README.md

This is a fork of node-tip-bot-twitter, an open-source node.js twitter bot for tipping with altcoins. In particular, this fork is for LBC. LBRY.io, the network behind it, describes itself as:

...a free, open, and community-run digital marketplace.
You own your data. You control the network. Indeed, you are the network.
Hollywood films, college lessons, amazing streamers and more are on the first media network ruled by you.

If you want to get started with LBRY.io, go to https://lbry.io/get. If you wish to set up your own twitter tip bot, it may be more beneficial to start with the original node-tip-bot-twitter.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/gameunits/node-tip-bot-twitter
cd node-tip-bot-twitter
npm install

How to run it?

server=1
