Title: Identify blockchain.info forwarding addresses
Post by: john_doe on April 08, 2013, 03:01:43 PM
I regularly use blockchain.info's payment forwarding service (aka "receive payments API"). Do you guys know if it's possible to determine whether a given address is actually a forwading address and, if so, where it is forwarding to? I know there's a "Check Callback Response Log" feature (http://blockchain.info/api/api_receive), but that only works when blockchain.info invoked the callback address and received a reply, which only happens once the address has been used (and also when the service works, which unfortunately doesn't happen 100% of time :o )
