Bitcoin Forum

Is there any way to verify bitcoin transactions?Cant find something on the forum..

I guess the rpc api only works for wallet internal transactions, right?!?

Thanks in advance..

Something beyond the search tools in blockexplorer-type services? http://blockchain.info/

If you look at the needed functions the api provides:

"Address Lookups

    getreceivedbyaddress/Address - Get the total number of bitcoins received by an address (in satoshi) Do not use to process payments!
    getsentbyaddress/Address - Get the total number of bitcoins send by an address (in satoshi) Do not use to process payments!
    addressbalance/Address - Get the balance of an address (in satoshi) Do not use to process payments!
    addressfirstseen/Address - Timestamp of the block an address was first confirmed in"

Are there any other ideas?

What exactly do you want to achieve?

I want to verify incoming payments.. if bitcoins were received -> do something.. shouldnt that be possible?

You could register at my service www.bitcoinmonitor.net and receive confirmations as http callback or email (or rss-feed) for payments to any BitcoinAddress, independent of your wallet or your local bitcoin instance.

Oh thanks.. that sounds nice..

So if I understand this right they`ll send you the notfication as a JSON String to a callback URL?

Does somebody use this service?Any experiences?
