Lots of crypto wallets -- especially mobile ones-- notify the user that they have received funds in an address they control.

if you use mobile wallet ,, it looks like you can set the notification in the settings section, .. simple and very easy to set it ,, and you can search in Explorer section by using transaction id or enter your bitcoin address here https://blockchain.info/address

I hope your problem has been resolved or just let us know which wallet you are using. Then someone might give you an exact answer. You can also talk to the customer support of that wallet company as well.

Hello AFL,

You can apply several methods if you want to receive wallet notifications. Many wallet providers might also offer this service, but we will explain a more general method. As always we advise you to read into it, to find out what method suits you best. The method that we are about to describe in steps can be applied to most bitcoin wallets, since you create a watch-only address on blockchain.info. This will enable you to receive notifications regarding the incoming funds of your wallet.

It’s pretty simple, here’s how:

1. Log into blockchain.info here (https://blockchain.info/wallet/new) and create a new wallet
2. Go to the settings tab and choose addresses
3. Select import address  
4. Enter the address you want to get notified about
5. To finalize you should go into account settings and add an email address to send notifications to and/or a mobile phone number (do not forget to add your country code).

More information about how to use watch-only addresses can be found here (https://blog.blockchain.com/2016/05/31/how-to-use-watch-only-addresses). We hope this method will sufficiently answer your question.

If you have any further questions feel free to send us a DM.

With kind regards,
The Anycoin Direct team

Bad advice. Never create an online wallet. They are pointless. Not even wallets if you really think about it.

Bitcoin Core gives you notifications when you receive bitcoins.
I assume Electrum does as well. I would be surprised to see any good wallet not giving you a notification about this.

We do not mean that you should use this wallet for the actual transactions, you should use it to add your watch-only addresses. This way independent of what wallet you are currently using, you can get notifications when receiving funds. We always recommend using the Bitcoin core or Electrum wallet in combination with a Ledger wallet to make sure your funds are secure.

Sorry for the possible confusion on this part.

These kinds of features are generally with the third party wallets which are technically not wallets but exchanges. I have never seen Electrum giving me such notification and nor does my android wallet Mycelium gives up this notification. But yes Bitcoin core does have a notification feature but only if you are willing to download a complete 140GB server files of core which is not advisable merely for getting notifications.

It is quite surprising to me that Electrum doesn't offer notifications.
As for Bitcoin Core, you could just run a pruned node, people seem to be forgetting that.

i do get blockchain notifications via email but not on the app, but there are other blackchain apps that can give notifications

In my own experience I haven't seen or tried a Bitcoin Wallet where they provide app/desktop notifications internally with their system. But I do receive emails regarding the amount I received and from what BTC address I received it from, with my Coinbase account I think it is set in default. And if you really want to notifications then you can adjust it through your gmail or mail app, turning on notifications to emails receive from a specific address is possible and can be done simply within their respective apps.

You can use a mobile wallet for a notifications of coins but I don't know more about is the security associated with the mobile app wallet's.

To be honest. No wallet is ever save and the mention wallet still have there own disadvantage. However, the block chain seems to be a good wallet if the owner or user take good security measure by using a private computer with a good anti malware, enable sms notification and setup the google 2FA security.

Both CopAY on osx and Bitcoin wallet on andriod shows notification once you receive the funds. You can search further in app store and android playstore for more wallets with notifications. But, make sure you read reviews for the security.

I use a Google Sheet for this.

Code:
function getBitcoinBalance(bitcoinAddress) {
  var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch('http://blockchain.info/address/' + bitcoinAddress + '?format=json');
  var json = response.getContentText();
  var data = JSON.parse(json);
  return data.final_balance * Math.pow(10,-8);
}

function getBitcoinCashBalance(bitcoinCashAddress) {
  var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch('https://blockdozer.com/insight-api/addr/' + bitcoinCashAddress + '/balance');
  var json = response.getContentText();
  var data = JSON.parse(json);
  return data * Math.pow(10,-8);
}

function getCoinfloorPrice(cur1, cur2) {
  var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch('https://webapi.coinfloor.co.uk:8090/bist/' + cur1 + '/' + cur2 + '/ticker/');
  var json = response.getContentText();
  var data = JSON.parse(json);
  return Number(data.last);
}

function getCryptowatchPrice(exchange, pair) {
  var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch('https://api.cryptowat.ch/markets/' + exchange + '/' + pair + '/price');
  var json = response.getContentText();
  var data = JSON.parse(json);
  return data.result.price;
}

Code:
=getBTCBalance($A$1,CONCATENATE("https://blockchain.info/q/addressbalance/",C7))/100000000

$A$1 = your address

sorry i'm noob about it!
but do i have to use this code for different coins?
and do i need to run this on private server?


Title: Re: help me please - Notification about receiving coins

You can edit the coin you want to watch here: 

Code:
function getCryptowatchPrice(exchange, pair) {
  var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch('https://api.cryptowat.ch/markets/' + exchange + '/' + pair + '/price');
  var json = response.getContentText();
  var data = JSON.parse(json);
  return data.result.price;
}

When you call getCryptowatchPrice(exchange, pair) you are the function 2 parameters (exchange and pair).

In your Sheet you simply just call the function with the pair you want to check.
E.g. getCryptowatchPrice('binance', 'xmrbtc') to see the XMR/BTC pair on binance.


You can read more about the cryptowat.ch API here: https://cryptowat.ch/docs/api (https://cryptowat.ch/docs/api).
And more about how to create own functions in a google sheet here: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/create-custom-functions-google-sheets/ (https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/create-custom-functions-google-sheets/).

I think he is talking about ERC20 tokens - if that's the case, there's no wallet today that can detect any token.

If your wallet does not notify you when you receive a bitcoin payment you can can use this service: https://www.blockonomics.co/views/wallet-watcher.html?next=%2Fblockonomics#/

You basically create an account and register your bitcoin address that you want to receive as soon as you receive the 1st confirmation of the network, you will receive an email that your address received X amount of coins. Accepts even the new segwit address formats (p2wpkh-bech32). It is a free service and you can register up to 100 addresses, if you want more you will have to pay.

You also have this app Bitcoin Address Watcher (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.papers.bitcoinaddresswatcher&hl=pt_BR) you receive notifications on your phone if you receive coins at the address you reported.
