3 sats \ 2 replies \ @calle OP 19 Aug 2021 \ on: Open source @LightningTipBot ⚡️ for Telegram (GitHub link in comments). Made with love for tipping memes in large groups. It's not much but it's honest work! bitcoin
You can find the source code for this bot here. You can run it on your own node. It uses LNBits as an accounting system which is an amazing platform for building lightning-enabled apps. Check it out if you're a dev.
We're a team of two devs. The bot charges zero fees, our hope is that donations will cover operational costs of the node. The end game is to onboard thousands of nocoiners onto Lightning and give them wallets without having to install anything but Telegram.
Feedback is very welcome! Cheers!
Hello.
I just tried it, here some comments:
Chatting 1 to 1 with the bot and initial funding worked fine.
I then added the bot to a test group and the experience was not great: most of the interactions were in the private user/bot chat channel and not much was visible to group users.
Example:
/help would not show the help in the group so that group users get an idea of what was going on.
/send did not show in the group that anything was being done, or even that the recipient got SATs at all
/tip worked well however after some time figuring out how to use it.
Anyway, those look like small issues and the not looks very promising !
Thanks and take care
