Title: SMS bitcoin client integration; Tropo API doable?
Post by: WorldOfBitcoin on November 27, 2012, 07:24:43 PM
I've been fiddling with the tropo API trying to figure out how to receive SMS anytime there is a bitcoin transfer to one of my offline wallets.

I'm wondering if anyone on here worked with SMS and bitcoin before?

Which part are you looking for info on, ... the blockchain side for finding when any transactions come in, or the SMS API side for sending an alert once one is detected?

Incidentally, third party services to do this for you (or help you with parts for doing this):

 - http://www.bitcoinmonitor.net
 - http://bitping.net

http://bitping.net can send HTTP POST, which Tropo can accept and use to launch an outbound SMS notification; pretty much any API or service that can launch a POST will work with Tropo.  This blog should help quite a bit:

If you get stuck anywhere on the Tropo side, just hit us up in IRC or email:
