Mintlayer Telegram Bot

Mintlayer's Telegram bot is a powerful tool designed to interact with Mintlayer directly from Telegram. It allows users to manage pools, check balances, and receive notifications on balance changes.

Available Commands

• /pool_add <poolID> - Add a pool
• /pool_remove <poolID> - Remove a pool
• /pool_list - List your pools
• /balance - Get the total balance of your pools
• /notify_start - Notify on balance change
• /notify_stop - Stop balance change notifications

Installation

To set up the Mintlayer Telegram Bot, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository to your local machine.
2. Ensure you have Go installed on your system. You can download it from https://golang.org/dl/.
3. Navigate to the cloned repository directory.
4. Run go build to compile the bot executable.
5. Create a config.json file in the same directory as the executable with the following content:

{
  "bot_token": "<TELEGRAM_TOKEN_ID>",
  "api_base_url": "https://api-server.mintlayer.org",
  "admin_user": "<TELEGRAM_USER_ID>"
}

Replace <TELEGRAM_TOKEN_ID> with your actual bot token from Telegram. Set api_base_url if you run a local api-server, otherwise keep the default. Set admin_user to your Telegram numeric user ID to enable admin-only commands like /broadcast.

Generating Telegram Bot Token

To generate a Telegram bot token:

1. Open Telegram and search for the BotFather.
2. Send /newbot command and follow the instructions to create your bot.
3. Once created, BotFather will give you a token. Use this token in your config.json.

Security

Ensure your config.json is properly secured and not accessible by unauthorized individuals. Never share your bot token.
