Yeah, that's the downside of selling cheap VPSs. People think we don't care about our network/hardware because we're only charge a dollar or two a month, but that's not the case at all and we don't care if you're paying us $1/month or $100/month, we have no problem dropping clients for abuse.
I wasn't including disputes/chargebacks since we get maybe 1 every 6 months at most.
It's still not entirely trivial to pull off a double spend attack, especially if you're using a large payment processor (which would have more traffic going through their Bitcoin nodes, so update to next block more quickly, and also probably setup to only allow incoming connections from trusted nodes so that the attacker can't connect directly to pull off the attack) like Bitpay.
Vultr had the same issue. They gave up on letting new users pay with Bitcoin, since it was attracting extreme amounts of abuse.
I've had next to no abuse with bitcoin, people know they can't get their money back.
I see a lot of spammers using bitcoin, I just block port 25 outbound on the 1st complaint, sux to be them
Sorry I confused you with the guy you were replying to:
He seems to think that stripe or bitpay have control over confirmations.
Same here. I've never had any abuse from anyone paying with Bitcoins so far. Maybe we're just lucky!
No issues with fake details then?
nope.
We have not had any issues with our payments. As long as you meet the withdraw amount.
Not sure if it matters of what Tier Level that you are on with them. We are on the Tier 3 and have always gotten our payments fast.
I have to say this :
I made my own module @ Blockchain.info'a API and a failover using block.io
You can check out coinbase though. Integration is super easy and works the way you want it. Plus a superb team that's always ready to help you.
Even when paying with bitcoin not accepting orders with proxy or obvious fake address is common sense.
BitPay takes around 6 confirmations minimum to reflect it in your account (atleast for our account)
Most of the time the confirmations are done within 5 minutes and I've been using BitPay WHMCS module from 2014, never had issue what so ever.
You need to contact them and their support desk is very friendly.
We usually have fast confirmations using BitPay. It's not really related to BitPay, but more to the way the bitcoin network sets 'priority'. Transactions with low or even no fee will most likely have low priority and will take hours to confirm.
