We are proud to announce that BitcoinReminder.com now supports Jabber/XMPP notifications.

From now on, you can get notifications over Google Talk or other Jabber/XMPP services.
Just like with email and text/SMS notifications, they will be totally free until the end of the beta phase.

Beside this, we added campbx and btcchina to our supported market list and reached last week the 1000-registered users border

well, another existing service is ecur.biz, there is still lack some functions, but it is free now and we want to expand it with all features required by users.
Also it allows to track not only current rate value but rate changes in percents or $/BTC

You can give BitcoinMonk a try, it's very simple to set up an alert, delivered by SMS (which is useful vs. iOS apps which rely on 3G connectivity for you to receive notifications...)

There's already an IOS app that will alert you to whatever price you want. You can set up as many alerts as you want too. Free app, free alerts.

Been using it for a while and it works well.

Don't think I can post any links here yet, so just search for an app called 'Bitcoin Ticker'. It isn't limited to one exchange either, it has gox, btce, bitstamp, btc24 and tradehill (I've only tested on gox and btc-e).

What youre looking for is

BTCprice.info

Free SMS alerts, based on % change, threshold and frequency.

Currently 8 countries, expanding to 140 within the next month or so

I can see alerts only on % change, see no threshold alerts there. Do they exist, or just in plans?

Bitcoin is skyrocketing. I would hope the crash is not going to come but it seems there is a spiral of greed and it will continue until the point where greed turns to fear and fear turn to panic.

The bubble could crash while I sleep and there is nothing that would slow a Bitcoin crash.

Do you have any idea to prevent this scenario?

I am thinking to develop a Bitcoin price alert that will send SMS to a mobile phone if the price fall to a certain limit.

Does that sound a good idea?

I'm curious - I want to build something that would allow me to set up flexible conditions to alert and also to trade. And since I'm going to build it anyway, if there's enough demand, I'd make it into a service. The question is, how much would you pay for such a service?

Fredwu,

The btcprice.info site offers conditional alerts on % change, for FREE.

We are expanding to add email, SMS to more countries, and more custom conditions (code is in beta testing and planned for launch next week)

The site will remain free.

Btw, you should pull up www.bitcoin-tools.de in Internet Explorer -- it shows up as super small.

at the ticker some times delivered not the right values during last days.
The 10 Seconds-Delay is also based on Mt.Gox-Ticker as it´s not allowed to pull more often then 10 Seconds. They allready banned one of mine server for trying it more often.

Thanks for the response. Is there a way to add a feature that disregards large, transient spikes? In other words, provide a way to not throw the alarm until it stays above or below said value for more than 30 seconds (three samples)? Maybe make this sample value user configurable? This would help reduce false positives because the wrong values in my case didn't tend to stay up for much longer than a sample or two.

Sorry for the problems with the bitcoin-tools.de...
The problem here is, that the values are received from Mt.Gox-Ticker and during last days it wasn´t very useful as source for such values...
As you may know they had several problems with their Servers as it was being under attack. Even the "big players" in market like Clark Moody or Bitcoincharts had sometimes no data.
I even have seen that the ticker some times delivered not the right values during last days.
The 10 Seconds-Delay is also based on Mt.Gox-Ticker as it´s not allowed to pull more often then 10 Seconds. They allready banned one of mine server for trying it more often.

just leave it open on your phone and you have exactly what you are describing.

Gotta be careful with this one, though, if you're using it as an alarm clock! I set it to alert me overnight if the price went over $140 (yesterday's high) or under 60 (around yesterday's low) and for whatever reason, bitcoin-tools.de got a quick blip up to 300 and it started mooing loudly and would've woken me up (even though the actual price on Mt. Gox was only hovering around 100).

Plus, turns out it didn't go off for me today when the price dropped below 60 a little after noon today, but again had a false positive moo for 10 seconds thinking the price went over 140 a little bit ago.

A crash on the scale of the 2011 crash would only ever be possible if major exchanges/institutions were hacked. If we have a crash, BTC may lose half or 75% of its value tops, and then slowly creep back up past the current paradigm. The media craze following the price rise is causing a ton of widespread adoption that is just in its infancy. The amount of strong hands is not going anywhere, there's already too much BTC-related investment that takes waaaay more to to be reversed than a simple panic.

No, because it will enable more people to sell during a panic, accelerating the crash Undecided

You're right but it will save some people.
Personally, I'm going to build this or I'm going to use one that already exist.

That sounds like a good way to stress out about the price falling, and possibly do something silly like sell all your bitcoins at a bad price.

I have a more chill suggestion: find a level of investment that you're comfortable with, and quit watching the price. You might be much happier

You're absolutely right on both. It could be this way... but with human nature you never know.

You would need to access MtGox's API to implement this.

Yup, it already exists.

I've been considering adding public access to my online bitcoin trading service which could not only alert you of the criteria being met, but actually place the set stop-loss order (or buy stop order for that matter).

If you have any input I'm trying to find out about the bitcoin community's general attitude, expectations, and thoughts on the subject which you can fill out here.

Thank you nitrous for your input.
My idea is close to btcreport.
I am not sure about people giving me their API key because I think I will not give mine to someone. I always think about create something from my point of view but the idea to build a stop loss and automaticaly cash out would be nice. It's all about trust and this is why I always post with my real name. I will think about it. Thanks again.

Bitcoin is skyrocketing. I would hope the crash is not going to come but it seems there is a spiral of greed and it will continue until the point where greed turns to fear and fear turn to panic.

The bubble could crash while I sleep and there is nothing that would slow a Bitcoin crash.

Do you have any idea to prevent this scenario?

I am thinking to develop a Bitcoin price alert that will send SMS to a mobile phone if the price fall to a certain limit.

Does that sound a good idea?
