[TelegramBot] Merit watcher and Mention Notification Bot

[giammangiato]

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.

Hey there,

as mentioned before - I really like your bot and made my life way easier after piggys bot disappeared, so thanks again!

I am sure we can raise some money to thank you for the work you are putting in as well as vps costs, cant we guys?!

What figure are we talking about to make it worth your while?

At moment i use a 5$ VPS. I can rework code and try to parse all nicknames in message.
Now i parse message and extract @nickname and evaluate nickname (if present).

Probably have to use a real database first (for data store).

This is really great!!!!

I set my /nick with @ on it. Is this correct?

Can you please quote ot mention if it is working correctly? Thank you so much!

Quote test.

There is no need to put @ when setting your nick.

I'll do the mention in the next comment.


See if you get a second notification @Insanerman

Thank you! Very happy to ear this.
In this actual moment, i've switched from flat-file database to SQL database.

Try to update data / register new user and tell me if works.

Statistics on my website, not updated yet.

You are welcome - we need to thank you!

Do we (existing) users have to change/do something? I wasnt notified about your quote.

That worked, thanks!

[fillippone]

It worked!
@giammangiato the bot is now almost perfect. Only some small improvement are needed!

[babo]

@giammangiato i see you switch to real db (like my advice)

you can understand now the ugly way never pay - next time start with real db (i mean SQL) from start

because change after is a mess

[fillippone]

I just noticed I  quoted a message where I was tagged with @ and I received a notification from myself. I think you should "blacklist" self-notification.

[Insanerman]

See if you get a second notification @Insanerman

You quoted my reply but I do not receive any notification 
I also changed my /nick without using "@" before my username

Try to update again. You might have been affected by the recent change in database

@giammangiato I received notifications without having to update my data after the switch.

Good morning everyone, a small update for everyone on the development status of the telegram bot.
I'm working (at the moment with my forum account) on the other important features:
- giving a name and a link to the merit received requested by @fillippone
I have already migrated to a real database and soon there will be new useful features.
Like address watch.
Like topics watch.

Good to know you are still working on those features.
Merit scraping and also, disable auto-quote.
Next time you quote/merit me I will try to take a picture of the way I use your bot.

Edit:
Look what you made to me: your bot sending notification to my smart watch, haptic feedback of every merit/mention on Bitcointalk (only notification I get on the smart watch, so I know where it comes from).



Sorry for the hairy wrist...

what a funny idea!
and i would be happy if i could now send you 2 notifications on your wrist by merit and quote
thanks for your ongoing improvements giammangiato. the bot is running really well.

@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

[Deathwing]

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.
