Hi,
What's the best way to catch transaction information for automated handling of purchases on a website. For example, the instawallet site, is it open source?

You could use blockexplorer.com to track the transactions. The client shows how many confirmations the transactions have received; you could make use of that.

The listtransactions command will do it, or listreceivedbyaddress. Most sites use JSON RPC to communicate with a bitcoind daemon, either running on the webserver or elsewhere.
You can play with it a bit on the command line to see how it all works. Normally, you use getnewaddress to create a new address, then setaccount to associate the address with an account (just a name), then "listtransactions" to see if it has arrived yet.

I routinely ignore posters with paid advertising in their sigs. You should too.

I will look into this soon too and would love to see or else develop a WHMCS plugin that will support payments and invoices via Bitcoins. It will probably be a bit more tricky than a standard PayPal transaction/invoice but should be possible.

Yeah I guess it requires some modified Bitcoin client.

No, it works just fine with the stock client. You may need to create or edit a bitcoin.conf file to tell the software to listen for API requests.

The stock client is the one you can download from here. |
