Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Extracting currency names from wallets or using RPC

Seemingly everyone here has forgotten about the version byte used in addresses! Create a new address over RPC, decode the base58 into hex, and the first byte will indicate what network you are on. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/List_of_address_prefixes If the item isn't on this list, just follow this procedure with your whatevercoin, and you'll get the address byte. Clever. I think I missed an important information: I'd like the process to be done automatically in a script. The ideal think would be that if I add a new coin wallet in my wallet directory, the script would be able to extract the wallet amount and its unit. For example, if I create a Darkcoin wallet there and mine some coins, I would get from the script something like: "234.56 QRK". |

Two quick ways that I could think of are:
- Maintain a manual input field to allow the user to enter the coin name.
- Maintain a list of addresses of each coin and validate each one till you get a match.
The idea here is that you should not have to enter any information. The goal of the script is to give you a list of your wallet amounts completely automatically. |

Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Extracting currency names from wallets or using RPC

Hi all,
I've written a simple script to extract the amount of coins in all my cryptocurrency wallets.
My problem now is that amounts alone won't help me much. What I need would be to match them with their currency name.
Does anyone know, given a wallet data directory and a cryptocoin binary (*-qt.exe), how to extract the associated currency unit (BTC, LTC, DOGE, DRK, etc.)?
I didn't see this information anywhere in the RPC endpoints, and I don't think the wallet database files are self-aware enough to tell me.
Thanks for any help,
