Title: Console-based Bitcoin Client?
Post by: flaab on September 28, 2012, 12:43:36 PM
Hello everybody,

I am new in this forum and recently new to bitcoin. I am a faily-experienced programmed and I would like to make a bitcoin-based web application which is able to received payments and answer to those events automatically.

So my question is simple: all btc clients I have seen are visual. Is there a linux-shell-based BTC client that runs as a daemon and launches events on payments?

Thank you very much!

Hello,

the client from bitcoin.org has a cmdline version, look for bitcoind.
But it doesn't launch events on payments afaik, you would have to check to see if a payment arrived. (but can be scripted etc)
