Title: Bitcoin Setup Problem Last modified: October 17, 2019 --- # Bitcoin Setup Problem * Resolved [jakemorrow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jakemorrow/) * (@jakemorrow) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bitcoin-setup-problem/) * Hello! I set up new copy of WordPress with WooCommerce and installed Nomiddleman Bitcoin and Crypto Payments for WooCommerce. There are no other plugins installed. None. In Nomiddleman Bitcoin and Crypto Payments for WooCommerce setup I choose BTC with Classic mode first. Entered one BTC address anx tried to make a purchase. I’ve got “The site is experiencing technical difficulties.” after hit Place Order button on checkout page. Then I tried to add my Master Private Key to Privacy Mode settings in BTC and getting “Bitcoin has an invalid HD MPK. Disabling Bitcoin.” * What am I doing wrong?

If your MPK starts with xpub please verify it is 111 characters long and it starts with xpub6. If you have verified this you might need to send it via email so I can debug it. * Thread Starter [jakemorrow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jakemorrow/) * (@jakemorrow) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bitcoin-setup-problem/#post-12040563) * [@nomiddleman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nomiddleman/) I’ve got a typo in my previous post. I meant not Master Private Key, but Master Public Key of course. * First I generated MPK myself via bx tool as described here: [https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/84116/get-master-private-key-from-bip39-seed](https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/84116/get-master-private-key-from-bip39-seed) * After your plugin throw an error that MPK is invalid, I checked your code and realized that the prefix supposed to start either with xpub6, ypub6 or zpub6. So apparently you require what is called extended public key. So I picked it up from a program Bitcoin.com wallet and tried again. The plugin accepted it( so it is starting with xpub6 and has a length of 111 characters), but address generation failed. * For exapmle let’s pick up extended public key from here: * [https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/80454/93412](https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/80454/93412) * xpub661MyMwAqRbcFJwcugErEvzSgeKwGgHeLyzWKKK4C3edVRDbCU8o2pueJ5S26cXgPQQVRxQXyuoKrScnNKzohc4YNefs4zXg8tAhSLfnFo7 * I am inserting it into “Privacy Mode MPK” field, pressing “Save Changes”. No error thrown. But then I see “Address creation failed, please check your mpk.” in the fields where the addresses supposed to be. * [https://ibb.co/B4wpjpz](https://ibb.co/B4wpjpz) * Any idea how to debug it? - This reply was modified 6 years, 7 months ago by [jakemorrow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jakemorrow/). - This reply was modified 6 years, 7 months ago by [jakemorrow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jakemorrow/). * Plugin Author [Nomiddleman Crypto](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nomiddleman/) * (@nomiddleman) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bitcoin-setup-problem/#post-12043766) * I’m not getting the error on my setup with this MPK. * Please add to wp-config.php and try again: * ``` define( 'WP_DEBUG', true ); define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true ); ``` * Then navigate to WordPressDirectory/wp-content/debug.log and see if there are any errors. * Thread Starter [jakemorrow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jakemorrow/) * (@jakemorrow) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bitcoin-setup-problem/#post-12043878) * I cannot see any log files whatsoever. I thought that the problem is because of permissions, but the owner of the wp-content directory is apache user (and it has write permissions) and my php-fpm is configured to run as apache user. * So that’s why I did this additionally: * ``` define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', true ); @ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 ); ``` * But I can’t see any errors still. Tried to delete MPK, save it, insert it again and save it. Still the same thing – the MPK is accepted but it can’t generate any addresses. * Thread Starter [jakemorrow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jakemorrow/) * (@jakemorrow) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bitcoin-setup-problem/#post-12043880) * What PHP version are you using and what modules are required BTW? * Plugin Author [Nomiddleman Crypto](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nomiddleman/) * (@nomiddleman) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bitcoin-setup-problem/#post-12043969) * It is possible if you don’t have the php extension ‘gmp’ installed then you are timing out when generating the addresses. * Try uncommenting the line `;extension=gmp` in your php.ini. * Thread Starter [jakemorrow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jakemorrow/) * (@jakemorrow) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bitcoin-setup-problem/#post-12044098) * Yes, that’s was the case.

