I made a Telegram bot that auto-replies to new or infrequent users. Scammers impersonating devs and DMing users are very common in wallet chat groups. My hope is that this will prevent people from getting scammed. The bot written in Deno and you can easily deploy it on Deno Deploy (or self-host on your own server). https://github.com/hsjoberg/telegram-autoreplier-bot Code is released under public domain. The bot is currently live in our Blixt Wallet chat group. Example scenario on how the bot works: ``` User: I need help please Bot: Hi there user. Beware of scammers <Nasty scammer impersonating a dev DMs the user> User: Oh nice, thanks for the heads-up, kind bot. ``` We’ve seen that a welcome message isn't sufficient protection as people just don't read these. Even you make it crystal clear about scammers. My rationale here for the bot is that they will notice if the bot replies directly to the user's message so they get pinged about it. Cheers guys.
Nice. Blixt Wallet is back with v0.6.9! We have a lot of new stuff in this release, such as a new stable Tor implementation, Persistent Mode, Simple Taproot Channels support, 0-conf channels support for Dunder LSP, and a bunch of new languages. https://github.com/hsjoberg/blixt-wallet/releases/tag/v0.6.9 --- This release has a new Tor backend ("newtor") on Android that should be much more robust and reliable. You don't need to do anything in order to experience it, just make sure you have Tor enabled in Blixt settings. --- Blixt Wallet now has support for Simple Taproot Channels! Your private channels will just look like normal Taproot transactions if you do a coop close, which is great for privacy. Dunder LSP & autopilot will also support this feature in the near future. --- Blixt Wallet on Android has a new Persistent Mode, which lets Blixt stay in the persistently in the background. This can be helpful if you're awaiting a payment, or if you just want to keep in-sync with the chain. Depending on the device, this mode may drain more battery life. In a future release, we will allow self-custodial Lightning Address support for users opting in to the Persistent Mode. --- There were a lot of more stuff than the ones discussed here, so be sure to read the changelog.
