ah ok NP.

their are soooooooooo many mobile "providers" however I believe they all just re-use optus, telstra, vodafone and 3.. and just have the name changed to their own service, e.g "aldi" - as part of the virtual mobile service provider service that the 4 carieers i mentioned provide.

sounds like you know whats what, so good luck. nifty little idea, let me know if you need some Aus guinea pigs.

interesting idea..
i assume by SMS you mean.. txt message (or sms as we call it in australia :p)

If your not in Aus, and looking to service Aus people I have an SMS gateway you could perhaps use to SMS Aus folks

Yes, I mean mobile text messages, thank you for pointing that out. It is called SMS here in Europe too.

I already use SMS gateway that can send messages to almost every country, australia's six providers included (Globalstar Australia Pty Ltd, Telstra, Optus Mobile, Lycamobile, Hutchison 3G Australia Pty Ltd, Vodafone), I don't know if there are any more of them in Aus (can you confirm?).

You know there are loads of Android apps for alerting on exchange prices, right? SMS could be an option for those without smart phones, but as a smart phone owner I prefer the app.

Sure, I use one of those too. But I have alerts set on 5% or 10% drop, so it doesn't disturb me too often (5% is usual even if there aren't any bad news). But when the price is 5% or 10% already down and I just start to wonder what's happening, it is usually already too late.

There has been a lot of bad news in past few months. Some of them almost halved the BTC price. When I caught it in the right time, I could make quite a profit by selling my BTC immediately and hour or two later bought them cheap (resulting in more BTC, compare to holding them).

So I started thinking, how can I catch all the news in the right time? I realized that I can't do it alone. I can't watch news when I sleep or while I'm at work. So I created a simple SMS service, where other people like me can join into small groups of 30. People, who are willing to alert the rest of the group, if someone notices something important. In that way, everyone has the probability of catching the news 30 times higher.

If you want to join group, you can do it so at www.btc-report.org. This concept is not very healthy for the market, it can make price drops even bigger, so I will limit number of groups that can be made this way.

I also would like to get suggestions, if there are some features missing on the web. I will be improving the service continually. At this time, this is just a proof of concept.

EDIT: I just added an affiliate program. You get 30%, it is really simple, check it out: http://www.btc-report.org/affiliates
