I'm trying to make a simple paywall which uses Etherscan API to retrieve transactions from an address (currently set to my wallet on the rinkby testnetwork) and gather all the "from" addresses (the addresses of all people who have sent money to the address in a very basic way).I managed to create a string of all the senders. Next part I need to check this list of addresses against an address entered on the webpage - if the address entered matches an address on the string of senders addresses var x - the pay wall is lifted.
This is where I'm stuck.
Both input from the input box and the x variable are stings, as shown in the console. However I cant get an input value to be matched to x.
I tried matching and using indexOf, which will work if you have entered the address manually as part of the code (shown in code) but it won't work with a value from the input box. I tried a similar thing with indexOf, same problem.
Another issue I run into if I can get this to work is that i need there to be an exact match for a full address only, as partial matches can still be found in x with the methods I've tried.
I essentially need the sender address to act as a password/key to access whatever is behind the paywall.
I'm sure there are lots of better ways of doing this, please help if you can
