because they created a value for (addressX_input - addressX_output). You can get the balance of specific addresses via client but the way its calculated for everyone is through the blockchain
Ok, but their must be a way to grab the balance by querying blockchain.info ?
By the way thanks for your info, it's really appreciated !
Have you looked through the blockchain API?
Yes, I think the solution may be:
http://blockchain.info/address/$bitcoin_address?format=json
Which will return this:
{
"hash160":"660d4ef3a743e3e696ad990364e555c271ad504b",
"address":"1AJbsFZ64EpEfS5UAjAfcUG8pH8Jn3rn1F",
"n_tx":17,
"n_unredeemed":2,
"total_received":1031350000,
"total_sent":931250000,
"final_balance":100100000,
"txs":[--Array of Transactions--]
}
And then, I isolate the "final_balance" value
Not too sure how to implement it on a website tho, but I think it might be the way to go...
