Reddbot - Telegram Photon Tipbot.

Photon crypto currency tipbot for Telegram

Dependencies

• apt-get install python3

• apt-get install python3-pip

• pip3 install beautifulsoup4

• pip3 install python-telegram-bot --upgrade

• pip3 install python-bitcoinrpc

• In order to run the tip-bot effectively, a Bitcoin-core based client is needed. For this git Photon-core is used , but any major alternate crypto-currency client could easily be incorperated.

Setup

• Download the git git clone https://github.com/samgos/photon-telegram

• Setup a bot with the user @BotFather through PM on Telegram, after going through a setup you will be given a bot token. Edit the command.py file and replace the parameter 'BOT_TOKEN' with the one you just recieved.

• Run the script python3 command.py

• Initiate the bot by inviting it to a chat or via PM, some commands are /balance , /price , /help and to find out the format related to tip others and withdrawal of funds use /commands.

Setting up the bot as so still leaves the wallet unencrypted, so please go to extra measures to provide extra security. Make sure to have SSH encryption on whatever device/droplet you run it on.
