The bot just crashed after this message:

Vindimy, do you do contract work?

For example, +/u/altcointip @D-5000 1 ppc won't match.

Implement action +rates that shows exchange rate summary for given coin/fiat.

In order to gain ability to support multiple database types, as well as improve security and reliability, convert all hardcoded SQL statements to SQLAlchemy ORM statements.

For example, instead of mysqlconn.execute("SELECT * FROM t_action") use conn.select(...).

Notify user when the coins he deposited are available for tipping.

I've noticed that the bot will completely skip any tips made while it's actively processing requests. I'm pretty sure this is due to the bot passing x checkpoint right at the time the tip request is made by the user. I'm not really sure what can be done to improve the bot's performance in catching all requests, but it seems to miss a lot of them.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that the GPL doesn't provide any protections for web applications, because running it on your server is not considered "distributing" it. Just curious about the license choice.

Append a random music track to the end of each message.

Support Twitter platform for tip giving and receiving.

Create a "redeem karma" feature where a user can convert its comment and submission karma into cryptocoins.

It would be great to have special keywords for donation campaigns. A campaign would be initiated by user registering a keyword, then a user would donate by using the keyword.

Fetching ticket values from Vircurex would allow ALTcointip bot to convert DVC (Devcoin) values to fiat and expand range of available coins.

Example of message when attempting to expire tip for which message has been deleted:

WARNING 2013-06-24 20:13:07,341 _get_actions(): couldn't fetch msg.author (deleted?) from msg_link http://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinDevBounties/comments/1c0icu/worldwide_decentralised_human_node_based_postal/cao4v56

Collect karma of posts that initiated tips and use it in user and overall statistics.

I did a write-up on Reddit and then decided it would be better just to come to the source directly anyhow. See: http://www.reddit.com/r/ALTcointip/comments/1zczq2/bug_report_ignore_quotes/

Essentially: quoted text should not be scanned for commands. I tested this without funds, so it wasn't a problem, but proper behavior should be to ignore quoted commands because they are unlikely to be intended as instructions directed at the bot. Additionally, the bot should function on a "better safe than sorry" principle as is general practice with these types of bots.

If you've got the time to do it vindimy, I'll gladly leave it to you (although I certainly wouldn't mind reviewing the patch if you'd like). If you'd like another contributor, I can also roll up my sleeves and take a look at the code. Just let me know that you agree with my correct behavior (ignore quoted text for command parsing), and would like me to do so, and I'll get started as time permits.

Thanks,

It would be great to have the functionality to trade many types of alt-coins. For this, a different instance of the bot would be needed, one that focuses on trading rather than tipping. It can utilize the same user database and coin daemons, though.

The bot should edit its "verify" comments when tip state is updated (declined, expired).

After updating, the bot just sends the sorry message to the user when a tip is made--the syntax is correct, of course.

The logs don't show any errors. I'm going to enable the debug log to see if it says anything.

I am trying to run the altcointipbot on 'Gabencoin'. However, whenever I run it I come across this error:

I think it may be pifkoin trying to load up the default configuration for a bitcoind, however I am running gabencoind with different rpc settings. Is there a way to fix this?

Add code to call "keypoolrefill" before requesting new address from coin daemons with encrypted wallets.

Create a cryptocoin class to be used for cryptocoin transactions. Then create a ripple class to do the same with Ripple.

I think I am close to getting this up and running but cannot seem to track down the problem.

Implement ability to prompt for (database, Reddit, wallet) passwords during startup instead of reading them from config files.

Support multiple cryptocoin exchanges configurable through settings.

fyi, tips in promoted posts will crash the bot, since they're not exactly "real" reddit posts.

I just ended up ignoring them with dogetipbot:

mohland@d2fb961

I received a $1 worth of Litecoin from a user, MungoJelly on reddit via altcoinbot back around 2014 or 2015. I opened an account on Coinbase to claim it. It disappeared from my Coinbase account in some intervening time. Last I contacted them about it, they said they needed proof of the transactions. How exactly might someone go about this?

any idea where i should look?

Rather than doing text formatting in code, use a Python templating language to format text and store templates in external files.
