Title: Is there a wallet that can schedule transactions?
Post by: 420 on July 30, 2012, 04:22:17 AM
Searched but couldn't find one, since pools send payments automatically, wouldn't it be great to schedule payments that go out after you know your funds will be in your wallet?

example instead of having to wake up in the middle of the night if you owe someone a payment, have it scheduled to send out, maybe even as soon as the funds are available

easy could be done in php with cron jobs with a bitcoin client running and rpc commands

that's complicated

something with a GUI

FYPFY.  The answer is no and it probably a good idea.  What you are describing is a hot wallet and every major hack/theft of bitcoins involved a hot wallet (from MyBitcoin to Bitcoinica).
