It looks like @sn is a bot that takes the highest zap rank post every hour and reposts it on X and on Nostr with the: Title Sats zapped so far Comments so far
But I wanna make it so EVERY ~HealthAndFitness post is reposted and stackers can put their X handle at the bottom of their post so our HnF bot can tag their X handle when it posts!
@ek wrote an @hn bot to scrape the top posts from Hacker News and post them on SN! He made the code open source, so feel free to use that code as a starting point, but I want it to be like @sn bot and repost every post ~HealthAndFitness post to Nostr too. And I want stackers to put their Nostr pub key at the bottom so they get a “mention” when the post hits Nostr. https://git.ekzy.is/ekzyis/hnbot
Anyways maybe @ek open-sourced the @sn bot code, but I know he did the @hn code. so I’d love someone to write a bot using his code, or the @sn code, or ChatGPT, or any vibe code to just post EVERY ~HealthAndFitness post to X and Nostr and tag the user in both X and Nostr and have all sats it receives go to a separate NWC wallet I setup for the HnF bot. However ek does it I’m hoping it’s free to run this bot in perpetuity. Code you write should be FOSS on GitHub in the spirit of SN!🤠 (Yes @ek is allowed to accept this bounty)
Of course, posting to X and Nostr is free, so shouldn’t cost us anything once it’s setup. It’s not actually posting to SN.
IT SHOULD BE A DRAW FOR STACKERS TO POST TO ~HealthAndFitness PUT YOUR NOSTR PUBKEY IN YOUR POST SO IT GETS SCRAPED AND U GET MORE SATS!! Clearly our territory gives the biggest payout!
@grayruby @Undisciplined @Aardvark @realBitcoinDog are splitting the cost of this bounty. I hope it’s fun!!
21,000 sats bounty
realBitcoinDog's bounties
@realBitcoinDog if I get a week's time, I can do it ig provided the bounty is not lowered

The race is on! Go for it

I need the X handle to which it will be posted and the nostr npub or NWC pubkey please do type in under this comment if possible
reply
Ok I’ll start working on it!!
reply
uh a plan change, you'll need a dev account for the X, so you don't need to create that. I'll do it. You just create a nostr acc like on primal or damus or anywhere, name it (something like HnF bot) Go here follow this paste the nsec1.... here
reply
I made a new Nostr on Damus
If you’re on Nostr too then I can DM you the nsec
If the bot thing doesn’t work out I am planning to have @supercyclone do some similar things for me for Sports when his school year is over as kind of a mini summer job where he can earn some sats. Maybe he can do a few daily posts for H+F as well.
reply
Hey that’s cool if he gets paid sats to code! Does he like SN or is it like having Dad on Facebook but worse?
reply
He only goes on SN to make his picks but I want him to do some stuff with the territory in the summer. Not necessarily coding but to help out.

Just saw the bounty is 21k sats.
Sorry, but I think this is not reasonable for what you’re asking.
Just the code would probably be 50k if not way more and then it might be shitty code that breaks all the time.
And then, if you want them to also run it for you, that will probably also cost you around 10k sats per month.
I pulled these numbers mostly out of my ass, but from what I’m hearing, I thought you’d appreciate a reality check.
But maybe I’m not considering junior devs that would just do it for fun 🤔
reply
I agree, 21k is too low IMO
reply
Maybe I’m biased because k00b pays well for contributions
reply
Really you’re saying we need to trick @k00b into thinking this is a feature request that all territory owners as part of their 50k sats/mo rent get their very own bot that they control to repost content in their territory as they see fit onto Nostr and X!
And then @k00b can set a super high bounty for this to further incentivize territory owners to found a territory cuz they each get to have their own bot, and then u can code it up @WeAreAllSatoshi and get your fat payout!!
reply
Maybe the better course of action is making this a feature for all of the territories, then.
~HealthAndFitness doesn’t have the resources of the mighty k00b.
reply
If I had time I’d do it for free, it sounds like a fun experiment
reply
Yup that’s the rub! Those with the skill don’t have the time!
So need someone w/ time who’s eager, or a high enough bounty haha!
Do u own any territories @WeAreAllSatoshi?
No this is useful thank you! My fellow ~HealthAndFitness may be interested in raising the bounty if needed!
Sounds like that @sn code is a better starting point than the @hn repo?
And do u think a bot like this is even a good idea?

Yeah, that code actually posts from SN to other platforms. @hn posts from HN to SN which is not what you want.
And do u think a bot like this is even a good idea?
I think it's a good idea to try out

The code for @sn is in our repository here.
I already have more than enough code to write and maintain.
reply
Too easy mate thank you!
reply
I’ve also written a SN bot that posts my daily mining earnings. I shared a link to its source code at some point, but I don’t have it handy at the moment.
reply
Can u find it plz? I’ll zap!
The bot will need to run somewhere. That shouldn’t be considered free. Just my 2 sats
reply
Good point

Maintenance also costs time and therefore usually money.

Well so I know Netlify will run a GitHub repo code for free.
I’m not opposed to paying for a VPS but I’d like to know of free options first!
reply
I haven’t used Netlify, but it’s important to note there’s a difference between hosting a (static) website from a GH repo, and running a backend service that is polling external resources over and over (because I assume there is no webhook support from SN)
reply
How DARE you assume there is no web hook support from SN! Surely @ek can confirm that there is in fact web hook support!!
But yes you’re right I realize now I had Netlify help me host a static webpage
reply
Almost time to pay rent. Let me know how much rent is owed plus the bounty shared expense and I will send you the sats.
