In this video, I walk through how I used ChatGPT and
Node.js to build a simple tool that monitors transactions for the Silk Road Bitcoin address.
Watch as I explain how ChatGPT helped me generate the foundational script, and see how easy it is to adapt open-source APIs (like
mempool.space) for your own custom Bitcoin tracking. This project polls the mempool at regular intervals, checks if any new transactions have landed in the specified address, and plays an alert sound whenever activity is detected. If you’re curious about cryptocurrencies, the history of Silk Road, or how AI-assisted development can streamline coding tasks, this video is for you!
What You’ll Learn:
How ChatGPT can speed up script generation
A practical example of
Node.js and axios for API calls
How to integrate sound notifications with play-sound
