I'm in a serious need for a notification app for blockchain fees.

That would be amazing

An app for this simple enough to make, I wonder why nobody ever did it.

There’s the block screen app (iOS) that shows the fees in widgets. Only thing missing is the notifications

Really surprises me that there’s no btc wallet with this integration yet?

It’s been apart of some eth wallets for a while now.

I have a different app that's doing that on Android but it also lacks 🙄 notifications

I guess another way to do it would be notifications on nostr for specific accounts. Twitter had a similar feature. Then turn them on for an account like this one nostr:npub1cyh2mhmvjgplma5de0muydkt0uk6hlynpn7gas4r6xc6zu9utufsststls

Since I have an obsessive compulsive relationship with nostr, this will do just fine!

Thanks 🫶🙏💐👋🌀🥳👍👍👍

You have notifications for specific accounts on Android ? Amethyst ? 👀

Or you just check it often ?

Just check often.

I'm trying to find a way to stick my mobile to the palm of my hand (for convenience) because I'm on nostr all day long.

I have developed an addiction too 🤣🤣

You have to be careful, you don't want withdrawal symptoms in the middle of the night when you're sleeping or, you know,...

Luckily its not that bad 🤣

Let me turn on notifications for accounts on here!

Come on nostr devs this should be high priority!!

There could already be a bounty for that feature. No idea. If not, might be a good idea to create one if you want this to be a top priority

You can see some bounties here. Not sure if it’s all of them

I could modify nostr:npub1j9k220uxarsuc7fj9kp2cs9yahetqy4q6m9cdatn5srkwk6mr6tqcy7e8k to DM you when fees are under a certain threshold. 👀

Thank you 💜

However, I doubt it will work comfortably in my case as I constantly need to change the fee threshold.

No problem. We can start off with a default threshold and then add a way for you to modify it (most likely via DM).

e.g. “Let me know when fees are below 7”

If you think that would work, and it's no trouble for you, then sure! Thanks!

No problem! So to start, what would you want your default threshold to be?

Let’s say it 7 says/vByte.

1. Would you want another DM if it goes down further?

2. If it stays at 7 for a few hours or goes up again, would you want another DM then?

Just trying to get an idea of the frequency.

A certain number, if the fee comes down and reaches it (regardless of whether it continues to decrease or not) it notifies me. That's it!

I think it should stop notifying me after this. This way I can set it again (using a different number or the same number). So only one notification per request.

What do you think?

I like that! Keeps it simple. 🤙

I just received a notification from the bot at 7sats/vB 👍👍👍

Awesome! I’ll be working on the part where you can DM it to initiate another request. I’m leaning towards making it a simple command instead of the sentence I mentioned earlier. Something like “fees 7”.

If you DM it again with the same command and the previous one hasn’t been fulfilled yet, it’ll update it.

Let me know what you think. 😎

I think that's perfect (for me at least).

I think it’s ready for testing when you are. 😎

Great! I'm ready.

What to write in DM?

Just “Fees” followed by the value you want to be notified, like in the screenshot. 😎

Fees are currently at 2 sats v/B 😂

Have to wait.

True! 😂

So I just sent the bot a "fees 10" DM. No response.

Normal?

I forgot to add you to the list of npubs I’m listening to! It should be working now. 😄

"Fees are currently at 7 sats/vByte [You requested a notification for 10 sats/vByte]"

Seems like it's working.

Nice. There’s an issue with updating a request at the moment so hold off on creating one that’s too low (although 1-2 sats/vByte def is possible as we’ve seen the past day or so). Either way, will work on a fix later today. 😎

Great thank you 💜

You’re welcome. Glad I could help. 🤙

It seems like I got the update functionality working. It was a little tricky with the duplicate events from various relays.

In the screenshot, I bumped up the “low” fee threshold twice just so I could actually get the notification to close out the request.

Give it a shot when you get a chance. 🤙

Have a look at this please. Is there a problem or am I using it wrong?

Ok it just replied (55 mins after my request).

I was just debugging it! Thanks for testing. 🙏

There still seems to be issues around updating existing requests, but submitting once and waiting seems ok. Either way, will take a look at it some more today. 🤙

Cool thanks.

Here's the latest update (also check out the timestamps):

Nice! I just got a DM too. Had it set it at 11.

And thanks for the badge 💜

You’re welcome 🤙

Could you do me a favor and zap nostr:npub1j9k220uxarsuc7fj9kp2cs9yahetqy4q6m9cdatn5srkwk6mr6tqcy7e8k? I just connected it to nostr:npub1kmwdmhuxvafg05dyap3qmy42jpwztrv9p0uvey3a8803ahlwtmnsnhxqk9 so supporters can be displayed. 🫂

Sure

Got it, thanks! Hopefully they’ll get the display name from the npub in a future update. 🙏

How much is the goal?

No goal at the moment. Just wanted a place for supporters to be recognized. Yesterday I discovered that zaps to a geyser.fund address automatically show up under contributors. 😎

Zapped and followed. Followed you too 😎

Thank you. 😎🤝

We seriously appreciate all the effort you and people like you who contribute so much.

Thank you 💜💜💜

Appreciate that! 💜🤝

Alright I think I got it this time. Let me know if you run into any issues. 🤙

There's no need for me to say it because it's obvious, but you're doing an excellent job! Thank you.

Will give it a try.

Sounds good, thanks!

Crazy that I'm the first to zap such a high engagement post. Or is my client not showing me zaps for some reason?

I'd rather have that app than being zapped for the note in question 😁

I know many here on nostr who got introduced to bitcoin because of zapping. And we all know that people who only zap bitcoin shouldn't really care about blockchain fees.

Check out the app called Mempal: https://github.com/aeonBTC/Mempal/
