Usage

You can control / communicate with the tipbot by sending the bot a direct message or mentioning its name in a channel. The tipbot responds to certain 'trigger words' in a sentence, so you can wrap the trigger word in a nice looking sentence and it will work.

For example, to trigger the help command you can could say hey @tipbot can you help me figure out how tipping works and the help in that sentence will trigger displaying the help information.

Commands / Trigger words

help - ask the bot for help

eg; Hey @tipbot please show me the help info!

balance - ask the bot for your current balance

eg; Hey @tipbot please tell me my balance.

send <value + unit> @someone - tell the bot to send coins to someone

eg; @tipbot please send .001 TX to @bob will send 0.001 TX to @bob.

This command has a few aliases which you can use; give and sent. You can also use fiat currencies, they will be converted to the TX value. eg; @tipbot can you give @bob 1 euro or @tipbot I'd like you to send @bob 0.5 usd

deposit - ask the bot for a deposit address

eg; @tipbot I'd like to deposit to my tip jar.

withdraw - tell the bot you want to withdraw to an address

after you've requested the withdraw the bot will confirm with you if it's OK, replying with yes, ok or sure will make the transaction happen. eg; @tipbot I want to withdraw 0.5 TX to TaPgrLnmrj1b7495gWKHNq4Zpwx6HZBqyw

eg; _@tipbot what currencies do you know?
