There is the "importaddress" RPC call, which works the same as "importprivkey" except that you a pass it an address. > Also, I believe that is going towards the 0.10 release, is there a rough ETA > for a release candidate? Yes - aim is in a few months, probably by the end of the year. AFAIK there are no nightly builds at this moment. Warren Togami was building them for a while (at http://nightly.bitcoin.it/) but he stopped some time around June. It's not recommended to use master without at least a little bit of development/debugging experience of yourself (to trace down problems when they appear), so it's best to build it yourself if you're going to test day-to-day development versions.
