Title: Same address for different orders Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Same address for different orders * [Yzord](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yzord/) * (@yzord) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/same-address-for-different-orders/) * For about a month now my plugin takes the same bitcoin address for every different order. It looks like it is not working anymore. Normally it takes a new address for every new order, but now it seems to hang. * Anyone has an idea? * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/bitcoin-payments-for-woocommerce/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/bitcoin-payments-for-woocommerce/) Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) * Thread Starter [Yzord](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yzord/) * (@yzord) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/same-address-for-different-orders/#post-6362820) * It is really annoying. It hangs on a single address all the time for all orders. All new clients get the same btc address. Looks like it is hanging. Any idea? * [sweezy_jenny](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sweezy_jenny/) * (@sweezy_jenny) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/same-address-for-different-orders/#post-6362830) * hey Yzord! Suggestion needed! I want to use this plugin! Can you please tell me how is your experience? * Thanks a ton! * [jerry508](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jerry508/) * (@jerry508) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/same-address-for-different-orders/#post-6362852) * Hi, * Its a shame this plugin and the support isnt more active as i have not found a wordpress plugin that is completely middleman-less except this one. * In my opinion and experience, this plugin works quite well if you can manage around a few things (somebody who knows their way around basic coding can probably tweak the thing for their needs but i dont trust myself enough so i handle a few things somewhat manually): * 1. You need to use the electrum v1.9.8 style mpk (u can run old electrum v198 wallets on the new electrum software 2.x tho). But the mpk cant be the new style ones (new stle starts with xpub). I saw some workarounds suggested but i havent been successful using the new style mpk with this plugin. I havent really seen why this would be an issue but im guessing eventually itll be phased out and itd be nice to just be able to use thhe new version but for now, i dont care that i need to use the old style). * 2. You need to workaround the way cronjobs run the api calls as they need to bring back critical info to make the plugin work like checking wallet balance and confirmations and ten updating ur store orders with pertinent info. My issue has always seemed to be related to cloudflare or other roadblocks that make me feel like the order wallet balances and statuses might not be up to date. blockchain. info hasnt worked well but u can change it to other blockexplorers and get a more consistent experience and less failures. U need to look at the cronjob and the sites it links to and make the changes to other block explorers til u find ones that work for u. * so if ur items arent super hi priced and ur order volume isnt huge (this fits my scenario), i just have a wordpress button on orders mgmt page to run the cronjob manually each time i fulfill store orders. It works for me but of course i wosh it was automatic and reliable. * 4. Cancelling of unpaid/aborted orders is something i am also not completely comfortable with so again, this is a manual thing done before order fulfillment starts. Its never been a big problem but i suspect one could resolve this easily if they poje around settings enough. * With these things in mind, ive never had a problem with reuse of old addresses for different orders. And i find this plugin very valuable. * I wish there were alternatives but so far, i havent found one that can replace this plugin. Its a shame more people arent interested in it. Every other plugin that comes close requires some service provider signup (tho i would say a few service providers seem to do it for api purposes like coinsimple i think). * Mycelium was working on something that seemed like itd be an alternative but havent checked on their gear project lately. * Anybody else out there found an alternative to this plugin yet that works with wordpress and doesnt require a middleman?
