I want bells and whistles

[ronaldmaustin]

I literally want a bell or whistle to go off when I found a block.  Or I want the Bitcoin program to play an mp3 of "I'm in the money".  Or maybe just a loud siren accompanied by the screen flashing.  Or maybe the computer can catch fire.

I want mine to first play a cash register noise at 100% volume, followed by a deep, low voice saying "Show Me the Money!", followed THEN by various pictures of playboy models. Fireworks shooting out from behind my monitor are optional.

Just make a bash script that checks your balance and whistles if it has increased.

Code:

#!/bin/bash

oldbalance=0
if ! balance=$(bitcoind getbalance)
then 
    echo coudn't retreive the balance 2>&1
    exit 1
elif (($balance > $oldbalance))
then
   mpg123 someCoolSoundFile.mp3
   oldbalance=$balance
fi

And then in the bash command line (or in you .profile or whereever):

$ while thenameofthescriptabove; do sleep 60; done &
