Title: A script to forward btc to a consolidated address? Post by: sbtctalk on December 17, 2015, 05:59:06 AM I currently have 3 addresses that is receiving payment for mining and cloud mining. I used 3 addresses so i could monitor if payment comes through. I hold the private keys for these addresses.
I am thinking of writing a script to auto forward all payments received to a single address every X hours. Can any pros give ideas how should I begin? What should I read up on? Any specific api? I have IT background and some development background which I neglected in recent years. It has become a side hobby rather than a profession.

So its inevitable i have to run a bitcoind and host a node? Title: Re: A script to forward btc to a consolidated address? Post by: DannyHamilton on December 17, 2015, 11:48:32 AM Thanks. So its inevitable i have to run a bitcoind and host a node? No. There are services such as blockchain.info and coinbase.com that provide an API interface as well. I suppose the real question is, why bother forwarding the bitcoins to a separate address? What are you trying to accomplish? Why not simply leave the bitcoins where you receive them until you are ready to spend them? Title: Re: A script to forward btc to a consolidated address?

Yes. One reason is to build an offline address or cold wallet. But this may not the best approach. Another reason is to find a reason to fire up my IDE again. Lol :) I will read the api over the weekend. Title: Re: A script to forward btc to a consolidated address?
