[TelegramBot] Merit watcher and Mention Notification Bot

[fillippone]

@fillippone
You are really crazy my friend, i love your crazy mind!
If want, tell how you setup this notification on your smartwatch and device you use at this moment.

i love crazy tech stuff

Xiaomi Miband4. 35 euro on Amazon.
Notification link with your device via Bluetooth.
You can select which notification you want to push.
I chose only notification from Telegram, and in telegram I chose to be notified only by Giammangiato Bot.
Overall a very nice smartband, considering the price. Heart rate/sleep/activity tracker. Bluetooth connection, 14 days battery (hello to Apple Watch owners)

Some features that can be added:

* Merit sender and topic link. As on the Merit page.
* More sentences than quotes. It would be good. 6-7 words are not understandable.
* There is no need for notification when the name is mentioned in the quote in quote.
* You can add Trust notifications weekly. Those who add or remove you trust list. Like this page. Or you can link directly, when the update takes place. Usually @Loycev updates on Tuesdays.

You did a great job. Congratulations and thank you!

I don't know if it's me but does the bot automatically notify when someone mentions my name in a post? Like if someone posts "I agree with Deathwing" should I get notified? I only seem to be getting notifications regarding quotes.

I would really like an option like this, so if anyone writes @Deathwing or Deathwing in general, I would receive a notification. I believe you can scrape all the posts on Bitcointalk for this.

In my case, I don't get notified when there's no @ before my username but some users say it works for them.
You are not the first one to make this notification without @ request and this is what the bot developer has to say:

~ Yes, you are correct. I would plan to extend without "@" the mention.

Not using the @ for the nickname creates many problems!

The regex would process every word and therefore I would have to totally change the algorithm:
I would have to cycle all the nicknames and search in the text if someone is found! Its a mess!

Now it works differently, I take the nickname with the @ and see if i have it in the database, more efficient.

If i raise some donation i can upgrade VPS and add this feature, but at the moment isnt good idea.

If you wish to add more funding for the further development the bot, the donation address is in the OP.

* Merit sender and topic link. As on the Merit page.

The topic link is fine for me but I wouldn't mind if the sender is included as well.

you can also use any existing Garmin Fitness- Smartwatch.
The only thing you have to do is to allow telegram notifications and, of course, activate the notifications within the bot.

Yes, I think notification integration is a pretty standard feature for this class of products.
I just picked up that because of th cheaper price.
But I was quite surprised for the overall quality (companion app included).

Anyway I am pretty confident that @piggy or @gammangiato didn't think about this feature, when implementing the bot!

[giammangiato]

I am very happy to know that you are using it and that it is useful to you, to entire community.
I hope I can always work on it, if I see that I can't find time anymore, I will release the opensource code. Thanks

notifications in the smartwatch are pro

I'm not getting any notification. Neither for merits nor for mentions.

I also haven't used the bot in a while since I was travelling and without Telegram on my phone, so maybe I have to do something? The last thing I did was send a "/nick TryNinja" command.

If you have set the uid and nick you just have to make sure that the notifications for the bot in telegram are enabled.
the three dots on the top right -> notifications on

The bot isn't sending me any message, so I assume this is irrelevant in this case.

The last message was:

Code:

NICK tryninja => Registered

But I haven't received a single notification after this. P.S: I was receiving merit notifications until January 17 (last message). And I have gotten a lot more merits since them.

Maybe just stop the bot and re-add your user.
I have had the bot running without any problems since its release.

January 17 was also the day when OP transferred to a new database. I think you have to register again to receive notifications. Refer to this post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5209107.msg53629978#msg53629978

* You can add Trust notifications weekly. Those who add or remove you trust list. Like this page. Or you can link directly, when the update takes place. Usually @Loycev updates on Tuesdays.

I usually update my Trust list viewer on Saturdays, but it takes me 2 more days to update the navigation on older pages. If you want to see the latest update earlier, you'll have to check my topic or loyce.club/trust for the latest version on Saturdays.

If OP wants to create direct links to updates of my Trust list viewer, I can help him with a custom link that's updated weekly instead of having to find my weekly changing URL.

Yeah, I did that and received a notification about my merit increasing (it didn't right now but the bot had an outdated number, so it makes sense). I would appreciate if anyone can quote me/mention me so I can test if it's all working.

I just found a problem with your registration, a small bug due to a wrong entry.
I tried to fix it, waiting for you to give me feedback about it.
Unfortunately your nickname it broke when I upgraded to the real database!

It's working again. I got a notification for this post.

Thank you.

Hello Lafu how are you?

--
update:
the telegram notification bot is not case sensitive, it means that it does not matter if your nickname is written in upper or lower case.

have a nice day dear and thank you for using my bot

[Lafu]

Hello Lafu how are you?

Thanks and its working for me .
I get the notification and that what you have written.
Guess it makes no difference when the bot has written that my nickname is lafu as i has written Lafu.
But anyway its working so all is good ,awesome .

If OP wants to create direct links to updates of my Trust list viewer, I can help him with a custom link that's updated weekly instead of having to find my weekly changing URL.

Thank you LoyceV. I thank you very much for your help, I appreciate it very much.
Feel free to contact me privately with a PM and give me all the information to be able to use your data.

I will update the TODO with your latest requests.

* Merit sender and topic link. As on the Merit page.
* More sentences than quotes. It would be good. 6-7 words are not understandable.
* There is no need for notification when the name is mentioned in the quote in quote.
* You can add Trust notifications weekly. Those who add or remove you trust list. Like this page. Or you can link directly, when the update takes place. Usually @Loycev updates on Tuesdays.

I like your bot, and good to see that will develop forward with new features
Please, can you leave the code as it is now for us that want to keep this notifications simple as they are up to this stage
Something like “/simple” code in the telegram, just to show merits and quotes
I like the way is done since this phase

Tnx
