Title: [SOLVED] Blockchain.Info watch-address notifications (settings take a while) Post by: d4n13 on July 01, 2015, 09:49:06 PM SOLUTION: What a day or so after making the setting. Took a few days for the notification setting to go into effect for me, but it eventually did.
On Blockchain.info web wallet, when I import a watch-only address, everything seems to work well, but when transactions arrive at the watch-only address, they don't notify via SMS or Android alerts.. EDIT: No blockchain staff, so blockchain users... FYI Thx.

I opened the ticket and stuff this morning, I'll change the subj from REQ to ATTN for those seeking this feature, it's not yet jelled, so look elsewhere for now.

Ahh... good information... I'll wait to hear what they say, but good to know that it may be a regression from a previously working state. For my config... I did the following:

It seems to not stay persistently running in the background or not send notifications due to the app updates and/or getting logged out, so you have to reopen and relogin periodically.

I was running a Chrome Browser Tab on Win 8 and the Android App on KitKat. Neither showed a notification, but both silently updated the balance when the transaction came through.

I will make the suggestion to our development team to add Watch Only in the future. Thank you for your input.

Title: Re: [ATTN] Blockchain.Info web wallet watch-address notifications Post by: jbrnt on July 03, 2015, 02:29:22 AM Have you tried using email notifications? It still works. When funds come into my watch-only address, they send a notification to my email address and my phone notifies my of a new email. I use a different notification sound for emails from blockchain.info on my phone, so I immediately know it's bitcoin into my address.

I use a different notification sound for emails from blockchain.info on my phone, so I immediately know it's bitcoin into my address. I did not, my office closes email ports to external servers, so does me no good. I get cell coverage there, but no data unless I'm by the window. So no MMS or Email, only SMS. Might be able to craft an Email to SMS rule though.In any case they said it didn't work, so I stopped all efforts. I would like to prove them wrong. I have a payment coming in Sunday, so I'll let you know if it works.

Got both SMS and email this time. https://blockchain.info/tx/b6a8382043ee7a290063bae6442953c1dfb73f913df436b4fe1b07dea32723fc Maybe it just takes some time for the notification settings to replicate to the SMS server? Who knows... works now.. Horray!
