This is part of a series of questions stemming from here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=909391.0

I need help creating new RPC call list  that can give me the following information or if you know how to change/add a few lines that will provide the following results. (explicitly)

1) count of all incoming wallet tx - then all incoing wallet tx by account
2) count of all outgoing wallet tx  - then all outgoing tx by account

3) count of transactions to a specific address
4) count of transactions from a specific address

5) total value of all incoming wallet tx
6) total of all outgoing wallet tx

7) count of mined blocks by this specific wallet
8 )  total transactions in the entire blockchain
10) date of each accounts first tx

I have re-introduced IRC in my version of the wallet and wish to use it to automatically send payment requests (URIs), if anyone can help with that too  

I need to make these changes in the core client as the information should be displayed there. I think once i get this i'll be all set and within a week or two i can explain what it is exactly i am up to.

Assistance is most appreciated.

**note  i know of the existing call list and listtransactions, however it does not explicitly give these results.

In my experience, "accounts" in Bitcoin Core do not work the way most people want them to work.  Most people find that they'll be much better off implementing accounts outside of Bitcoin Core in their own system and just using Bitcoin Core as a gateway.

If you think that the accounts are going to meet your needs, or you've assumed that they will meet your needs, and you haven't taken the time yet to understand exactly how Bitcoin Code manages accounts, then you are probably going to be unpleasantly surprised later.


Certainly.  My rates are 0.33 BTC per hour, and I'll need well specified requirements for the exact behavior you expect for each new call.  Furthermore, you'll need to have reasonable expectations for performance given the constraints of scanning the entire blockchain for some of the information that you are requesting.

You are right, and at some point DOS and any other number of issues will bite me where it hurts, but i'd like to get a proof of concept out first, then if it can be scaled, push on with refinements.

The reason it has to be in the core client , is that it will be decentralized. for now it seems like i am building up to a centralized model, and it is the only way i see of testing the theory, once i prove it works i'll then start asking questions that will lead to decentralization.

For now i need this model to work. Already i have been warned away from IRC ,so i need to re-think how i a going to handle that part

As for your rates, hell if i could pay that much, i would. I have faith in my idea, just wish my wallet had as much faith in me.

So you envision a world where one has the idea, the knowledge and understanding  and of course the means to back up their idea?

I'm sorry , but in my world that does not compute. The general way things work for us mere mortals, is we come up with an idea, we investigate, poke and ask questions. We then try our best to get it to work even just once under lab conditions, we then tell people and show them. From there on, experts in the field become very interested and it takes on a whole different face, and if it's good enough backing will materialize. You are saying that in order to have an idea that you can take seriously, i need to know all there is to know about bitcoin protocol. If i have said something that is out of it's scope, please point it out. If only experts are allowed to bring up ideas and try things out, then why do we call ourselves a community? What is the point in opensource if people cant play around with it?

Just to add some sugar in my tea, the points raised and answers given by gmaxwell have already pushed me past a lot of stuff i had on my mind as well as giving me new things to worry about and new problems to solve. Basically in one post he answered 1 question directly, gave e an idea on what to do for 7 others and warned me away from a fatal mistake.

Please stop trying to poke holes in my kite and help me build a stronger one. I can understand your frustration with people's questions and ideas sometimes, i just need a helping hand.

IMHO its pretty clear and I have no idea why bitcreditscc tries to keep something a secret that clearly is none,

Oh yes of course gmaxwell, it's a con, that's why i ask publicly .  /thick choking sarcasm

You are free to oppose my position, but the previous thread got example uses for my ideas and questions without any further input from me, to which you replied in a typical tech manner.

And by the way i'm not just one to complain, you'll note that since i opened this account, i also participate on github/bitcoin when i can. And everytime i bump into something in the code you will see questions and pull requests. So don't lump me in whatever group conned you for an altcoin, i asked questions and asked for help, i didn't ask for your money or anything unreasonable, it's a choice whether to broadcast my entire list of to-do's or not, choosing to selectively release information is the act of a shrewd person and like you clearly stated, there are cons around here and it is best at times to play your cards close. One would then point out your fixation on my releasing information rather than actually trying to help, meaning that you are more interested in the ideas behind my questions than in helping. It's like asking for directions to to a toilet and then getting quizzed about the specifics of your plans in the toilet.


of course, let's not point out that you yourself have thrown a few fixes at some of these "competing" altcoins.

I really appreciate your help thus far don't get me wrong, hell if you had 5 minutes a day, i'd love to bounce of what i have thought about after each conversation with you and how i propose to deal with the obstacles.

Like i tried to say earlier, put down the shotgun and instead of saying my questions and ideas are a con, pay attention and help when you can. there is likely more good to come out of exploration than staying in the village

6m ICO and 87% minable .... wow. Is there like a template for these scams?   

What does my signature have to do with scamcoins? Unless you need a way to launder your ico funds when you run, in which case I highly recommend you look into such a service.
