This is a great project, and I really like where it's going. I'm glad you're upfront about bootstrapping this project using third party services, but even more happy that you've architected this in a way where removing those third party dependancies will not be a problem. That's going to be killer for a gateway like this.

Guys, with cointopay.com we allow you to run your own altcoin node and use that to accept payments. Just found this initiative, this is great and we want to contribute for a solution that takes out the middleman. In someway Cointopay is also a middleman, but at least our mindset is the correct one regarding decentralization, hence we want to help.<p>@romansnitko, can you add me to skype: spunxz

It might be installed on your server, but it&#x27;s relying on a heavily centralized service (blockchain.info) that is frequently down for many hours at a time. Even worse you&#x27;re giving them information about every payment you process, and giving them an opportunity to feed you falsified data whenever they feel like it. I&#x27;m not sure this is at all what we should be encouraging in the interests of safety and decentralization.
