bitcoin-qt email notification when payment sent or received possible?

[Maidak]

I was wondering if theres a way to set this up using bitcoin-qt ? I know other wallets have this support.

Hmmmm step one would be to have it running in server mode (-server) with a password set up in your bitcoin.conf

Step two would be to have a cron running that periodically checked a list of addresses for changes in their balance.

And step three, get it to email you if it detects a change.


I don't think you can do all this just with bitcoin-qt. You need to have a few other tools on your computer talking to bitcoin-qt and doing the checking/emailing.

And there are third-party services which provide this:

I do this with my blockchain.info account.  Just add your local wallet address to the blockchain account as "Watch Only" and enable email or SMS notification.
