• In order to run the tip-bot effectively, a Bitcoin-core based client is needed. For this idealcashd is used

Setup

• Install the deps
• Install idealcashd to /usr/bin/idealcashd

NOTE if not using idealcashd compiled from the experimental branch of the github, you will have to provide the idealcash.conf file and place it manually in the ~/.idealcash/ directory.

• edit the idealcash.conf file located at ~/.idealcash/idealcash.conf to contain the following:

• staking=0

• enableaccounts=1

Staking cannot be enabled while running for the tipbot.

• Run idealcashd and let it start syncing

• 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.

• Please fork the code, happy tipping!
