How to program automated future BTC sends.

[AbEnd954]

Hello,

I know that this is possible but I don't know how it's done.

I have some nieces and nephews that I want to send BTC to on their milestone birthdays (20, 30, 40, 50, & 60). I want to set it up so that it happen automatically. They are still pretty young and I most likely won't be around for most of those birthdays.

Thanks for you help.

You can create timelocked transactions that cannot be confirmed until after a certain date or block height. However, since the transaction will be unconfirmed, you will need to keep the transaction somewhere and have a server broadcast it at the appropriate times. You could also give the transaction to your nieces and nephews (or their parents) now so that they can broadcast it in the future to receive the Bitcoin.
