I am messing with the Bitcoin sourcecode.
Normally when you want to send some BTC you type :
./bitcoind sendtoaddress 1ADRESSS 0.001
How would you do this in the sourcecode on a recurring basis?
So what code is needed to send a transaction to a specified address each time a block is created? Almost like a tax. and where would this code be placed?
I am learning the Inside of the Bitcoin protocol and C++ so any help would be great.

You can make use of the -blocknotify=<cmd> facility as described under: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Running_Bitcoin.
This is a nice example of how to use -walletnotify: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/24483/11221, -blocknotify can be configured in exactly the same way.

The table of RPC commands can be found in rpcserver.cpp in the static array vRPCCommands. From that you can see that the RPC command sendtoaddress is implemented by a C++ function named, appropriately enough, sendtoaddress. A quick grep shows this function is defined in rpcwallet.cpp, and its work is done by calling pwalletMain->SendMoney(). So pwallet->SendMoney() seems like the right function to call.
So you want a script that will spend your money without asking your permission? It's doable, but very dangerous. YOu would be better off looking at multi-signature or escrow transactions. – T9b – 2014-06-08T10:28:33.263
