Title: recurring payments
Post by: puppies on November 19, 2015, 07:29:19 am

What is the deal regarding recurring payments? 

This hasn't.been added while I wasn't watching has it?

I ask because I recently had to stop my recurring PayPal payment to freedominradio and was kinda hoping I could offer a recurring payment in bts rather than PayPal.

If this hasn't been done then there are probably much greater priorities.  Is this change intended as an included change, or will we need to pay through a worker proposal?

I'd like to be able to promote through fdr, but need to wait till that's ready.

The blockchain supports it already .. However neither the GUI nor the CLI wallet expose a "nice" API .. you would need to build your transactions manually with the tx_builder at this stage ..

Can you show an example?

These are the operation types:

and this is how the operations look like:

and this is how I used the builder in the price feed script (feed update is type 19)

Thanks Xeroc.  I'll start digging in and see if I can wrap my head around it.
