Bitcoin via Electrum

Electrum’s JSON-RPC service watches dedicated addresses, confirms transactions, and triggers token minting when funds clear.

View Integration Steps Manual Intake Form

Automation outline

  1. Electrum daemon generates invoice address.
  2. Watcher polls listunspent/gettransaction.
  3. Backend hits the token generator once confirmations reach threshold.
  4. Email token + update customer dashboard.

Integration steps

Run the Electrum daemon (`electrum daemon start`) and expose its JSON-RPC over localhost or a protected socket.

RPC

Generate addresses

Use electrum-rpc createnewaddress per order. Store the address + order ID in MariaDB.

Monitoring

Detect payments

Poll getaddresshistory or subscribe with WebSockets. Confirm when status.confirmations ≥ 1.

Token mint

Issue Vader token

Call generate_vpn_token.sh with metadata (`plan`, `txid`, address). Mark the order fulfilled and email the token display value.

Until automation goes live, capture BTC remittance manually.
