OK, here's a quick development status update on the RPC version:

Open issues:

- some transactions fail to be captured. this is being investigated.
- real-time fee calculation appears to be unfeasible/too slow
given the current bitcoind API and exposed data structures.
- new block notification is not implemented yet.

It's great to see some progress being made:)

-Can this just be to my not so well connected node? I mean blockchain.info got around 1000 connections with nodes all around the world I got 8 connections with one node..
-Can't this be due to latency I bet you got around 80+ ms to my rpc server instead of 1< ms on localhost.

- Yes this is the most likely explanation in my opinion too. Based on my estimates, I believe that with 15 connections, the RPC version should be able to see 99-100% of all transactions in real time. This still needs to be verified in practice (and also depends on how well connected those 15 nodes are.)

- If someone wants to take a stab at implementing fee calculation, all the better! I don't have enough time for that currently.
