greed

A customizable Telegram shop bot that accepts bitcoin payments.

Requirements, Installation & Usage

Please refer to the main greed project fork for requirements, installation guide, and usage instructions before proceeding with the bitcoin setup below

Integrating Bitcoin

1. Edit the config/config.toml file to set your Blockonomics api_key from Blockonomics Merchants > Stores, and a secret of your choosing, you'll use this secret while setting up the Callback URL below.

2. Add a new store and set the HTTP Callback URL

   Below are instructions on how to deploy your bot to obtain a Callback URL using Ngrok or Heroku.

   Deploy using Ngrok

   • In a new terminal/cmd prompt, start the bitcoin callback listener on port 5000 python3 -OO callback.py
   • In another terminal/cmd prompt, start ngrok on port 5000 ./ngrok http 5000 or ~/ngrok http 5000
   • Copy the Forwarding URL from ngrok.
   • Set the HTTP Callback URL for your store. Combine the Forwarding URL with /callback?secret=YOUR_SECRET, substituting in your chosen secret from step 2 in place of YOUR_SECRET eg. http://c7f7ecb92ht5.ngrok.io/callback?secret=aN32nFjf4

   Deploy using Heroku

   • Test using heroku cli command: heroku local
   • You will also be able to login to heroku and push your bot to heroku master to launch it into production using the following commands:

   git init .
   git add .
   git commit -m "Deploy to Heroku"
   heroku login -i
   heroku git:remote -a {your-heroku-project-name}
   git push heroku master
   

   • You can now start the greed bot and blockonomics callback from the Heroku Dashboard > Resources.
   • Set the HTTP Callback URL for your store , combine the Heroku App URL with /callback?secret=YOUR_SECRET, substituting in your chosen secret from step 2 in place of YOUR_SECRET eg. https://greed.herokuapp.com/callback?secret=aN32nFjf4

That's it! Restart your bot and start accepting bitcoing payments with your bot!
