Title: Pay to contributors Post by: s2 on September 04, 2014, 11:30:42 PM Can anyone point to some script (ideally in nodejs or php via the RPC to bitcoind) that can read the addresses that have paid funds to a specific address?
Title: Re: Pay to contributors Post by: andytoshi on September 04, 2014, 11:33:13 PM Addresses don't pay funds. They are static identifiers for transaction outpoints, more akin to an invoice number than anything actively involved in transactions. There is a wiki article by iwilcox (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/From_address) on this subject.

Still it seems technically possible for the most common transaction but yes I'll start considering alternatives. Thanks again. Title: Re: Pay to contributors Post by: andytoshi on September 05, 2014, 12:11:29 PM If you try refunding transactions given only the information available in your receiving transactions, you will be wrong a significant amount of the time. You cannot tell "the most common transactions" from others.
