The API ListReceivedByAddress allows me to view a list a sum* of all the transactions that an address has received. This returns an array listing the sum of what was sent.

  • If the address is reused for more than one transaction, what is the expected value of "confirmations"?

  • Is the value of confirmations the Max, Min, or Average?

  • Should there be an entry listing how many transactions were sent to that address?

*Footnote I'm not entirely sure that the ListReceivedByAddress actually returns a sum of all transactions to that address. I assume it's possible that the value could be the first, last,or sum of all transactions to an address.

If the address is reused for more than one transaction, what is the expected value of "confirmations"?

Quote from bitcoin wiki:

"confirmations" : number of confirmations of the most recent transaction included

Also, I think you might want to change the value of minconf that you pass to listrecievedbyaddress if you're concerned about knowing how many confirmations a transaction has.

Should there be an entry listing how many transactions were sent to that address?

Why would you use that though?
