Title: Auto Send Wallet Feature: development
Post by: fuzzbuzz on July 07, 2014, 06:46:36 AM
If this isn't currently offered, I'm willing to pay for the coding required to make it happen. 

The project to is build a wallet that allows auto sending.

The setup includes selecting two addresses ( from : to) , the amount of sending, frequency ( hourly,daily,weekly, monthly,quarterly,annually), duration ( length of autosend contract).  It would be nice to team up with electrum, multibit or armory for them to commit the feature once its complete.

Post your ideas as well,

The wallet would have to always be online for this to happen, unless the blockchain somehow allows for transactions to take place after a certain amount of time. Even in the latter case, the wallet would have to go back online every so often.

It can allready done with the bitcoin core client, wallet- and blocknotify and external scripts like coinrelay
see e.g. here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1zxltw/coinrelay_a_scripting_language_to_control/

Not sure why you would need that within your wallet.

Since the auto send payments are timelined, the wallet app can run in the background offline and go online when making the payment.

can a developer quote and contact me for this small project. I want it friendly for users without the need of scripts. A no technical way is a must.

This sounds interesting, I may implement this just for fun.

thanks for comment, ya its simple and I was kinda shocked that every wallet developer hasn't considered this simple option.

New feature - if Wallet A received a new deposit within x of time auto send to new wallet B address.

Let me clear up what exactly you want: Do you want standalone desktop app, or web-wallet service?

It would be easy to make an online service which would do this, but you have to either get the address which should be forwarded from that site, or you have to submit the private key to it in order to sign the transaction once the BTCs are received.

If you want standalone desktop app, which operating systems are you targeting?

The reason you haven't seen either implemented in a widespread fashion is because both features are extremely insecure.  You're actually seeing a move within the bitcoin industry in the complete opposite direction.  There are no private keys at all stored online anymore, making these features impossible.

I could do it, but i will need online wallet, multiple acc's (1/user), cronjob to send money, and i would need to code signature checker (you will be able to manage funds only with legit wallet/address signature)

What do you think about it?

standalone desktop app.

OS: windows , but should be available for linux. Since this project is working within a current wallet app, lets see what is possible.  thank you for the above comments as well. I have 1 quote to implement the autoSend feature within the Electrum Wallet.

Brief Summary:

Feature allows auto sending within a standalone desktop app for Windows Operating System

UI Features:
1 - selecting two addresses ( from : to)

2- the amount of sending

3 - frequency ( hourly,daily,weekly, monthly,quarterly,annually)

4 - duration ( length of autosend contract). like monthly contract

Thank you