At least in my case the addresses were not displaying on the purchase form without that field – the records couldn’t get inserted or selected without it. * Thread Starter [jakemorrow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jakemorrow/) * (@jakemorrow) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bitcoin-setup-problem/#post-12045621) * Next issue with Bitcoin setup. * Plugin is set for Privacy Mode MPK. Addressed being served. All good. Privacy Mode Required Confirmations set to 0 (zero) * Test purchase has been made to given address. Blockchain shows that transfer alright. But order status in Woocommerce is still ‘On Hold’. Note inside the order: ‘Privacy Mode (HD wallet) address BITCOIN-ADDRESS is awaiting payment of 0.0005 BTC. Order status changed from Pending payment to On hold.’ * Transfer has no confirmations yet, but 30 minutes has elapsed since it’s visible in blockchain. * What seems to be a problem here? * Thread Starter [jakemorrow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jakemorrow/) * (@jakemorrow) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bitcoin-setup-problem/#post-12052270) * Logs: * > 69 2019-10-18T22:10:04+00:00 CRITICAL Uncaught Error: Call to a member function > get_id() on null in /var/holland/gui/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/nomiddleman- > crypto-payments-for-woocommerce/src/NMM_Gateway.php:167 > 70 Stack trace: 71# > 0 /var/holland/gui/wordpress/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(286): NMM_Gateway- > >thank_you_page(53) 72 #1 /var/holland/gui/wordpress/wp-includes/class-wp-hook. > php(310): WP_Hook->apply_filters(”, Array) 73 #2 /var/holland/gui/wordpress/ > wp-includes/plugin.php(465): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) 74 #3 /var/holland/gui/ > wordpress/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/templates/checkout/thankyou.php(77): > do_action(‘wooco mmerce_tha…’, 53) 75 #4 /var/holland/gui/wordpress/wp-content/ > plugins/woocommerce/includes/wc-core-functions.php(249): include(‘/var/holland/ > gu…’) 76 #5 /var/holland/gui/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/ > shortcodes/class-wc-shortcode-checkout.php(2 48): wc_get_template(‘checkout/ > thanky…’, Array) 77 #6 /var/holland/gui/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/ > includes/shortcodes/class-wc-shortcode-checkout.p in /var/holland/gui/wordpress/ > wp-content/plugins/nomiddleman-crypto-payments-for-woocommerce/src/NMM_Gateway. > php on l ine 167 78 * Thread Starter [jakemorrow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jakemorrow/) * (@jakemorrow) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bitcoin-setup-problem/#post-12052294) * The log above might be unrelated to the issue. * I just don’t quite understand how K can debug it. There suppose to be some task scheduler for wordpress. In Linux these kind of things supposed to be handled by programs like cron. But apparently in WordPress that kind of scheduler is not used and instead, apparently, the scheduler is triggered by php – i.e. by client. If that is so, then – is it triggered by login to the admin panel of WP? Or by the user browsing a page with order? So, how I can trigger the plugin to check the balance of the order? And how I can catch debug logs from it? * Thread Starter [jakemorrow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jakemorrow/) * (@jakemorrow) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bitcoin-setup-problem/#post-12053930) * Uncommented the log function from the NMM_Util.php module. Can’t see any nmm. log file yet. * Installed plugin WP-Control to monitor what is going on with job scheduler of WP. It seems that scheduler wasn’t working. * > There was a problem spawning a call to the WP-Cron system on your site. This > means WP-Cron events on your site may not work.

So it is kinda scary to use this in production. Is there any other data providers available in the plugin in case if blockexplorer.com is down? - This reply was modified 6 years, 7 months ago by [jakemorrow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jakemorrow/).
