, first decide on your design:

– What does it mean for a user to withdraw your token? What would you expect to happen then?
– What would trigger a deposit of your token? What event would you attach to in order to generate a deposit row for the DB?

Also, keep in mind that the user balances are not just numeric amounts saved somewhere. Balances are sums of transaction amounts. You cannot simply “set” a balance, you can only add or subtract to it with a new transaction.

Before attempting to implement anything I would recommend that you think about what a deposit and a withdrawal is.

For an example of a simple coin adapter, you can study the now deprecated Litecoin adapter. Also, there are instructions in the documentation under the heading “Coin Adapter development” where the details are explained.

Hope this makes things a bit clearer.

It is currently possible for a user to generate more deposit addresses for themselves.

The Coin Adapters are an abstraction layer. They abstract wallet functionality. Any wallet generates addresses and provides them to the plugin in the same way. So it should not matter which wallet you are using as a backend, the behavior would be the same.

The end user can request a new deposit address by clicking on the button in the [wallets_deposit] shortcode. This does a JSON API call to the do_new_address endpoint. This in turn triggers the wallets_api_deposit_address WordPress filter which is part of the PHP API, with the force_new argument. This instructs the adapter to request a new address from the wallet. The plugin then saves the address to the current user.

You can inspect the latest (default) deposit addresses of a user in their WordPress profile screen. You can also inspect all addresses for all users under Wallets -> Deposit Addresses.

I am not sure if I have answered your question, so please let me know if I haven’t.

This bug has been adressed in version 0.6.3-beta. The correct exchange rate values for your token will be now entered into the DB from your BTC_MYCOIN market, the next time the exchange rates refresh in your system.

UPDATE: I have discovered the bug that causes your issue. I will release a patch to the exchange extension today, to address this. Will keep you updated. My apologies for the trouble.

Hello,

No, if you are using CoinPayments as a backend, then it would not make sense to display a deposit address that is not generated by the platform.

The plugin always displays the last generated deposit address for each coin and user, but it also retains previous ones.

The only way to modify this is via the database. The mapping of user-coin tuples to addresses is in the wp_wallets_adds table. But if you try to enter manually an address that is not generated by the same wallet you’re using, then users will not be able to withdraw their funds.

Why do you want to display a different deposit address? What are you trying to achieve?

with regards

[alexg]

Hello,

If this is a new installation, then probably your site is not yet receiving IPN notifications. This is the most common problem with this adapter.

Please go through the troubleshooting section of the coin adapter, under the heading “Deposits come through to the CoinPayments platform but do not show up in the plugin.”.

Follow the instructions, and if you are still facing the same problem, please let me know. I would need to know what you have tried and how far you got.

with regards

Hello Joe,

As a backend developer, I am mainly concerned to make sure that the plugin works with the standard themes released by WordPress, i.e. twentyseventeen, twentynineteen, etc. This ensures maximum compatibility with most themes.

Occasionally you can come across a theme that is not compatible with this plugin. Usually it is a problem of one or two CSS rules and it is possible to fix the issue. If you are using a theme whose CSS rules you believe are interfering with the UIs, let me know because I might be able to help. All that’s usually needed is to inspect the elements with your browser, find out the rule that’s causing the problem, see which of the plugin’s rules it’s hiding, and overwrite that with another rule.

Additionally, perhaps other users can recommend themes that they have had success with.

with regards

Hello,

When you create a custom token using the Fiat Coin adapter, this balance works the same as the balance of any other type of coin: It is the sum of transactions affecting that user.

The wallets_api_balance filter returns the current user’s balance. You do not need to periodically query this API, it is only for letting you know the total user’s balance.

Could you please explain in more detail what you are trying to do?

thank you

[alexg]

Yes, if your coin is not on any on of the exchange rates providers, then that would be part of the reason.

Have you set up any market on the exchange with your coin against BTC? If so, then this is where the prices are drawn from. You can control this behavior at Wallets -> Exchange -> Markets -> Use Exchange rate. This is a new feature introduced in 0.6.2-beta.

[alexg]

ok I was a little too fast :). found out that the shortcodes do a lot of the work with the deposit, withdraw, balance and chart and trading.

If you have any inputs to more UI / themes that work good with this, then feedback will be much appreciated.

Thanks

Joe
