telegram and telebit

[neopharma]

Hei!
do you guys use telegram and it's telebit service?
I really like telegram - it kind of looks like Wapp, but it has all these cool bots that give it so much functionality and a lot of the people interested in Bitcoin use it.
among the bots is @bitcoinwalletbot, which acts as a wallet and you can send directly to user names or to bitcoin wallet addresses.
There are other cool bots, too, but I thought this one might interest you.

if you want to talk to me on telegram, look for @nadir9922. I always like to meet new people.

I tried telegram a few years ago, but i unistalled it because i had many unknow contants in telegram contacts list.

I don't now why, but that was very strange... maybe my phone number was owned by someone else before, and telegram shows in contacts list people that have your phone number in their phonebook??? I've never understood that.

The idea of bitcoin bots for such programs is interesting, but unfortunately, it never takes off until the leading platform accepts it natively. Hopefully, whatsapp will accept Bitcoin natively in the future, I think it will eventually happen once its more mainstream.

The big problem with bots like this and changetip on reddit is that the owner can run away with all the Bitcoins at any time. They will get tempted once the balance gets really high, especially if the owner is anonymous.

but the owner of telegram is not anonymous. I don't know about the owner of the bot, though - but I will look it up when I'm on the desktop. And you don't have to keep a lot of money in the wallet, I only keep about 5 usd for tips on it. There are a lot people in bitcoin groups there that have helped me  and it's nice to show a small token of appreciation

yes, a bitcoin service on wapp woul be even better, but telegram only resembles wapp. As far as functionality and utility go, telegram is much more advanced.

i had the same problem  
But you can change that in the configs.

i was skeptical at the beginning with telegram but right now i actually prefer telegram than whatsapp.

The problem with this is, not all my friends are Bitcoiners and you have to be a Bitcoiner to pay for this service.. right? I can contact complete strangers on WhatsApp, without the need to download or

to install any App or pay for these services in Bitcoin. It would be cool if we could find a App like this, where you could send small amounts of Bitcoin over WhatsApp or some instant messaging service.

I only know about something similar, like  http://getgems.org/ where you get rewarded to chat with your friends.

I downloaded telegram just when it was released. Only point was that no one of mine friends sticked to telegram and they keep using whatsapp. Think that it will be really hard for telegram to convict people to use telegram instead of whatsapp. Need to admit that I didn't do good research about the functionality of telegram and what you all can do with there bots.

If you like to meet new people in the crypto space then there are a lot of projects which have a telegram group you can join.

This is better in my opinion than asking here random people for getting in contact with you.

You do need to install Wapp
The service is not paid for, it comes with the program.

Hello!
I already have the service and I am in a number of groups, I was just trying to see if there are people here that use it and, if so, would you guys like to create a group dedicated for this forum?
It would be nice to also chat with you in real time
