Hello all!
I'm a long time lurker, first time caller. I really like the way blockchain.info processes payments, however I'd like to not have to be dependent on anyone else.
I want to basically recreate what they do, but just for my own personal use (at first anyway). I want to be able to acknowledge payments in realtime without any human intervention.
I've got it to this so far:
Generate a new address for a payment.
--?
Mark account as credited.
How am I supposed to know when a payment gets in? Will it require bitcoind to be fully synced and running in the background, at which point I have to enter in all of the receiving addresses into the bitcoin client? I would prefer not to depend on any outside API's, but maybe if I could query an API (for short-term use) providing the address, I could get a result of any incoming payments?
I've been reading gobs and gobs of information on bitcoin since early 2012, but didn't really pull the trigger then like I should have, and this bit still eludes me.
Any help or links much appreciated! Thanks!
