Universal Wallets Monitor (beta)
for Linux/MAC CLI wallets users
http://p2pool.neocities.org/wallet_monitor1.png

* REPORTS P2POOL PAYOUTS IMMEDIATELY! ;D

* Uses a database to ID command-line wallets by TRADE-SYMBOL

* Written in BASH script -- Runs on Linux & MAC ( Windows NOT supported )

* Runs in terminal window(s)

* can monitor multiple wallets, from just 1 script !

* each wallet being monitored runs in its own window

* sound effects!  Makes 1 sound when NEW p2pool payouts are detected
                       as immature transactions

                       Makes another sound when generated blocks mature &
                       show up in wallet balance

* Shows "immature" transactions & totals -- also reports "orphans"

* auto-updates

* also good for solo-miners ( because p2pool payouts are just like solo-mined GENERATED blocks )

* script auto-starts the command-line wallet when monitoring a specified wallet

* database can be easily edited by users to add support for more coins

* Shows P2POOL payouts IMMEDIATELY as "pending transactions" + the # of confirmations
  of the "immature" generated block(s).


* It is for LOCALHOST only, so the wallets must be on the same PC using this script
  ( it does not use remote JSON-RPC --- however, I could add the ability to do so )

* easy to use:  from a terminal command-line, just type:   wallet btc
                     and it will launch a new terminal window monitoring that coin!
                    ( replace 'btc' with trade symbol of other coins to monitor others )

The code has NOT yet gone public, but plan on putting it on github soon.
I have written the code completely from scratch, and spent weeks
creating it, testing it, and personally using it for several months now.

This is an EXCELLENT UI to see your P2POOL payouts ( and solo-mined blocks )
immediately before they show up in wallet balance later after maturing.....

I am curious as to how many others may benefit or like to have this awesome
bash script Universal Wallets UI...   It makes checking for payouts very easy
since it monitors transactions & shows new p2pool payouts RIGHT AWAY as pending!

I will be asking for donations / contributions for those who use this awesome script,
once it has been released to the public.....

Is this something of interest that you could use?

You do realize that if you release the code as GPL anyone can fork and modify the code.  That is what GPL is all about.  If you release the code as GPL, you cannot put restrictions like "personal use only, or commercial use prohibited, or you cannot fork or modify or sell this".  The GPL license grants everyone the ability to DO EXACTLY THOSE THINGS.

You are welcome.  Here's a good starting point to finding the open source license that would work for you. http://opensource.org/licenses  http://wiki.civiccommons.org/Choosing_a_License

did you ever release this?
