You get an error message, and a bitcoin address.

Not dead O_o. But there's not much point updating the thread until we have something working. We're active on pm/github

Presenting...

The forum is wanting a /r/bitcointip-esque tipbot. Well, here the project for that bot is! (I hear a 300 BTC bounty is being offered. Is that still valid?)
This bot is written in Node.js, with a Java SMF API by Logik. It will use the forum account Whiskbot, recently created.
Thanks to the author of kapitalize for the plugin! (Not decided that we will use this yet)

Implementation

The bot will use either node-bitcoin or kapitalize.
It will take commands via PM (maybe post) and respond via PM (maybe post)
Is there a way to create (via an API) blockchain.info accounts, or private keys + addresses? It is undecided which one we shall use.

Status

~ A node.js module is currently being developed - waiting for Logik to reply.
✓ Authentication is working.
~ PM commands are still under development (API implementation completed - just needs an actual bot)
- Post commands may be implemented, if the community requests.
- Maybe theymos can implement an interface for the bot, like /r/bitcointip's. It will just use PM (maybe public tips), and planned commands to add are:
TIP
GETBALANCE
EXPORT
HELP
DEPOSIT
