I also found http://blockcypher.com to be quite nice. In addition to the blockchain API, they also have APIs for creating transactions and even provide web sockets and web hooks. They do not host the wallet so you do not have to

But we need to simplify things. As an Indian business serving Indian customers I can tell you that the whole thing is pretty fucked up. I cannot put it more politely than this. Most of the enterprise clients of mine have 30 to 60 day paymen

This is true. I've found that I find it vastly enjoyable working with startups. Even if it is a couple of guys with an idea, they take time to talk about the background and they are in the selling mode. I feel more energetic and worthwhile
