Transaction to IP Address Rather than Bitcoin Address

IN THE BEGINNING, the ability to send to an IP address rather than (or perhaps in addition to) a Bitcoin address was considered.

bitcoind transaction to ip address

I cant figure out how to send a transaction to an ip address from bitcoind command line interface. Has the function been implemented yet? (linux 64 if it matters)

It’s not implemented.

It turned out nobody liked that mode of transfer anyway, so ithasn’t had much development attention.
