This is the easiest way to start accepting Monero on your website. You'll need:
- Your Monero wallet address starting with
4 - Your wallet's secret viewkey
Then simply select the viewkey option in the settings page and paste your address and viewkey. You're all set!
Note on privacy: when you validate transactions with your private viewkey, your viewkey is sent to (but not stored on) xmrchain.net over HTTPS. This could potentially allow an attacker to see your incoming, but not outgoing, transactions if they were to get his hands on your viewkey. Even if this were to happen, your funds would still be safe and it would be impossible for somebody to steal your money. For maximum privacy use your own monero-wallet-rpc instance.
The most secure way to accept Monero on your website. You'll need:
- Root access to your webserver
- Latest Monero-currency binaries
After downloading (or compiling) the Monero binaries on your server, install the systemd unit files or run monerod and monero-wallet-rpc with screen or tmux. You can skip running monerod by using a remote node with monero-wallet-rpc by adding --daemon-address node.moneroworld.com:18089 to the monero-wallet-rpc.service file.
Note on security: using this option, while the most secure, requires you to run the Monero wallet RPC program on your server. Best practice for this is to use a view-only wallet since otherwise your server would be running a hot-wallet and a security breach could allow hackers to empty your funds.
