I am attempting to create my own Bitcoin API for a website I have been building over the recent years and I need some sort of transaction system to handle payments with Bitcoin. I currently own a plethora of Bitcoin addresses already and so if possible, I could recycle those without needing to have the computing power to constantly make a new address.
My logic behind the code it is that I will have a request sent to the server stating that a transaction has been started with a given address. Every so often, I need to check this address for a transaction that is newer than the timestamp of the log which says '[timestamp] a new transaction has started with x address'. I will then track the balance of this transaction and if it becomes the amount I wish it to be then I will respond to the server stating that the transaction has been complete.
Although this may sound complicated, it sort-of already works using a third part API but instead, I would instead like to use the Bitcoin-Cli to check transactions of a given address rather than relying on some shoddy API that stops my code from working half the time.
If anyone has the know-how please let me know as that would be fantastic! If anyone knows a better alternative to this system then please let me know too.
