For security reasons the bitcoind and wallet are on separate server from the site.
The communication between the site and bitcoind is over SSL RPC.
php on the site side

Now I would like to encrypt the wallet, but then how do i remotely decrypt it to send money?
to be honest i really don't have idea how this would work Sad

I really hope you are not running any service, this is very basic usage.

First you unlock the wallet, then do the operation you want. Check out the walletpassphrase command.

How do you currently use RPC through PHP ? All you do is use the walletpassphrase the same way you use other commands, passing the password you used to encrypt the wallet and a number of seconds that specifies for how long the wallet will stay decrypted.

site should connect to intermediate which in turn issues commands to bitcoind:

site connects to:

intermediate (either on separate or bitcoind server): sanitize inputs (reject sending more than x BTC for instance) and issue walletunlock

bitcoind

Assuming you're using the jsonRPCClient class and have an object of the class, you can call whatever method you want by $bitcoin->methodhere('param1', 'param2');

while it's unlocked for the timeout time everyone from the host  can take it right?

and seems like it needs to be unlocked for generating new addresses too, so chances are it will be unlocked good amount of the time
did i get it right?


if that's so, encrypting it, makes it only a tiny bit harder for someone from the host to take it, right?

i seem to have been wrong
it seems like you can generate new addresses without unlocking with bitcoind
it's just bitcoin-qt that asks for a password for that

ok is decrypting only necessary only when sending money with bitcoind?
