[ANN] cointip bot (version 0.01) here I come

[cadmium]

The long waiting of reddit bitcointip bot to bitcointalk forum has come to an end.

Service is free to use at your own risk, as always.

Current supported currencies are: BTC, LTC, PPC and FTC

PM cadmium with the following commands on the subject:

sign up

info - to get deposit addresses, balance

cointip <username> <amount> <unit_currency> - examples

Code:

cointip cadmium 1 BTC
cointip cadmium 1 mLTC
cointip cadmium 1.22 uBTC
cointip cadmium 1 sBTC --- 1 satoshi
cointip cadmium 1.5 mPPC

withdraw <amount> <unit_currency> with the message body containing <your_receiving_address>

Tipping can also be in a post for example:

"Thanks for fixing my PHP script, +cointip John 0.25 btc . And thank you for such service +cointip cadmium 1 mPPC"

Then you have to pm cadmium with the subject of scan, the bot will scan your last 20 posts, and process tipping requests.

*Update: I just made the bot to crawl on its own for every 10 mins, so that you don't need to send the "scan" command. You can still send it though, if you don't want to wait.*

*Added a new command

subject masstip with the message body containing your cointip list - example

Code:

cointip memberA 1 BTC
cointip memberB 1 mLTC
cointip memberC 0.5 uPPC

Note

* Standard transaction fee will be subtracted from the withdrawing amount (currently BTC 0.0001, LTC 0.02, PPC 0.01, FTC 0.01).

* When request tipping, the tippee has an option to accept or reject (by following the instruction in the pm). Tip request will be expired after a week.
** Fund will be transferred at the point tippee chooses to accept. It will not be held by tip request.
** Which means you can tip 1 BTC to 10 people with your balance of 1 BTC. Whoever accepts first will take it.
** Or you can withdraw your fund before a tippee claims

* Required 3 confirms depositing BTC, 6 for LTC and PPC, 10 for FTC

* Don't feel guilty to tip someone with 1 uBTC or less because it does not get into the blockchain until withdrawal, which has to be more than transaction fee.

Disclaimer
* Still in gamma state, there could be some glitches although I'll try my best not to lose you fund.

Just to verify, I can tip anybody, even if they haven't signed up?

Nice job working on the script though! You deserve a bounty! I recently talked about a bitcointip bot, and this is the best method to do it without modifying the form directly. My only concerns are:

How do we verify you won't just run away with our Bitcoin once we deposit them?
What ensures your bot will be online 24/7?
Is the bot hosted, or is it a simple script running on your computer?
If it does run from your computer, is it on 24/7?
If whatever hosts the script is down when a tip request is sent and the scan command has been sent, will the scan be processed when the script comes back online? (Make sure you have a verification system so that the bot itself knows when a tip was sent, as that will prevent tip duplication from the script being offline.)

Off-Topic: And the blockchain bloat has begun!

[cadmium]

> Just to verify, I can tip anybody, even if they haven't signed up?

Tipee does not have to sign up. Once he accepts a tip request, he'll be signed up automatically, and be able to withdraw to his personal addresses, or he can use it to tip other members.

> How do we verify you won't just run away with our Bitcoin once we deposit them?

I don't have a good answer, but I do believe in Karma.

> What ensures your bot will be online 24/7?

> If it does run from your computer, is it on 24/7?

It's running on one of my servers, with a system to backup db and wallets in case the host is screwed up.
I also have thought to give the private keys back to the users, in case stuff hits fan.

Yes. And to prevent duplication, it stores records of post-id that it has processed.

Do we get a confirmation and how often are the posts crawled?

Karma.... other than that it looks like your system is really set. If you do scam, word flies here lol. Try setting up a reputation thread on the Off-Topic board as people use your tip service, but other than that it's solid! Nice work! I'll use it.

Another concern. What if we quote a tip like I did above. If I sent the scan command, would it see me as the originating source of those tips, now that I have quoted them? That would be something that would need to be fixed.

Accepted the tip. Never received PPC before too! I'll make a VirCurEx wallet for it. Waiting for confirmation.

[dree12]

Just to be clear:

• If I quote someone who has tipped someone, then send "scan", will cointip accidentally believe I meant to tip?
• If I accidentally scan the same post twice, will cointip tip the poster twice?

Just to be clear:

• If I quote someone who has tipped someone, then send "scan", will cointip accidentally believe I meant to tip?
• If I accidentally scan the same post twice, will cointip tip the poster twice?

I also want an answer to question 1. For question 2, the scan will verify to itself that tips are sent, so they won't be double tipped. Hence the idtip.

