Hey,

I am looking for somethething similar - automatically send % from every incomming payment to a particular BTC address with Electrum. Does that code work with the latest version 2.0.4 ?
I tried to find any documentation about the Python console scripts but it was very poor.

Would be awesome if someone could fix this Smiley (In connection with the latest electrum version - which is still under development on git - 1.9)

Does a json interface exist already in the latest version?

Start
Code:
sudo python  /root/.electrum/forwarder.py --config /root/.electrum/forwarder.conf

./forwarder.conf
Code:

    # Also make sure that prior unconfirmed items are enough to cover the fee
    # to avoid pending withdrawals being re-spent and causing unnecessary server errors.

# Perform an initial send try to bootstrap the process

# If foreground scanning - use loop w/ Ctrl+C break method
if foreground_scanning:
    try:
        while True:
            ready = queue.get(True, 1000000)
            if not ready:

            allow_put = False
            try_send()
            allow_put = True
    except KeyboardInterrupt as e:
        print "Ending server"

# Shutdown server objects
verifier.stop()
synchronizer.stop()
interface.stop()

# Due to daemon threads - follow electrum GUI rules for waiting
time.sleep(0.1)
print "terminated"

The script shows sometimes some errors but it does what it should.
All the incoming payments will be forwarded to the address provided in the forwarder.conf.

-> BIG THANKS to harningt

PS: It doesn't work with the latest development version (git 1.9 electrum) as their are some errors with the WalletVerifier function.
Perhaps someone can fix this.

I'll give this a try Smiley

You are awesome! The script works fine. (0.15BTC sent!)
Thanks Smiley Fun hacking Electrum src code.
Confirming receipt for benefit of others.

Electrum is installed on a Ubuntu 12.04 VPS (Server edition - No GUI)

I tried to write a python script that interacts with electrum (electrum getbalance, electrum payto)
The main problem is that it does not only reply with json.

Code:
root:~# electrum getbalance
Connected to electrum.bitcoins.sk:50002
14qwj8tUBVVJ9sNqYnHSrp17z9PDywYUKN
{
    "confirmed": "0.0190837"
}

What's the best way to get the actual balance of the wallet (confirmed + unconfirmed) in a python variable? (-> electrum payto *mybtcaddress* $BTCamout)


what you want is a json interface; this does not exist yet.

you could try to do it entirely entirely in a python script (see examples in the 'scripts' directory),
or with a simple script that you execute in the python console ( you just do run('filename') in the console)

Hello,

With my Master Public Key I generate bitcoin addresses in my Webshop using Bitcoin Payments for WooCommerce. As soon as I receive a payment it should be forwarded to my bitcoin address.

How can I automate this process? (forwarding the incoming payments to another bitcoin address using electrum)

Language: Python

Thanks!
