Bitcoin Forum

I've been wanting to organize my BTC wallets for some time now and I need some help or tips

I have several addresses that I have created over the years, since 2017 and they are cold wallets, they have never had any online access

I would like to know if you use any service to track your wallets?

My idea and preference would be to be able to put all my addresses and know the balance of each one, the total balance and maybe some alert if there is any movement
Maybe it could even be a telegram bot

You can actually use a watch only wallet to actually track them. I don’t know of a telegram bot or service but you can individually track them, if the addresses are even from one seed phrase (HD wallets) then it can be easy to actually import the master public key to track all those addresses. Or simply track each address from that wallet.

One wallet I have used for watch only wallet is BlueWallet and it gives me notification of an incoming transaction or outgoing transaction even before they drop to the respective address.

I will advice against any telegram bot, because even if it requires an address this kind of bot can be easily link this addresses together and even though it is actually not going to get your wallet hacked it reduces your privacy

Since it's a cold storage, you can monitor your funds without connecting them online through the watch only wallet.
All you have to do is import your master public key on electrum and create your watch only wallet. You can as well create transactions on the watch only watch then export it as a file and import on your offline cold storage to sign transactions.  I'll recommend you read through this guide to fully understand how to do this.

Do not use any online services for this. You are trading key features of Bitcoin just for some convenience. You lose any privacy associated with having separate addresses or wallets, and they are likely going to try to fingerprint you and sell your data.

I think this is one of the best solutions for this, as the software can be used intermittently and even kept offline when you are not using it. I have used Electrum for this purpose in the past too, and it has worked wonderfully while preserving your privacy.

rdluffy, two best suggestion I have read is from Zaguru12 and Hatchy. For you to keep track of all those your address without them going online is to import the address to a wallet that allows you watch only, you can view balance and receive notifications. The wallet I have used for "watch only" is Unstoppable wallet, it was someone that recommended it to me too when I asked how I could trace my balance without the address being online. There are many other wallets that allows it but I don't know them apart from the one I mentioned.

Pretty much everything has been said above. but I'd like to add this:

If you also want to track your holdings across different exchanges, or other coins than BTC then you could look into some portfolio trackers like Delta.app, CoinTracking, coinStats, etc.
If you're going to link your exchange account, make sure you're only linking a read-only API key. You wouldn't want to give the app anything else that would allow them to place orders, or withdraw your funds for example.

This is obviously not something I would recommend doing if you value your privacy.

Hey guys, I really appreciate everyone's help  :)
I don't think I expressed myself very well, I know the resources of Electrum, the master public key and the explorers to see each wallet individually

but the idea would be some service/website/app  where I could put all my wallets at once to track them, the balance and notify me of any transaction/movement

BlueWallet as suggested by Zaguru12 should do that just fine, It's been some time since I last did it but you should be able to import the master public key of your wallet, and it will notify you whenever there is an incoming transaction in any of your wallet's addresses. You should also be able to import multiple wallets, and not just one.

The apps I suggested should also do that and more (not all features are free though).

You may want to consider using the telegram bot provided by the forum user, PX-Z (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1000813).

Here is the relevant topic.
[Telegram Bot] Wallet Transaction Notifier - @txnNotifierBot (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5522781.0)

Previously, I also had difficulty in tracking the many addresses of the wallets I had, but after searching further, I finally found Drops Bot, how to use it is also easy and simple, moreover, this service can not only be used for Bitcoin, but can also be used for other addresses such as; Ethereum, BNB Chain, Fantom, Avalanche, Polygon, Arbitrum, and others, and can even track NFT transactions.

For more details, you can see here : Drops Bot (https://etherdrops.gitbook.io/etherdrops-bot)

If you want to see it directly on Telegram : @Drops (https://t.me/drops)

There is one open source self-hosted app called Rotki that could work for you.
I didn't use it for a , but I know it does support tracking of Bitcoin and altcoin addresses.
It does much more than simple tracking of Bitcoin addresses, but basic version is totally free, and you can purchase premium features if you like it.

Thank you for sharing this, I had never come across this and it could come in handy for me. It also uses just addresses so I do not have to give up privacy. The user has also been making regular updates to the bot.

Feel free to give feedback if you encounter any issue or feel free to give whatever suggestions you have, its much appreciated.

I have ever used this site to notify my balance when I have transaction: https://cryptocurrencyalerting.com/crypto-alert-methods.html

Or you can use Explorer by polling the endpoint API or use WebSocket

Also, I found many telegram out there, you can use such as: @btc_transaction_bot and @BTCnotifierBot

To have privacy, you can simply import your Bitcoin addresses to a watch-only wallet for tracking its balance and transaction history.

It's enough and it gives you privacy, so it's a better option than using any on-chain tracking service. There is nothing to be sure that on-chain analytical companies will keep up their promises and don't leak user data. There are many data leaks from many companies no matter how they strongly announced that they aim at user privacy and will protect user data well.

