Just to be clear, you get no notifications at all, or only on your apple watch?

LOL I felt it was not necessary to see the notification on the Apple watch, I was active on my PC and didn't have any notifications from the bot at the time. I'm pretty sure it's a bot bug, I don't know how but the delay is too slow for me to receive notification emails. If there was a way to speed it up, it would be better than email, but not now  
EDIT: If you don't mind, can send me 1 merit to check the message? I'll send it back to you. This is for testing, not for exchanging merit  

You, merit beggar /jk

No, don't say that, I'll be sad LOL  
But, damn it, there's no notification here, I wonder how long it will take me to get notified  
Here it is, it takes 8 minutes for me to receive merit notification  

I strongly advise you to discuss this bot related issues on the original mention bot thread [TelegramBot] Merit watcher and Mention Notification Bot so to be sure Giammangiato is keeping track of eventual new bug or issues, which could be not adequately tracked if posted here.

Next up, how to have an extra dose of serotonin administered to you automatically whenever something good happens to your bitcointalk profile. Connect IRL with the (((crypto space))). OP should join the Theranos board of directors for some more sci-fi scenarios.

[fillippone]

EDIT: I get the message now  Damn it, it's too late It took about more than 20 minutes to send me a notice, this is inflexible  The latency is too large for a notification bot

Notification are almost immediate for me.
It might be a temporary stress for the bot as new people might be logging into it.

This is quite cool despite being creepy AF. Makes it kinda tempting to send you merits at 3 AM, one at a time 5 minutes apart.

Big mistake indeed to give me attention-access on your wrist

Yes, I am slightly obsessed with merits.

You don't say

Am I the only one who's concerned if a large corporation wants to tell me I sleep better than 93% of the people? Or how my heart rate is doing during sex workouts? Especially as a Bitcoin user, you should really care more about privacy.

I was surprised by the specs: 512 KB RAM. That's so 1995!

You can disable hearth and sleep monitoring.
You can use a trow-away mail to link your companion app.
The rest of your privacy is linked to your general choice about yopur terminal (which are fat off-topic to be discussed here, but I guess were carefully selected).
Giammangiato-bot poses no threats to your privacy, as far as I know. The bot is the only one to know the link between your tleegram handle and forum profile. I don't knwo how much of a relevant information is, as telegram handle can be changed easily.

I think he saw what I posted here, he said he would fix it  It is no need for me to post again in another topic 

Notification are almost immediate for me.

I'm not sure, so far, it's not going well 

Big mistake indeed to give me attention-access on your wrist

Why don't you like it? It is quite useful in many cases where we can't hold the phone

Hmm... How does the use of watches or bracelets affect privacy? Maybe the location? I never put any wallet on my phone, I think it's okay for privacy. I think you are worried about more things, can you tell me?

I was surprised by the specs: 512 KB RAM. That's so 1995!

NO, It was 1987

Big fillippone!

Without a doubt, it is an elegance to have that device, in addition to that it attracts attention, modern, with many features, it is not so expensive, anyone can ask what it is, how it works and they will surely want to enter the forum and learn more about Bitcoin and the technology.

They're just a gimmick. Tried the heartbeat test and this smart band thing always got it wrong (at least the cheap one).

That being said, notifications via e-mail is probably safer.

I'd rather stay low than being put in a spotlight where everyone can see that I have an account in this forum. Don't want them to $5-wrench me.

Absolutely correct and I second this view.
Actually being notified on a wristband allows you to be updated without taking out your (supposedly more expensive) smartphone.

[VB1001]

Excellent guide, in addition to informing me about the incoming merits also informs me of my sports activity, happy with the toy, I recommend it.
Thx, fillippone.

As I said, the price point was a barrier for me.
This costs less than 10% of an Apple watch, with inferior performances, of course, bar battery time, where Apple Watch is beaten big time, and the related function of sleep tracking. (even if you don't sleep very much if you are really focused on the forum.

It is a big deal to invest in that kind of tech but when you already have that, using this would improve your performance of the watch, right? There are 3rd party applications for sleep tracking, so it's okay. Do you have bitcointalk addiction? (No sleep issue lol)

I was referring to the very poor battery life of the Apple Watch, that focres you to charge it at night, hindering any sleep tracking feature.

This is only an option to be able to see merit from various devices. Want to buy a smartband or not it's everyone's choice.

how to see merit on a smartband can also be applied to other devices such as on-screen dashboards in cars and other devices that support Bluetooth connections and have the option to display notifications for telegram applications and other apps.

You seem to have misunderstood my post, I said that it was "too much" I was not referring to the price of the smartband whatsoever, it is rather the concept, and now you are suggesting even "worse" options such as getting merit notifications on car's dashboard, for me the only use for these bots is to actually help me keep up with the different discussions I enroll in.

I am so in love with the forum, but I also have a real-life to live, when I turn off my PC/Phone I wouldn't want to be notified about anything related to the internet, the idea of having these notifications 24/7 for every single merit I receive on my wrist and car dashboard is annoying, but that is just me:).

With that said, I highly appreciate the efforts put by fillippone, sent him a smartband merit for the efforts.

yes this is highly cool.

but as with mikeywith, when i turn away from the forum, or any online thing, i make sure NOTHING will get through. except maybe that heart transplant message or such.

online is one thing, nature is another. not that they are mutually exclusive.

and again this does rock! dont let my personal opinion (which is worth nothing as we know) influence you.

hmmm any way to collect a total and bring that up when the watch is online or that app is active again? that might be cool.. ie time to read up on what the gang is up to, must be a lot going on as 50 merits or @'s came through in the last 2 hours.

EDIT: perhaps a number based on a rolling average? like so many mentions or @s per arbitrary period get flagged and acted upon. so as to get rid of random fluff quotes that arent really pertinent and let you know something real is up.

We don't have merit/mention notifications to email yet, most people have mobile phones anyway so just use the telegram bot on your mobile.

MORE TO COME...

wow ... efforts to find out the merit we get seem to be increased again, which yesterday could only be known through the telegram application on the smartphone and the computer, this time it could also be known through the smartwatch, technology makes changes extraordinary.
and you have done, it cool bro

This is something you can definetly ask in the Telegram bot thread.
I have no clue on how easy it is to implement it, but it seems a reasonable idea to me.

Hey fillippone




I’m not going to do this (I don’t get as many as you, ya bastardo) but it is very clever
