Title: Transaction received trigger?
Post by: ryepdx on April 15, 2011, 02:25:03 AM
I'm trying to develop a bitcoin service, but I can't seem to figure out how to hook into the "bitcoins received" event in the bitcoind client. Is this even possible? Do I just have to poll the client every so often?

Please let me know. I've been Googling and searching the forums and I can't seem to find any information on this.

Thanks!

Yes, you have to poll.

Usually, with most websites, you have a customer order to something that gives you a hint to start polling.

In the future, we'll have some 'push' gadgetry that will do what you want, but that does not exist yet.
