Bitcoin checkout on website - do i need to download the blockchain?
Bitcoin checkout on website - do i need to download the blockchain? Based on a previous setup, what I was thinking about doing is coding my web application to send JSON RPC calls to a bitcoin node to see if a transaction has been received. Previously I have done this by running the bitcoind on the web server, but my server isn't big enough for that now. Is it possible to just send the JSON RPC to any other bitcoin node? Is there some way of finding those nodes without just always using the same, hardcoded node? http://ift.tt/2iXEThy
