You must be some kind of a paranoid to check your balance every hour minutes, let alone 10 minutes. I usually check my wallet around 5 minutes after I do a transaction. I give that much time for the funds to transfer to my wallet and I just give in a little more time if the funds aren't still confirmed. I don't panic like that one user who, just after 11 minutes of after transaction, panicked because he didn't receive his funds.

That entire depends on my payment schedule. As and when I expect to receive a payment from any source like cloud mining, trading account or siganture campaign, I check my account whether the amount has been credited to my account or not.

this way I keep track of my money and make sure that all the expected payments are received within due time. Also sometime when I notice a huge change in price, I check to see my net worth.

I always check my bitcoin balance everyday because i'm so excited to check if it's value increase or decreases, I think that came from the HYPE of incoming bitcoin halving so i always very excited to check once a day Cheesy.

How Often Do You Check Your Bitcoin Wallet Balance?

Very often, I only check my Bitcoin balance if i am expecting Bitcoin from someone, or If i send Bitcoin to it, I am not using my Bitcoin wallet to send Bitcoin to someone.

Normally I check my wallet once a day not to check the balance but to check the exchange price. I usually check my balance when I have a new transaction in or out

I don't check often. I do enter Wallet when I have to send coin to someone.

When receiving coin from someone I don't enter my wallet just checking in block explorer whether it is confirmed or not. Also I can check my balance there often. My wallet has 2FA authentication I believe my coins are safe.

I didn't check my balance too often because i'm so busy on doing signature campaigns and also doing some trading. I check my wallet balance when i send like 0.01 above because im curious on how much it will increase to my balance (in USD).

Yeah that is the same as me. I just post and trade for most of the day and I am not bothered to check my balance. But I always leave a coinbase tab open so I can see the price rising.

Which wallet do you use? Don't you have to open your wallet everytime you do a transaction?
These days I check the BTC exchange rate at 2 places - Online websites as well as my wallet plugin.  Grin

I oftenly check my wallet every hour but i am not actually just checking the balance but the current bitcoin price , i just want to know if there would be a remainder so i could use it to load up my prepaid account on my phone and also i am checking if there would be an incoming or successful transaction .

Lately, about once an hour on Mycelium, but that's mostly to check the price.  I'm an obsessive checker, and I do the same thing with rhe stocks I own.  The only difference is that the bitcoin market is 24 hours/day.

How Often Do You Check Your Bitcoin Wallet Balance?

I've got Sentinel installed on my android phone. I loaded all my xpubs (eletrum,ledger HW.1, old adresses, vanity adresses,...) and i open this application at least a dozen times each day.

What if your phone had been stolen? Do you have some precautionary measures prepared?
I'm curious because I also have wallet apps installed to my phone and even Google Authenticator too which is very crucial.

Well, it depends on the circumstances. Sometimes I have a really urgent need for bitcoin from a withdrawal, then I would check my bitcoin balance every 30 seconds or so. Or I could be checking on the status of the transaction, whether it is confirmed.

But otherwise I'd say around once an hour.

I often check my bitcoin whenever there is a transaction made. When I need to withdraw from my wallet to exchange or deposit from exchange to my wallet.  If there is, maybe every 10 to check the confirmation is done.

I vote others because I'm also not that person who keeps an eye to my wallet balance. I'm logging in to my wallet mostly when I need to send bitcoins, other than that not too often. Whenever I received funds, I received an email confirmation, so no need for me to check it. Cheesy

Yeah most people do that if you have an online wallet. Does blockchain send you emails when you receive funds? I use coinbase and they send you an email every time you get paid.
