Tipbot for EXOS Community Discord

This product is based on the project of noescape00. You can check it out there.

Don't forget to add Manage Messages permission for the bot.

Guide: how to setup your own instance of the bot

A EXOS node (you can get latest release HERE) with RPC turned on needs to be running.

exosd.exe -rpcuser=<username> -rpcpassword=<password> -rpcport=<port> -server=1

You will also need .NET Core SDK installed.

Clone the repository, open powershell in the repo folder and run dotnet publish from it. That will compile the project and produce ..\TipBot\bin\Debug\netcoreapp2.1\publish folder with TipBot.dll and other files in it.

Now you can run the bot using powershell or cmd:

dotnet exec TipBot.dll -daemonUrl=http://127.0.0.1:23521/ -rpcUsername=USRNAME -rpcPassword=RPCPASS -walletPassword=WALLETPASS -token=BOTTOKEN

Bot configuration parameters:

daemonUrl - URL of RPC server. Usually http://127.0.0.1:<RPC port>/
rpcUsername - rpc user name
rpcPassword - rpc password
walletPassword - wallet's password. Dont specify if wallet is not encrypted
token - discord bot token
connectionString - database connection if using diferent host
