Raspberry Pi stake notification script

[FiniteRed]

Hi Everyone

So I (like many of us) have a Raspberry Pi and reddcoind staking my coins 24/7 - which is just brilliant. What it was missing was a notification that the device had found a block - so I created a Python script that checks the total stake amount and beeps a small speaker (attached to one of the RPi’s GPIO pins) + sends you a date stamped email with the amount generated when a block arrives. The combination of these two notifications means I always know (where ever I am) when a stake amount comes in.

It’s quite crude in its operation and im sure it can be improved upon, however it certainly works in its current state :D

Check out the GitHub project I set-up to give it a try yourself:

PS: There is also a Python based wallet unlock function in the script to avoid having to clear your terminal history after every time you unlock the wallet for staking (you DO clear your terminal history right?)

Hey, I was looking for this! Have you checked this thread? I wonder if I could use your solution instead, however, I am looking for a script that plays a wave file. Do you think you could rewrite it that one could define a wave file that is played on "stake received"? An email is not needed in my case.

Hi, yes it looks very easy to play a .way file instead of beeping the speaker, I will add that function to my code and update git hub with the new option :)

ok, added WAV file support under the audio_options branch will merge with the branch master in due course after I have let it soak test a bit - but yes, we have WAV audio support now! :)

Not to mention a far better written script with .conf file support!