Good catch. I definitely overlooked the issue. It is fixed as the scan command will not go into quote. +cointip has to be outside of any div relating tags.

These should be skipped.

Also open source would be nice. Everything here is open source. Note, whiskers75, that you couldn't modify it for use here as it will conflict with his bot.

I've been using this bot in my posts and via PM to cadmium and so far have no issues. This thing works great. All we need now is more altcoin support. It would be cool if an applet could be provided where we could submit code to add to the bot to add various currencies with final approval from Cadmium. Takes the work off of him.

[cadmium]

I'm in the process of revamping my code. I'll make sure to make it easy and efficient to add new currencies, right now it's not quite ready.

However, the real issue holding me back from adding 20 currencies, is each altcoind deamon takes about 300M memory, bitcoind alone sits between 500m-1.2g. The current machine could safely support more 5 coins max. Also, it's not easy to pick which to support, because it's too funny that new coin is born everyday.

That is so true. I would start with the older coins and test having BTC, LTC, PPC, DVC, and TRC together. Also look into getting your script onto a server.

source code is coming, it's just yet ready. There are frontend which has to be built per site and the backend. I don't think the frontend will work right away with other SMF boards, since they can be configured in different ways. The backend supports multiple sites, user wallet can be shared between sites.

I have envisioned the bot enters those karma-matter-communities, such as torrent sites, piratebay. These frontends should point to a centralize backend, so that we can do other interesting things about it, like coin exchange (Imagine people getting junk coins and want to convert to BTC, vise versa).

If you're going to implement a new coin, make it DVC/DevCoin ^_^

I made the bot automatically scans every 10 mins(for now), so that you don't have to send "scan" command after leaving the +cointip in your post, although if you want to have it scan right away, you can still send the command to trigger it.

It won't happen - theymos said that he doesn't want threads to be spammed with verify messages.

Also, the tx fee is 0.0001 now I believe for BTC

[cadmium]

that 9.99 thing could be just a display bug, it's in my list to investigate it.

Right. I did implement it though, it should be turned on on other future forums, if mods are cool with it.

Hmm, maybe it would be possible to have the verify in the post with the tip instead?
But I guess that would need some changes in the board software to show this e.g. directly attached to the post.

[cadmium]

Yea I don't see how to implement verify without getting banned, although I could provide the log for who tip who by editing one of my posts in this thread.

[jaywaka2713]

Cadmium I would suggest in the near future actual tip transfers to once per hour cycles. Because of the new micro payment limitations, small tips are no longer possible. When someone tips, actually show their "theoretical balance" even though they may not have their Bitcoin yet. Once every hour, you should transfer tips from everyone's wallets (if any tips at all) using the sendmany (i think thats correct) command. Keeps your tx low, and circumvents the micro payment restrictions. Also reduces network strain of your host that runs the bot.

[cadmium]

It's using shared wallet. When tipping, it uses "move" command to move amount from account to account, which I believe, it's internal, never broadcasted to the network.

OK thats even better. I just recommend only sending withdrawals once every hour.

yea, thanks, that's interesting idea indeed, I'll research on the sendmany command.

It doesn't need to verify tips as it won't send them in the first place something is wrong. Maybe cadmium could add a verify command that PMs you the confirmation if you use the flag though.

Then you have to pm cadmium with the subject of scan, the bot will scan your last 20 posts, and process tipping requests.

*Update: I just made the bot to crawl on its own for every 10 mins, so that you don't need to send the "scan" command. You can still send it though, if you don't want to wait.*

I tried but scan option didn't worked. I am also wondering if you send tip to person A and then after few minutes tip to person B using scan option. It will might send payment to person A again.

If you want to write tip for different peoples, does bot sends pm to all at same time?
If yes, it can use used to do contest/giveaways like

Not the same time because I have to wait for at least 20 sec to send pm after pm, but if you have a pretty large amount you can say the first 20 to accept, the pm delay should not have a lot of effect.

Dang this seems awesome . I'm going to signup right now. Good luck on adding new features if you're planning to. BTW, could you make a command like 'masspay'? As in the subject is masspay or something similar and the body is all the tips you want to send to different people. I might set up a faucet using your system then.

[cadmium]

you can do that right now, just put the list of tips in the post body

Thanks. Will get to developing the faucet.

EDIT: Should I do 1 tip per line or how? I think it would be best if you gave an example on the OP if that's not to much of a trouble.

[cadmium]

per line is good. It will just scan message body and grab those "cointip ...." just like scanning post.

[cadmium]

btw FTC is supported

Done. The faucet powered by cointip bot link is Sharecoin.tk. Thanks to you cadmium.

