Hello, I am developing a tipbot for bitcointalk and using this thread  as my testbed.

If your bot continuously scans the entire bitcointalk forums for tips I would imagine that it would create enough load to potentially require that your bot be IP banned due to the excessive bandwidth. Maybe not though, you should at least discuss it with theymos first to determine if the bandwidth will be an issue and if he's okay with a tipbot on these forums due to it potentially making the forums a means of "money transmission" and the laws in regards to money transmitters.

Hello and thank you for pointing that.

The bot does not scan the entire bitcointalk forum and i'm doing it forum friendly, in order to prevent spamming.
Anyone has the choice to use it and anyone can ban me without warning.

But i'll contact theymos asking for he's approval.

Thank you.

EDIT:
Doing some premature calculations the bot will consume around 17MB/day or 510MB/month.
This is done by querying 6KB of data each 30 seconds
