Automated payments - Which client, how to check?

[Tommek]

Hi,

I want to do some automated payements. What Clients could I use? I don't want to use a third-party eWallet.
Also when I want to check payments, what service could I use? Is the blockchain.info - API the right thing for me?

regards

I would post in another board, but i'm still a noob.
Any idea anyone?

What do you mean by "automated payments"?

I don't think any of the currently popular wallets have any sort of automated payment system built it.  You'll have to write your own program to create payments.

For example:

Address A sends me 1 BTC I want to send them to Address B, but if I get 2 BTC I want to send them to Address C.

I'm not aware of any wallets that would do that.  You'll probably have to write your own payment processing program to handle it (or pay someone to write one for you).

Is it possible to import payments via csv in any bitcoin-client?

[DannyHamilton]

No.  Clients don't store payments.  The payments (the entire transaction history of Bitcoin actually) exist in the blockchain.  Wallets store the Bitcoin Addresses and the private keys associated with those addresses.  They display a balance by searching the blockchain for all unspent transaction outputs associated with the Bitcoin Addresses that the wallet is tracking.

Yes I know. Maybe I wasn't clear enough.

Lets say I want to make 25 transactions. I have the amount and the destination-address in one csv-file.
I don't want to put that 25 transactions into the client manually.
