[TELEGRAM BOT] Merit, Trust List, etc. [INFORMATION]

[GreatArkansas]

Telegram Bot name : @BitcointalkProjectBot

I started to explore new, enhance my coding skills and practice how to deploy such services online. So I decided to play around and come up an information bot for bitcointalk such as merits, trust list, more in the future.
Thanks to LoyceV for allowing me to use his/her data located in loyce.club

List of commands for @BitcointalkProjectBot as of now:

• Total merits earned in all-time
• Total merits received last 120 days
• List of users trusted by you
• List of users who trusted you
• List of users who distrusted you
• List of users you distrusted
• Recent Merit Transaction [NEW]
• ...

Just open the @BitcointalkProjectBot in your telegram client/mobile app  and set UID (this can be your uuid or any uuid that existing in bitcointalk)
You can check any profile by just SET UID command

• Merit Earned Overall  - (every week update)
• Merit Received Last 120 Days - Total of your merits last 120 days
• All trusts data - (every week update)

This is my first time to create a bot and deploy it online. Services I used as of now are all free, I don't know yet how huge traffic will affect the bot or how long it will work.

To-do List:

• Trust notification [ADDED/REMOVED] every sunday - by xandy

[GreatArkansas]

Changelogs:

• February 10, 2020
  
  • Added new command - Recent Merit transactions
  • Added emojis  
  • If no one trust/distrust or added to your trust list - added None result
• February 11, 2020
  
  • Last 120 days merits miscalculation FIXED - Thanks @Krislaw

Great job OP, I have tried now your bot. Looking cool all the information getting quickly. I think it's better option to get quick update about a user. Keep it up and add more option, so it would be more useful to use.

Thanks for that, I also planning of instead using a bitcointalk uid, use bitcointalk username or bitcointalk user profile link, or use both to set up the user profile.

It would be more great, I was wondering that during check my profile. It will be more easier if we can set username, so we do not need to look on address bar to copy UID.

I'll figure that out soon after I observed the traffic on the bot, like how the cloud platform I used handle the traffic.

I think there is a minor bug in the code you have made,

I will show the output of my testing:

I like your project as it really helps the member of this forum to easily see their stats regarding the commands.

Thanks for that.
Looks kinda weird. I tried it on my end and got the same, last 120 days merits received also showing 0.
But I tried to restart the bot or service in the cloud platform where I deployed it and as I tried it again, it's now working.
I think I forgot to restart it before after I made some changes.

Can you try it again? It should now work.

Nice! Great job OP, this is also a good bot for monitoring some merits, trust list, and other important stuff about forum. By the way, when I clicked who trust me, there is none in the list but I'm not sure if no one really trust me or its a bug? I am hoping OP can add more useful features in the future. This is a nice addition to the other bot I'm using which notify if someone give you merit or quote you in a post.  Anyway looking forward to the improvement and progress of your project.

I already tried, everything was working well and fine. It's a good stuff OP, this is very useful in applying a signature campaign that requires you to count your last 120 merits received. Before I was manually counting mine and sometimes when I'm lazy to count my last 120 merits got and stating approximately number. But now, for sure we have an accurate answer on it. Great job OP.

Yeah, I hope there are more informative features to come. Just like you will know who was viewing your account, is this possible?

The earned merits in the last 120 days show zero now unlike the first time I tested it. Please check that.

Initially before now, I haven't used any of the bot created by members of the forum because I didn't see a need for any of them (personally) but yours is different. Sadly LoyceV just lost a frequent visitors as this is more convenient. Hope it stays active and updated for as long as possible. Just tried the bot, everything seems to be working fine except the "merit recieved in last 120days). Try to fix it as it'll be helpful when applying for new campaign slot. Hate counting manually.



I tried it severally but still got the same answer, deleted the bot and restarted but no improvement on just the "merit received in the last 120d command". Kudos though on the development of this awesome bot.

You don't have yet your trust list network. I mean what you think is trust feeeback, you can set your trust network in here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust
.

(....) Just like you will know who was viewing your account, is this possible?

About that, that is kinda impossible I think.

The earned merits in the last 120 days show zero now unlike the first time I tested it. Please check that.

I think it was the recently Slow accessing of the forum problem. I just added some error messages if we encounter again those kind of problem.
It's working now.
And as of now, I am still observing about that behaviour.

Thanks for the heads up fellas and feedbacks. I'll try it to improve and add more some features, please don't expect too much for a newbie  

[cryptoaddictchie]

Already put some names on my trust network and tried out using the bot. Still now popping, maybe there is a timeframe for this like 30minutes after the activity conducted. Will see, I'll check it again a bit later. I dont know if I'm on someone trust list already cause no nothing really coming out.

I like how bot don't count airdropped merits  

[Debonaire217]

Thanks for that.

It is now working properly, thank you for fixing the issue. Though, the only downside of it is that, the information isn't updated every day, so we need to update its database first to concisely see the information we need to find. I think it relies on the data base scrapped by LoyceV right? Meaning to say that you also need to update it weekly like how LoyceV created his database.

Wait for another week before it will become available on http://loyce.club/trust/ and remember if no user trusted you, you will not see some users who added you in their trust list.

Glad to hear that and thanks. It's really not updated every day, every week there is data for trust: http://bitcointalk.org/trust.txt.xz .
I don't need anymore to update weekly, trusts data is totally relied on http://loyce.club/trust/, thanks for LoyceV.
If anyone tried to check their trust list or trust data, if you don't have any trust data, like no one listed you on their trust list/distrust list, you will see nothing. So, better to create your custom trust list here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust .

hey GreatArkansas!

great tutorial and really helpful bot. i tested it directly and allowed me to create a small tutorial for the german subforum: [TELEGRAM BOT] Merit / Trust [INFORMATION]
 
Thanks for your work

[LoyceV]

Well done, I like seeing my data used in a constructive way

Glad to hear that and thanks. It's really not updated every day, every week there is data for trust: http://bitcointalk.org/trust.txt.xz .

It's not really possible to get intermediate data. You can add only a certain user to your Trust list to see who they (dis)trust (don't test this from a DT1-account), but other than that, you'll have to wait for theymos' weekly Trust data dump.

If anyone tried to check their trust list or trust data, if you don't have any trust data, like no one listed you on their trust list/distrust list, you will see nothing. So, better to create your custom trust list here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust .

That would be a great suggestion for your bot to users without custom Trust list:

I encourage anyone to create their own custom Trust list!

That's a handy bot for signature campaign participants. Counting earned merits in 120 days has become laborious to some

How often does it count? I tested the merit earned all time and it's off by three merits. I can't verify the merit earned for 120 days yet. For some reason, my counter is only showing merits I sent and received from Jan. 15, 2020. Any idea how to expand it?

[Asuspawer09]

The bot is working fine on me it provides all of my information correctly ... Great Work! 

Your work could help a lot of users in the forum, quickly accessing their data using your telegram bot thanks,

[plvbob0070]

It's now fully working, unlike yesterday that had a lot of bugs and you already added new features on the bot!
