Title: sendmany andanvatage? Post by: traced82 on November 16, 2011, 09:26:14 PM Hi there,
could someohne please explain me what exactly is the advantage to use sendmany when sending money? Could not find anything about it in the documents... thx! Title: Re: sendmany andanvatage? Post by: SgtSpike on November 16, 2011, 09:29:56 PM Lower fees when you're sending to several addresses.
Title: Re: sendmany andanvatage? Post by: traced82 on November 16, 2011, 09:34:31 PM ah, thank you!
is there a sample output anywhere what happens, if i call this with rpc, and ie one address is invalid? or if account has an invalid balance after n transactions? Title: Re: sendmany andanvatage? Post by: SgtSpike on November 16, 2011, 09:37:31 PM Good question. Since the sendmany is just a single transaction, even though it may involve many addresses, it will be denied if just one of those addresses is invalid (i.e. checksum doesn't match). It will also deny the entire transaction if the client wallet doesn't have enough funds to cover the entire transaction.

Title: Re: sendmany andanvatage? Post by: pc on November 17, 2011, 02:20:51 AM If you're playing with the RPC interface, I recommend you set up a client pointing at testnet to play with. That way, you can experiment with invalid stuff all you want and not worry about losing real coins.

Does anyone know if that uses 'sendmany'? Oooh, neato. It must use sendmany - that's the only way I've ever heard of to send to multiple addresses in the same transaction.Title: Re: sendmany andanvatage?

Post by: mila on November 19, 2011, 02:32:47 AM my story:
I need to fund 'a lot' of addresses to print 'offline' bitcoins in the past I had to send bitcoins to them 1 payment at time Now all I need to do is to run (offline) the script from bitaddress.org, parse it for address & private key and even get QR codes. To fund each address, all I need is to add them to a single transaction. My test tx showed up as a single tx to many addresses. Great improvement IMO. edit: blockchain entry (https://blockexplorer.com/tx/6752910285e00ca911f296a6d53ddae0321d05888b5acc1067305616d1304b11#i3307674) |
