Hey everyone,<p>I made this little tool a few days ago to help me keep track of the bitcoin&#x2F;USD price since it has been so volatile. I was going to wait a few more days and polish up the site before making a HN post, but given how bitcoin is tanking hard right now I think it&#x27;s an appropriate time to release.<p>Currently it supports alerts based on fixed $ movements and % change of price over time. Let me know what you guys think and if there are any features that I should add!

Cool idea (I was almost going to make something similar myself!) but there&#x27;s a couple of catches for me:<p>* Your tracked prices are only in USD, whereas I buy&#x2F;sell in AUD via CoinJar.com.<p>* Apparently you&#x27;re only supporting SMS within US&#x2F;Canada as well? Might be good to make that clear before the signup.<p>* You have a competitor called BitcoinReminder.com who track several different currencies, a few more exchanges, and even offer alerts via Jabber &#x2F; IM (as well as Email &amp; SMS). Their site isn&#x27;t as cleanly designed as yours though, and it&#x27;s a paid service (whereas it seems yours is free for the moment). They&#x27;ve just signed up their 2000th user after 2.5 years, which might give an idea of market size.<p>But it&#x27;s a neat idea &amp; a good name for it too!

Any reason the number of alerts are capped at 3, as opposed to say 5 or 10? Are paid accounts with unlimited alerts in the works?

I think it is very nice - I&#x27;m a fan of this.
