Thanks guys. I think I'll try the bitcoind locally. Didn't even know you could do that, everything google showed me was a bunch of people asking if bitcoinqt supported this, and that answer is no.
Spesmilo was great for this, I can't believe no client since has this capability.
Topic: Is there a client that connects to remote bitcoind? (Read 653 times)
Depending on what you want to do exactly, installing the server script for electrum on your server (and electrum client on your desktop) might help.
in bitcoind, you can use -rpcconnect= to control another bitcoin-qt/bitcoind node with rpc enabled.
I have bitcoind -daemon running on a webserver, everything is working fine and I can control it from the server but I can't wrap my head around json-rpc, I read some about it and it seems like some command line arguments, I guess I can learn it but in pursuit of laziness I'd just like to connect via a client. Basically, I just want to check the balance, not even send anything.
Maybe 2 years ago I used spesmilo to do what I wanted, but it doesn't work after .8x something. It was so nice and easy.
Tried bitcoin-js-remote, followed to the letter but my w8 PC doesn't like it, I think it's a java thing since nothing is clickable, doesn't work in my browser at all.
So is there any clients around that allow this or do I have to just learn about json-rpc?
