Here you can restrict some commands to work only on PM/channel.
Whatever the bot says. Supports expandable variables (eg. %nick%
for bot's nick). By default all config vars from rpc
section are available.
Every nickname has it's own account in your wallet. When tipping or withdrawing, bot checks if user is registered and identified with NickServ. If so, he moves the money from one account to another, or when withdrawing, transfers coins to other wallet.
Before running the bot, you have to be running your coin daemon with JSON-RPC API enabled. To enable, add this to your coin daemon configuration file (eg. ~/.dogecoin/dogecoin.conf
):
server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=<your username>
rpcpassword=<your super secret password>
rpcallowip=<your bot's ip address or just 127.0.0.1 if hosted on the same machine>
To run the bot simply use node bin/tipbot
or npm start
.
Commands are executed by messaging the bot. Commands that have channel:true in the config can be run with '!' in the channel.