[mprep]

Why does it say this:
Balances (available/almost available)
btc: 100.00 uBTC/100.00 uBTC

I didn't deposit twice. .

EDIT: I sent you a tip of 10 uBTC and then requested info. Here's what I got.

Balances (available/almost available)

btc: 90.01 uBTC/90.01 uBTC

There's 2 weird things I see:

1. The fact that I sent you 10 uBTC not 9.99 uBTC s the info states.
2. Available/almost available are the same and change in the same way.

[cadmium]

good job on the faucet 

first issue, is the ui bug as I did not clear the pending amount after it has more than the required confirmations,

the second one is probably a bug somewhere relating to dealing with some specific tiny amounts like 10u, which I'm going to look into.. I believe 8u,9u works though, it's so weird.

[cadmium]

both issues are fixed. sigh. 

[Metatron]

Great work!

Looks like it's working great now!

Keep up the good work!

[P239]

I've been trying to use this to receive a payment for a few days.  I've recived a notice that I got my payment, but when I "ACCEPT" all i get is "Failed to accept idtip=xxxx because unauthorized accept"
??
Did i type ACCEPT wrong?  I'm not finding much documentation or other info anywhere to figure this out.. so any help appreciated.

[cadmium]

It was a bug on case sensitivity on username. Please try again, it should work now.

(He tipped p239, not P239, and the bot was confused.)

[whiskers75]

Woo hoo! New features!
Great job on the bot, cadmium.

+cointip cadmium 0.01 uBTC (do I even have 0.01 uBTC? )

[jaywaka2713]

Do you have any error prevention, or error rollback stuff in the works?

What if I wanted to send 1.01 Bitcoins to cadmium, but I type 10.1 instead. How would I get them back?

Maybe you could implement a safety mode where a user has to specifically put there account in. Once in safety mode, you get a confirmation message sent to you before the tip is actually executed.

[cadmium]

well, todo: user should be able to see the tipping log, and able to cancel tip requests.

[WaterTrooper]

I have a few questions, would it be best to post them here or send you a PM?

[cadmium]

post here, pm is crowded with bot messages.

[Moogle]

This is quite an impressive little script you have going. I had no idea about it until I got tipped earlier on.  Needs to be made more public! Shout it from the roof tops haha

[letuslook]

Really nice script!

I'm a noob and trying to figure thus out. When I try to do a withdraw I get an error saying:

Failed to withdraw: cannot withdraw more than transaction fee which is 10000 satoshi BTC

What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help. This is a very cool script you have 

Bill

[cadmium]

you'll need to have more than 0.0001 BTC (100 uBTC) to withdraw, since we have to pay for the network transaction fee of that amount just to send the coins to your wallet.

and of course, the fee will be subtracted from the final amount that you will receive.

[Youngbill]

I see said the blind man....... Thank you!

[cparsley]

yay 100 satoshi down, several thousands to go

[HenryRomp]

I think this service would get a lot more use if there were a nice sticky about it somewhere. Maybe in the main bitcoin discussion forum for most exposure.

[LinuxNut]

I have 5400 satoshi BTC, how much do I need before I can withdraw? Or even how do I withdraw.

[cadmium]

you'll need more than 0.0001 BTC or 10000 satoshi, which is the current bitcoin transaction fee, in order to withdraw.

checkout the first post of the thread for all detail.

[DiamondCardz]

I think the LTC tx fee is 0.02 LTC now.

[cadmium]

I think the LTC tx fee is 0.02 LTC now.

adjusted. Thanks!

Damn, this is a really awesome script. Well done dude!

Don't you see: cadmium is offline thus the bot is offline too.

[cadmium]

bot is back, sorry for inconvenience

[greedy21]

ask

i must deposit to use this ?

 

[mprep]

I hope it's possible to implement a verify, so people can recognize a legit tip instantly. 

The bot is offline and probably away.

Sorry to resurrect this, but I haven't found any other threads on BTCT that discuss this topic.

Did this forum tipbot ever get expanded to use other forums?

Does anyone know how this one works behind-the-scenes?  Did it require the installation of a plugin by the forum Admin, or does it operate completely independently of BTCT?

I used the bot for some time as it was quite a nice idea, for small amount anyway.

Does anyone know how this one works behind-the-scenes?

The backend was the user  and owner of the bot "cadmium" running some sort of script that would take input via PM (PMing with the required format noted in the thread) and send the output back via PM. He'd also scan the forum for posts of participating users and attribute tips if you tipped him.

Did it require the installation of a plugin by the forum Admin, or does it operate completely independently of BTCT?

Neither a plugin, nor completely independently. It was based by PM and the user/bot remaing online 24/7. As you can see, sadly, he no longer is.
