Topic: [TELEGRAM] Yet Another BitcoinTalk Notification BOT (merits, mentions, topics,+) - page 15. (Read 17534 times)

Thank you, it really helps!

It should be done this week! I assume normal mentions (i.e @SirJohnVonSlotty) and merits aren't the focus on your group? I was thinking about disabling them and allowing group admins to add tracked topics and phrases, what do you think? Feel free to suggest other stuff you need.

Hey, try running /reset and see if it helps. It should clear all conversations the bot thinks you're having (like adding a tracked topic, the first setup, etc...).

On this bot? I have this one.

Hi, @TryNinja! I hope you can help me with my problem - when I choose a "/menu" nothing happens. I still receive notifocation but because this issue I cant to edit something...

@TryNinja can you add an alert to the bot when average transaction fees drop below a specific threshold (e.g. 10, 5 sats)? It would really help with timing REAL transactions to get them through.

That's a cool project Loyce, but unfortunately I would need it on Telegram :<

Hoping to see the group thing work in the near future  

It's not a Telegram thing, but LoyceV's notification bot (7 days retroactive) produces a public list of notifications mentions (so anyone from your group can access it). You can add keywords as alias.

Thank you! It's still a great tool that solved a huge headache, I've rounded up $100 from the team and sent it over to your BTC address as a thanks

If you do manage to get the group thing rolling in do let me know!

Try now.

Keep in mind that the bot wasn't created with group chats in mind, so I have no idea if it would work properly (or even work at all). Feel free to report any issue, though.

edit: After some testing, it probably won't work. I'll see if I can add support to it.

Thank you.

Hey Thanks for this, such a great feature!

I have a question, I'm trying to create a group telegram chat for me and my team and use the bot to report all activity for coinslotty related keywords, but I'm having an issue adding @BTTSuperNotifier_bot to a group chat.

If I go and create a group directly from the bot chat, it just removes the bot soon after the group is created.

 
If I go ahead and create a fresh group, it doesn't display the bot at all.


What am I doing wrong here?

Every notification should have its own icon (easier to distinguise them in the sea of notifications), but some are being sent without it for some reason... I need to do some debugging.

I also noticed the new update with the icons, I like them; the are a small detail that enhances the bot.
The only thing I did not like about it is that I had to reset the bot and I am almost certain and I missed out some mentions because of it, but nothing serious.

Thanks for keeping this tool up, OP. Very helpful.

Yesterday I noticed a yellow star in front of the notification about the received merit, but that icon appeared only in one notification, so I assume that it appears once every 24 hours, considering that it is the only notification I have turned on.

Is it only my or I feel our Telegram notifier is getting more updates then bitcointalk? Well done TryNinja

New icons with notifications



@TryNinja if you don't mind please add USDT donation link in the OP, I love this bot and I want to appreciate

Is this still difficult to achieve even with ninjastic's API?

If it's possible, then I was thinking about if you could add mentions whenever a user's topic/post gets mentioned. So if I post this link:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/telegram-yet-another-bitcointalk-notification-bot-merits-mentions-topics-5248878

You would get a notification.

So fast!
Now its working again, thank a lot!

Try now.

I will make it not accept links.

Hi, TryNinja!
Thank you for developing for the forum. I have a problem with the bot, maybe you can tell me what to do: I wanted to add a User for tracking, but instead I inserted a link to the profile. The bot accepted it, but now I can't open the list of tracked users in any way. The clock icon appears and nothing happens.

Yes. Anyone can use any username/uid, even if it's already in use.

Sounds like a lot of trouble for no added benefit. Anyone can create their own scraper/bot, fork the supernotifier, etc... or even add your username to the "tracked phrases" to get the same (mention) notifications. Probably better to add some kind of additional verification tag if necessary.

That's not how this would work. All I would publish is that joker_josue and LoyceV are users of my bot, and thus they will get a notification if mentioned. I would never publish that their telegram handler is @jokerjosuethebest123 and @loycetotallyhuman.

It sparks a question in my mind: is it possible with the current system for anyone to carbon-copied someone's notification? Suppose I registered myself on the tg bot, I understand the database collected our tg username and the BTT UID, does the bot allows other tg to register and bind themselves to the same UID or will it automatically reject the impersonator's registration because the BTT UID is already registered to someone's tg username on the database?

If it is possible, how feasible is it to make a restriction where once an UID is bind to a TG username, no other TG username can connect to the same UID anymore? Suppose an impersonator get ahead of the original UID owner and registered the UID to the tg bot, the original owner can just write here to sort it out? If... that's not too troublesome.


If I have to put myself in other perspective and think of the possible detrimental effect of this idea --thus opposing it-- it would be an added possibility of (1) receiving unsolicited DM, be it the scam offers, or someone genuine from the forum trying to reach you personally, and (2) having my TG enrolled to a telegram bounty campaign without my consent by a bounty abuser. Your list will kinda act as an open buffet for those people, giving them list of available telegram contact and the forum username associated to it.

But those risks are already present with or without your list. Anyone can easily scroll past a bounty spreadsheet or type "telegram username:" on the search field on ninjastic with specific forum username on the author field to basically get the same --if not more comprehensive-- result. So I don't think it's much of "an issue" because more likely than not, our username is already exposed "without our consent" by the bounty spreadsheets and telegram group we joined.

I could add a note saying that there is no way to know if the user is an impersonator and optionally let them send a DM to @TryNinjaBOT so they are marked as "verified".


Now the question remains: opt-in or no?

I would appreciate a view from anyone contrary to having their username exposed without consent.

I think the best option would be to send a message to everyone saying yes or no to being included on the list. For new registrations, you put this message right at the beginning of the settings. If the person says no right away, if they change their mind and want to join the list, then send a DM to the bot to do this (or a command).

If you only do this via DM, I believe that most people will not do this, because many will not even remember or will not want to take the trouble. So if you go ahead with this, it should be as simple as possible.
