Transaction notifications based on xpub?
260 sats \ 4 comments \ @swmtr 27 Feb 2023 bitcoin

Is there a tool/service which allows for notifications based on xpub? I've seen a few tools which can do this for a wallet address, but having a hard time finding something for xpub. Thanks for your insights.

A "watch only" wallet seems to be what you are talking about.

Ahh right. That is the correct terminlogy. I see Blue Wallet supports this. I guess, the question is, will it notify me :)

Yes if you configure the app to show notifications.
As watch-only mobile apps, you have also Sentinel, Electrum, Nunchuck.
For desktop you have Sparrow, Specter, Electrum, Bluewallet (only macOS), Nunchuck.

Thanks. Sentinel looks very promising - read the QR code to xpub fine and showing transactions.

Couldn't get these 2 to work:

  • Electrum (scans my QR code, but then it won't let me continue - Next button greyed out - perhaps not working with xpub?)
  • Nunchuck (QR reader not even recognizing my qr code)
