Hey over there, I just joined this forum!

I am a software developer and recently tried an own project: A service is continuesly listening to the blockchain websocket api (live stream of all unconfirmed transactions) and send out notification mails (or push notifications via smartphone app) to those who enabled it for a certain bitcoin address. A notification mail is sent out when bitcoins are sent to the specific address.

There are already services that exactly doing this (free and paid services) so I would like to either offer it as a free service and/or publish its source code. The basic version with email notifications is already done.
Just one issue came in my mind which makes it not very user-friendly: You have to update the bitcoin address every time after it changes (if the client works like this). Maybe anyone has a idea how to solve this, but I actually doubt there will be any solution though...
