Topic: [Telegram Bot] Bitcoin Fees - fees and tx tracker (Read 666 times)
no option for fee that above 20 example?
As usual TryNinja great job thank you
This type of bot is what I really needed, whether to know the appropriate fees for the transfer or whether to track the transaction confirmations, every time I opened several pages to find out the fees or transaction confirmations. These notifications will be useful to everyone.
For unconfirmed transactions, is there a possibility to add the approximate time the transaction could take in relation to the fees? I saw on some Bitcoin explorers that they give the number of transactions in the queue before your transaction.

Sorry (not so sorry) for the necro bumping, but I have been wishing for a tool like this, without knowing there already was one, for more than a year now. So this is a bump for any there user who wants to use this.
Thank you TryNinja for this and your other bots which makes the general experience that much better.

Its good to have a bot giving such details just like the forum notification bot. A bot that gives information about the fees for a transaction is priceless.
Most times we need these updates to guide our financial transactional decisions. For instance, I have no idea what the fee for a transaction is right now, so, if I am about to make payment to 10 accounts and the fees are high, I get an update from the fees tracker bot, I will likely opt out until its way lesser. Its needed even more now that the network fees are to the roof top.

Is it possible to get continuous updates on the Fastest Fee, like every 10 minutes or maybe every hour through notifications? It might seem a bit spammy, but instead of regularly checking the mempool and sometimes missing the moments when the fee is quite low (even though it hasn't triggered the set alarm yet), I think it could be useful.
I want to buy a small amount of Bitcoin through p2p , but the transaction fees make me hesitate a bit right now. It's not really a rush, but getting it faster is not too bad.
If I find that the fee has dropped to a reasonable rate (even though it's still above the target), I might be able to make the decision if time is really more important than a little money.
The set fee alert feature should be able to solve this for youI want to buy a small amount of Bitcoin through p2p , but the transaction fees make me hesitate a bit right now. It's not really a rush, but getting it faster is not too bad.

Sending notifications every 10 minutes is no different from you setting a stop watch and checking mempool.space every 10 minutes to see if the fee has dropped. In the next few hours or days, you will get fed up and won't bother checking any more once the 10-minute notification comes on.

For example if a tx is confirmed, he send me 4 ou 6 times the message saying "tx is confirmed etc..."
It is spamming or it was spamming? I supposedly already fixed this days ago. 
Sorry for late answer ! I had to wait until the fees decreased a little bit before being able to confirm it.
My bad, I did some tests with 3 transactions and I confirm it is 100% fixed !
Thank you dear!

The bot is working great, I used it many times now.
I noticed that when a tx is confirmed, he is spamming the confirmation message.

Nothing disturbing, the job is well done, but I am just curious if it is due of my version of Desktop Telegram not updated ?

I have already used this bot and it works very well and was very useful. Thanks TryNinja.
By the way, me and my suggestions:
You could make it possible to indicate our transaction and that way it indicates when it is confirmed. It would be a way of following the evolution of the transaction on the network.

Yep, the bot works just fine.
@TryNinja, I think you should really pick your pace and start creating miraculous bot which will be able to do more than this.
I think you know very what you are doing, it's just that you are limiting yourself.
I already forwarded the bot link to few friends as I know they will love to see a bot notifying them fees, transaction alerts etc. over notification such as telegram. This saves time by not going online and checking the blockhyper all the time.
Amazing. Good luck for the future developments. Hope you share more updates soon.
Would you mind adding a warning like "Your fee rate is very low that causes this transaction will probably be dropped off from mempools within next 14 days". It can be helpful for people don't know about risk of transaction dropped from mempools if it is broadcasted with very low fee rate.
Noted, I'll see if it's viable.btw, is the code closed source? 
It's open source: https://github.com/ninjastic/BitcoinFeesAlert-botBtw, the bot is now using the "hour" fees by default. Other options will come as soon as I stop being lazy.

I am back with my proposal.

A reminder like "Always use Replace-by-Fee (RBF) for your transaction."

There is one other bot in Telegram doing kind of the same. I am curious what would be the difference. I'll use the 2 and will try to check about the differences! It's @cheeserobot.
Do you think you will include balance modification alert for X address in the future ?
Could be great to have an alert for incoming tx on a said address
Will do that, thanks for the suggestion! Sorry for the delay. Could be great to have an alert for incoming tx on a said address
Do you still have control of 1NinjabXd5znM5zgTcmxDVzH4w3nbaY16L ?
I do.is there a possibility that the default result on /fee alert is not an "Economy" fee?
Such notification is often not usable because the economy fee is not enough to complete the transaction, especially lately when the network is overloaded.
Yep, got an alert for <= 2 sat/vbyte, took a look at the fees and the minimum for next block was around 40 sat/vbyte. Such notification is often not usable because the economy fee is not enough to complete the transaction, especially lately when the network is overloaded.
I'll change the default and add the option to let the user choose between fastest, half-hour, hour, etc...
Less or equal, yes. When "economy" fees <= 1.

Such notification is often not usable because the economy fee is not enough to complete the transaction, especially lately when the network is overloaded.
For example, I set the alert to 10 sats/vbyte, and very quickly I received a notification that the fee was below that, but it is very far from reality. So if I'm waiting for a certain fee to make a transaction, information about the "hourly fee" status is more useful to me.
@TryNinja
Thank you so much for having made this bot !
I was looking for exactly what you made, thank you! https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.61895401

I tried it, and the bot begins (Mulai) with my local language, is there auto-language detection?
Probably related to Telegram itself? I've coded the bot entirely in english.I tried also with /alert 1, I don't know when happen?, because until today it has never been below 1 satoshi, right?, or the same as and below than like this symbol (≤)?
Less or equal, yes. When "economy" fees <= 1.About tx notification, when we received a notification?, is it after 1 confirmed or more than 1?
1 confirmation. 
~~~
About tx notification, when we received a notification?, is it after 1 confirmed or more than 1?
About tx notification, when we received a notification?, is it after 1 confirmed or more than 1?
You get notified as soon as your transaction has 1 confirmation.
I tried the bot with a tx from blockchair.com that has one confirmation already and I got "transaction already confirmed".