If you don't want to use watch-only wallet, did you try DeBank and ArkhamIntelligence?

I was about to mention his Telegram bot, but I wanted to check all the responses before I directly go to press the reply button. Thanks for already mentioning this. FYI, I had several issues using this bot, such as getting multiple notifications for the same transactions and sometimes wrong amounts, which I regularly posted on another forum thread. I think PX-Z fixed most of them already. The notifier bot has been pretty accurate/stable for the last month, so I assume he fixed those issues.

I don't understand why you don't simply use the original wallet software for tracking purposes. Placing every single address you have ever used in an online service is bad for your privacy.

*And before anybody says that "OP has nothing to hide", OP's transactions are his own business, not yours. Nor some foreign agency's business as long as they are legal.

If I do use it, I will give any feedback I have on the thread.

What I think is the OP sounded knowledgeable enough in their post and replies they have made since. If that is the case they should be aware of the privacy risk it poses and must have a valid reason for seeking out such a service.

You can just insert those addresses to your trustwallet app on the watchlist and whenever there is any transactions within those addresses you would be able to see them there, I think there is also a bot something like that created by a user here on this forum, which if you received payment you could be notified instantly for having received payment to the address but I haven't used it before instead had used trustwallet app to insert the address on watchlist.
Please Note; do not import your wallet to trustwallet instead you can insert your address on only watchlist to oversee your address history.

One of the local member of our community seems created a telegram bot about wallet balance checker as of now its just accepting a BTC address and not yet other coins also you can check other blockchain explorers right there that you prefer. Ive been using this since then to check if there's an upcoming and outgoing transaction which is convenient to me no need to check on blockchain explorers or direct on the wallet.

I guess some people don't know that it's not always about having nothing to hide but protecting oneself from a possible attack if one ignores privacy.

From previous experience, I believe the OP doesn't want to use the original wallet software for tracking because s/he doesn't want to check the wallet from an unsafe location and wants to know every time a transaction comes in/out of the wallet.
 
When this is the purpose, I guess sacrificing a little privacy won't be a big deal.

In addition, the Telegram bot I used years ago for tracking crypto transactions was @etherdrops8_bot.
People who want to track their wallet transaction activities could try it out. Meanwhile, I don't know how seamless the bot service is now, but it was a great tool when I used it then.

Thanks a lot for your help guys  :)
I'm looking at all the services you've indicated and I'm seeing which is the best that fits what I would like
I'll be back with updates

I know it's easy to check in my own wallet, but I've accumulated a lot of addresses with some balance in BTC and it's hard to check 1 by 1 when I want to
It would be much easier to check them all at once just by address

While you're at it, you might also want to check the following tools and services:

• bitmover's Bitcoin Address Balance Checker (https://bitcoindata.science/bitcoin-balance-check)
  ^{- For more information, refer to posts from "here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5445282.msg63201660#msg63201660)".}
• Blockonomics's wallet watcher tool (https://www.blockonomics.co/views/wallet-watcher.html)
  ^{- It sends notifications to your email (some providers might have issues receiving from them) and the last time I tried it, I experienced some glitches on my dashboard.}

_{Note: I prefer not to vouch ^[DYOR]!}

The only private way to create a watch-only Bitcoin wallet for all your addresses is by creating a watch-only wallet in Bitcoin Core, and downloading the full 700 GB blockchain. If you want to prune this, you'll have to import the addresses before syncing.
Any method in which you rely on a server can leak information on which addresses are owned by the same person.

Thanks for mentioning my service.

I have created this tool specifically for this kind of situation.

I used to have several addresses from different wallets and just track the balances using this tool

Works fine and lots of people use it

Is it possible to expand this service and add OPTIONAL notifications if address balance changes?
I would prefer to have private notifications with SimplexChat, but I think other people would also use email, telegram, and other type of notifications.
This should be only optional feature, and maybe you can think about charging small amounts of coins when one user is receiving a lot of  notifications.

The tool already track notifications if any unconfirmed balances changes.
Does the notification bother you?

This is not optional.... However, you can always Deny the notification permission. So in the end it is optional, as the browser requires your approval.

No, you didn't read it correctly, I asked you to expand and add more notifications using telegram, simplex_chat, email, etc.
This feature can be paid or free, but it should be optional, meaning I could continue to track addresses and receive browser notifications free of charge.
I hope you understand what I wanted to say ;)

You've already done an addon for browsers, here's a suggestion.

An addon that will track certain addresses and give a notification in case of any changes. For example, an icon in the browser that will have a counter of received notifications (something like icons on phones), the user will easily be able to see the changes in highlighted addresses by clicking.
In the future, this even opens up the possibility of monetization (if the tool proves to be popular), for example, where it would be free for up to 3 addresses, and for the monitoring of a larger number of addresses, payment of some symbolic amount is required.
