Recently, I found that I spent way too much time just copying addresses, pasting them to blockchain.info, then checking all the time while I wait for confirmations.
That was my inspiration to create AddressWatch. I've been using it for a while now and find it to be quite useful.
Features- Monitors your clipboard for Bitcoin addresses.
- Whenever you copy a bitcoin address, it creates a window on the side of the screen that monitors the address.
- Shows balance, recent transactions and their confirmation-levels
- Can show a QR code for the address
- Allows to maintain a "WatchList" of addresses that you can assign a name and that are saved for the future and monitored in the background
- Gives notifications if the balance of an address on the WatchList changes
The program doesn't interact directly with the blockchain.
It queries blockchain.info, so it depends on the availability of this site.
The source (.NET C#) is included in the .zip, I'd really like it if someone could verify that it doesn't contain any malicious code.
Download & Run:v.1.1 -
QRCode functionality added (right click the address to show), also minor improvementsMake sure you have .NET framework 4.5 installed.
Unzip and start "BTCAddressWatch.exe" in the "bin" folder.
The program is then running in the background, so you will not notice anything happen right away.
Try ctrl+c'ing a bitcoin address and a window should pop up.
You can access the settings and other stuff via the icon in the taskbar.
