you could still create a new address for any transaction, if only one person knows that address, it’s pretty obvious where bitcoins came from.

true that you can’t get a list of all transactions from JSON yet, but from received credits by addresses, or labels, no need to know about generated coins on a payment-system, or about sending, when your system is only supposed to accept payments.

It’s a good temporary solution, and the only drawback I can see is that it requires a different/separate install, as opposed to just being something server-side. Granted, I can’t come up with an alternative either, but it IS a bit of barrier-to-entry for some people.

It is, I hope that ultimately this is just a proof of concept, and once it’s shown to work it can be integrated into the client (using the same port and URLs).

nods It’s a good initiative, and ANY development in the interest of bitcoins right now is good development.

I’ve been trying to encourage someone to write and release some sample Python code showing the recommended way to do the typical accounting stuff, but to no avail.  It would be nice if you didn’t have to re-invent the wheel like you’re doing here.  Search on getnewaddress and you should find a thread where I gave a small fragment of sample pseudocode.
