Plugin is not managing addresses well

  • I keep having to adjust the gap limit of Electrum upward. The wp_bwwc_btc_addresses table is over 5000 addresses and continues to creep upward, which I think is unreasonable behaviour from the plugin. Takes a long time for wallet to synchronize. Plugin users should not have to monitor the addresses table, keep moving the gap limit up or change to a new wallet every few weeks. Do you have a fix for this problem which does not require creating a new wallet and entering a new master public key in settings?

    5000 addresses?
    If you have only 1/10-th of these to be paying customers you can be really happy about your bitcoin store and revenues.

    If these are “tests” orders generated by yourself or result from some sort of attack on your site – than it certainly justifies some extra monitoring effort from your side.

    I plan to improve and automate cleanup, detailed notifications and automatic cancellation of unpaid orders as time and resources permit.

    While giving it 2 stars in your review for above reasons – bear in mind that this plugin is the result of work taken place purely in free time and is purely open source.

    Thanks for taking the time to respond. The plugin is generating in excess of ten times more addresses than orders.

    The store has not been attacked and I only generate a couple of test orders when needed to verify operation, as would anyone. I just had to delete the plugin and start with a new installation because wallet synchronization was a real problem.

    Despite the behaviour I have not lost any orders or bitcoin, so I am willing to continue using in hope that the problems will be corrected.
