[Telegram Bot] Bitcoin Fees - fees and tx tracker

[joker_josue]

I have already used this bot and it works very well and was very useful. Thanks TryNinja.

By the way, me and my suggestions: 
You could make it possible to indicate our transaction and that way it indicates when it is confirmed. It would be a way of following the evolution of the transaction on the network.

The bot is working great, I used it many times now.

I noticed that when a tx is confirmed, he is spamming the confirmation message.

For example if a tx is confirmed, he send me 4 ou 6 times the message saying "tx is confirmed etc..."

Nothing disturbing, the job is well done, but I am just curious if it is due of my version of Desktop Telegram not updated ?

It is spamming or it was spamming? I supposedly already fixed this days ago.

Sorry for late answer ! I had to wait until the fees decreased a little bit before being able to confirm it.

My bad, I did some tests with 3 transactions and I confirm it is 100% fixed !

Thank you dear!

Is it possible to get continuous updates on the Fastest Fee, like every 10 minutes or maybe every hour through notifications? It might seem a bit spammy, but instead of regularly checking the mempool and sometimes missing the moments when the fee is quite low (even though it hasn't triggered the set alarm yet), I think it could be useful.

I want to buy a small amount of Bitcoin through p2p , but the transaction fees make me hesitate a bit right now. It's not really a rush, but getting it faster is not too bad.

If I find that the fee has dropped to a reasonable rate (even though it's still above the target), I might be able to make the decision if time is really more important than a little money.

The set fee alert feature should be able to solve this for you

Sending notifications every 10 minutes is no different from you setting a stop watch and checking mempool.space every 10 minutes to see if the fee has dropped. In the next few hours or days, you will get fed up and won't bother checking any more once the 10-minute notification comes on.

Its good to have a bot giving such details just like the forum notification bot. A bot that gives information about the fees for a transaction is priceless.

Most times we need these updates to guide our financial transactional decisions. For instance, I have no idea what the fee for a transaction is right now, so, if I am about to make payment to 10 accounts and the fees are high, I get an update from the fees tracker bot, I will likely opt out until its way lesser. Its needed even more now that the network fees are to the roof top.

Sorry (not so sorry) for the necro bumping, but I have been wishing for a tool like this, without knowing there already was one, for more than a year now. So this is a bump for any there user who wants to use this.

Thank you TryNinja for this and your other bots which makes the general experience that much better.

As usual TryNinja great job thank you

This type of bot is what I really needed, whether to know the appropriate fees for the transfer or whether to track the transaction confirmations, every time I opened several pages to find out the fees or transaction confirmations. These notifications will be useful to everyone.

For unconfirmed transactions, is there a possibility to add the approximate time the transaction could take in relation to the fees? I saw on some Bitcoin explorers that they give the number of transactions in the queue before your transaction.

[Putera]

no option for fee that above 20 example?

[examplens]

I'll change the default and add the option to let the user choose between fastest, half-hour, hour, etc...

@TryNinja, In another thread, there is also a discussion about this bot, have you given up on this update, I don't see this possibility yet. Or maybe you just forgot.
The fastest fee is still the most important as information on when the tx will be confirmed.
