<p>If the address doesn't have to be specific then you have a few options:</p>

<ul>
<li><p>Use ZeroMQ for catching every single transaction that enters the mempool and check if it's relevant to your addresses.</p></li>
<li><p>Use walletnotify as a startup flag/config option to specify a command to execute with an option to pass the txid to the command. This will only catch the relevant transactions (so whenever one of your addresses is used as an input or output). However, it creates a new process every time that command gets executed, which, as far as I know, has a negative effect on the resources of your machine. </p></li>
<li><p>Read the txids from the stdout. This is the method I've been using. Things like new blocks and new transaction registration get logged in the stdout of the bitcoin core process. If you find a way to pipe that stdout somewhere and then extract txids or new block hashes there - you would, in essence, have the same relevant only notifications, but without spawning new processes. </p></li>

Thanks a lot. Do you know any step-by-step guide to setup ZeroMQ for catching every single transaction enters the mempool?

What about NodeJS or Python?

<p>Bitcoin Core's RPC mechanism is not a push interface and does not support notifications. Each RPC returns one JSON object, so to implement notification functionality using this, your application will frequently need to poll the bitcoin daemon for new information.</p>
