I'm curious as to what the best (in anyone's opinion) client / wallet system is, when developing a dice / game website.
From my initial investigations, bitcoind is the only client that provides a partially decent "api"; it's json rpc. But as it has been mentioned in many posts, it is fairly cumbersome in the way of wallet management, and monitoring.
Other clients seem to be meant for manual management of wallets. Though many of those are open source, so it could have RPCs added, or http end points.
So as far as I'm concerned, the best way to go is the wallet management would need to be custom built, but monitoring of addresses would be done via bitcoind RPCs.
Please note, we are talking about server-side solutions, not 3rd party blockchain hosting, or services, that provide limited calls, and are much slower than accessing blockchain data locally.
