You say some modifications, anything in particular?

Everything that has to do with the monitoring and notification system.

Personally, I'd like to see some of the more traditional altcoins added, such as Litecoin, Monero & Dash for example.

Sounds good. Whenever I get a free weekend.

Are you planning on offering a similar service, but for certain popular altcoins?

Certainly possible. What coins would be first on your list?

I'm not really into tokens or Ethereum, so I wouldn't really mind if those got added, though other people might think otherwise.

Something like Litecoin would also be easiest to add, I think. It's pretty similar to Bitcoin Smiley

I.e. are you using bitcoind to drive all this?

Yes, we're running a full node with a few modifications.

Awesome project, do you mind me asking what platform you built it on?

Why does this look exactly like the previous bitcoinnotify.com ?

Hey, I'm a developer, not a designer Wink
It's a default CSS.

Doesn't really bother me neither, I'm just glad there's more than one service like this available.
Those e-mail notifications are definitely very handy for personal use, saves me a lot of time.

blockchain.info got you covered:

https://blockchain.info/api/api_websocket


I know they have a websocket service, I'm just saying it would be nice to have more than one. I don't like having to rely on blockchain.info for anything needing a Bitcoin API so I try to use other ones as much as possible. You should consider adding it if you want features for your site.

Would you consider adding support for WebSockets? As a developer, they're super great because of the low latency and they're generally easy to work with.

Team Bitcoin,

We're happy to release BtcHook to the public: https://www.btchook.com BtcHook a system built in-house for our use in a different project, and we thought others could make use of it, too.

Using BtcHook you can subscribe to any Bitcoin address, and receive notifications whenever an incoming payment is sent to that address. Notifications are sent using SMS, email, and webhooks to your specified URLs.

In addition to addresses, you can also subscribe to transactions, and get notified once the transaction has the required number of confirmations.
BtcHook has complete APIs, so you can manage your subscriptions either programmatically or through the dashboard
Much like gmail, BtcHook is in beta. We look forward to getting comments from the community as we continue exposing more and better features.

Ciao,
BtcHook
