Title: Scritp to auto send bitcoins to person
Post by: french on May 23, 2011, 10:50:50 PM

Hello, I am creating a site along the lines of bitcoin faucet but a little different. I am wondering if there is a open source script or how I can go about of making it so that when someone clicks "submit" or "withraw" it automatically sends them lets say 1BTC.

Thanks for any help :D

What language do you want it in?

Someone posted a very simple PHP library for talking to the bitcoind server: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=9304.0

That would allow you to send bitcoins to someone by doing something like

Code:

include_once("Bitcoin.php");

$rpcUser = "username";
$rpcPass = "password";
$url = "http://localhost:8332";
$address = "whatever";
$amount = 5;

$bitcoin = new Bitcoin($url, $rpcUser, $rpcPass);

$bitcoin->sendToAddress($address, $amount);

(Untested code)

You would have to be running bitcoind on the same server as the web server.

If you want something more specific done, I've done a reasonable amount of PHP and I work cheap.

This is how to do it without the library, though you will need the JSON RPC Client, found here: http://jsonrpcphp.org/?page=download&lang=en

Code:

<?php
require_once "classes/jsonRPCClient.php";

define ("BC_HOST", "127.0.0.1"); // set bc client addy
define ("BC_USER", "user"); // set rpc user
define ("BC_PASS", "pass"); // set rpc password
define ("BC_PORT", "8332"); // set rpc port

$bitcoin = new jsonRPCClient("http://".BC_USER.":".BC_PASS."@".BC_HOST.":".BC_PORT);
?>

Then you have a list of functions you can do with their parameters here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Original_Bitcoin_client/API_Calls_list

For example for what you want to do:

Code:

<?php
$bitcoin->sendtoaddress(<bitcoinaddress>, <amount>);
?>

Make sure the amount is not a string or you will get errors. Remember you can use the commands from that website in place of "sendtoaddress" to fit your needs.

Can anyone please help me set something lke this up? I'm looking for a sort of "investment" tool as you will that automatically sends myself bitcoins every week, month, heck every year. How can I find a faucet of sorts that auto-pays myself into another btc wallet from the faucet wallet over specified automated send times.

How hard would this be to set up?

This feature of

Auto-Forward/Send coins from Address A to Address B automatically on intervals for payment systems

It should be built within the Wallet.

Just select the two addresses, the fee, desired amount , duration, and frequency of payment. Done

Any coins with this feature within the wallet already?
