Hi, i use ncid in a raspberry, it works perfectly. Very good job.
Nevertheless i would like to add a button to hangup and put on blacklist during the call. Is it possible to do this with nicd ?

Thanks from all of us NCID developers for the compliment. :D
There isn't an option for that currently. Are you wanting to do this so that the incoming caller doesn't have a chance to leave a message on your answering machine or voicemail? Or is there some other reason to do this kind of "instant hangup"? How are you able to determine so quickly that the caller needs to be blacklisted? Which NCID client program are you using -- NCIDpop, NCID Android, or the graphical client that's part of the standard NCID distribution (clicking on the "About..." will tell us)?

I use NCIDpop and NCID android.
In fact, my first blocking system was a Cpr call blocker with a big red button.
My wife was happy with this because she was able to hangup directly when the call number was suspicious.
So, I told her that NCID is able to automatically apply the rules she manually apply pushing the red button.
We will define a Blacklist with my wife, and that's it !
Thank you for your clever feedback, Todd.

Maybe there could be a physical button like this ostentatious one to integrate to NCID on the RPi, or maybe hack an Amazon Dash. Either would certainly be a cool solution and wouldn't require making changes to existing NCID programs.

Consider using the 'blacklast' script I wrote that is available here: https://sourceforge.net/p/ncid/wiki/Useful-Scripts/
as a starting point. If I am near my RPi, I type 'blacklast' into the
console so it extracts the most recent call information and adds it to the
blacklist. This happens after a call comes in and it has be determined to be a scam.

I will see what is feasible for me.
Thank you all.
