SoylentNews Bitpay on the Fritz

Sometime recently, something in our setup (or in the bitpay API) changed and left us unable to receive notifications of bitcoin payments. The bad news is the payments still went through but the subscriptions were not rewarded on SoylentNews. We realized the error and credited the accounts (there were only 4 such cases) giving extra subscription time to make up for the error.

Bitcoin subscriptions are temporarily disabled until we can work out exactly what happened and avoid it in the future.

Thank you, and our apologies for any inconvenience.

    See, and that's the problem (for those following along) - Bitpay et al are supposed to make this easy so that nobody has to do this sort of checking (although it's still obviously good due diligence).
