Watch-only addresses in the wallet
|
||||||
|
==================================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The wallet can now track transactions to addresses (or scripts) for which you
|
||||||
|
do not have the private keys.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This can be used to track payments without needing the private keys online on a
|
||||||
|
possibly vulnerable system. In addition, it can help for (manual) construction
|
||||||
|
of multisig transactions where you are only one of the signers.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
One new RPC, `importaddress`, is added which functions similarly to
|
||||||
|
`importprivkey`, but instead takes an address or script (in hexadecimal) as
|
||||||
|
argument. After using it, outputs credited to this address or script are
|
||||||
|
considered to be yours.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The following RPCs have optional support for watch-only addresses:
|
||||||
|
`getbalance`, `listreceivedbyaddress`, `listreceivedbyaccount`,
|
||||||
|
`listtransactions`, `listaccounts`, `listsinceblock`, `gettransaction`. See the
|
||||||
|
RPC documentation for those methods for more information.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Compared to using `getrawtransaction`, this mechanism does not require
|
||||||
|
`-txindex`, scales better, integrates better with the wallet, and is compatible
|
||||||
|
with future block chain pruning functionality. It does mean the address needs
|
||||||
|
to added to the wallet before the payment, though.
