Title: watch only wallet or get balance of other wallet
Post by: skyrunner on March 28, 2014, 02:41:54 PM
If I need to monitor thousands of wallets, how can I do it?

I want to be able to notify a user immediately of a payment

looks like bitcoin core can tell the balance only of local wallet (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=296904.0). Kinda strange

You can monitor transactions as they come in bitcoind.  Read the mempool or the blocks as they come in.

You can find an example here:

Or you can also get live data by connecting to public Electrum servers.

Hope this helps.
