Balance for individual addresses

[RoadStress]

I have no idea if this was proposed before. Let's say you have 10 addresses in a wallet.dat file. Is there a way to see the balance for each address? How hard is it to implement this?

[Rluner]

Do you mean ten other addresses that have sent or received money from you?

Other than just manually searching the block chain, do you mean?

[dserrano5]

Which wallet are you talking about? Each one is different.

[Rluner]

I was guessing bitcoin_qt as its the most common.

[RoadStress]

Well i am talking about bitcoin-qt. I thought this sub forum is only for that client.

@Rluner I am talking about ten other addresses that are mine. If i receive money on 3 addresses i would like to keep track of them individually from the client.

The version of Bitcoin-Qt maintained by the Bitcoin Foundation does not have coin control built in.

Search the forum for "Yet Another Coin Control" for a version of Bitcoin-Qt that allows you this sort of control.

You can always use the listaccounts command. Ofcourse you'll need to add each address to one account.
And you'll need to use the command line or the console.
The following may also work.

Code:

listreceivedbyaddress 0 true

I assume that:

Code:

listunspent

Would work as well, but that just seems messy.

Thank you, but i find this feature useful in the main client or any other client. Why is it so hard to implement it? What is the actual process for this?

Because you can easily script something yourself using the rpc commands and get all the info you want presented the way you want.
If you don't know how to do it, pay someone. Maybe not the best idea, but it's the most practical one, I think.

From a casual user point of veiw scripting using rpc commands is almost out of discussion. Also that command is good only to see how much i received on my addresses, but if i spend money from them i still can't see how much i have left in different addresses.

It seems weird that only i have this usability problem.

Like I said at first, you need to use the accounts feature. But the only way is using RPC commands.

listaccounts    [minconf=1]    Returns Object that has account names as keys, account balances as values.

Accounts != addresses.

You will end up very confused if you don't know this and thus understand that you can't use accounts to do coin control.
