Title: Question abount getting the sender's address in a transaction
Post by: Cerebrum on March 17, 2011, 01:44:24 PM
So, I've been looking around at the json-RPC calls in the forum and at the documentation for the server daemon and maybe I'm derping terribly, but I can't figure out how to get the sender's bitocin address when I receive a transaction. I'd like to create an exchange service, but I would need the sender's bitcoin address for each transaction, so could someone explain to me how this is done?

See http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4220.0 and many threads before that one.

Here is my other thread,

I've got most of the code to implement this addition completed, but I need to update it to use sipa's latest modifications.  I'm waiting on his code to be approved into the main bitcoin codebase.
