Hi,

I am developing a simple BTC app and would like to know if there's any way to use getreceivedbyaddress with bitcoind for an address that is not in the wallet?

Something similar to what blockchain.info and blockexplorer.com provides.

According to the wiki, getreceivedbyaddress "works only for addresses in the local wallet, external addresses will always show 0.".

I didn't find anything specific to this in the forum or googling it.

Thanks for your help.
