Using BitPay with any wallet

Hey fellas,

I faced the problem with the BitPay invoice. The recommend different wallets on their site: https://bitpay.com/pay-with-bitcoin  

When you paying with bitpay and you don't use such a wallet.. there is a little workaround I just found on Bitcointalk: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2642207.msg29154496#msg29154496 

When you use bitpay, you usually getting an address like this: bitcoin:?r=https://bitpay.com/i/ORDER-ID

That doesn't work with the most wallets. Didn't work with mine (blockchain).

 

So, the post on Bitcointalk says that you use following trick:

You have your BitPay address bitcoin:?r=https://bitpay.com/i/ORDER-ID

And you use that ID on this https://bitpay.com/invoice-noscript?id=

Which would look like this then: https://bitpay.com/invoice-noscript?id=ODER-ID

That opens following window:

It looks that way, bc I already paid it. But when the invoice is not paid.. you'll get the Wallet-Adress where you have to send the given amount (also displayed at that page).

Don't fuck this up! The amount that is given there, is the pay-amount! You still need to add the transaction-fee on yourself!

Also... doing this is on your own risk! The best would be to use a wallet they recommend!

I really don't understand why Bitpay mandated this new way of paying.  I read their announcement and just don't buy it.  I can do simple sums.  Thanks for the work around, not sure I'll use it, easier just to be down on Bitpay.  I hope they get some serious competition soon.

Actually this workaround doesn't work anymore.. 

I also couldn't find another way. I switched to a bitpay wallet instead.

They have different wallets they work with them. If you use one of them or the bitpay wallet, it should be no problem at all!

The really interesting thing, was just a couple of days ago I went to load some money onto my bitpay card and the BITPAY wallet didn't work!  I was like WTF, this company could mess up a wet dream.  Fortunately, the Bitpay wallet would send my coins somewhere else, so I cashed out elsewhere.  I don't know what Bitpay is thinking, but glad it is working for you right now.

I had the same issue and made a quick app to fix it: https://alexk111.github.io/DeBitpay/ It extracts the transaction requirements (bitcoin address, amount, min tx fee) out of Bitpay invoices (the same way the supporting wallets do), and enables to make direct transactions without moving bitcoins to intermediate "supported" wallets. Hope it will help.

But most sites i have used like bitrefill and some other cant clearly remember have coinbase and only 1 or 2 sites had bitpay. I think coinbase is widely used :)

Yea like a common wallet which every single site would accept so that we dont have to pay any hectic fees to cover the transactions like to send 1 dollar we spend like 3 dollars ffs
