[BOUNTY]: 21000 sats to make ~HealthAndFitness bot to repost every post X Nostr

318 sats \ 106 comments \ @realBitcoinDog 3 Jun HealthAndFitness

zaps forwarded to @Undisciplined (25%) @grayruby (25%) @Aardvark (25%)

It looks like @sn is a bot that takes the highest zap rank post every hour and reposts it on X and on Nostr with the: Title Sats zapped so far Comments so far

Sample @sn X post about @denlillaapan: https://x.com/stacker_news/status/1930006589999595899?s=46&t=AJLfWYMcFR4tAoyfIomXHw

But I wanna make it so EVERY ~HealthAndFitness post is reposted and stackers can put their X handle at the bottom of their post so our HnF bot can tag their X handle when it posts!

@ek wrote an @hn bot to scrape the top posts from Hacker News and post them on SN! He made the code open source, so feel free to use that code as a starting point, but I want it to be like @sn bot and repost every post ~HealthAndFitness post to Nostr too. And I want stackers to put their Nostr pub key at the bottom so they get a “mention” when the post hits Nostr. https://git.ekzy.is/ekzyis/hnbot

Anyways maybe @ek open-sourced the @sn bot code, but I know he did the @hn code. so I’d love someone to write a bot using his code, or the @sn code, or ChatGPT, or any vibe code to just post EVERY ~HealthAndFitness post to X and Nostr and tag the user in both X and Nostr and have all sats it receives go to a separate NWC wallet I setup for the HnF bot. However ek does it I’m hoping it’s free to run this bot in perpetuity. Code you write should be FOSS on GitHub in the spirit of SN!🤠 (Yes @ek is allowed to accept this bounty)

Of course, posting to X and Nostr is free, so shouldn’t cost us anything once it’s setup. It’s not actually posting to SN.

IT SHOULD BE A DRAW FOR STACKERS TO POST TO ~HealthAndFitness PUT YOUR NOSTR PUBKEY IN YOUR POST SO IT GETS SCRAPED AND U GET MORE SATS!! Clearly our territory gives the biggest payout!

@grayruby @Undisciplined @Aardvark @realBitcoinDog are splitting the cost of this bounty. I hope it’s fun!!

Well I actually have no idea how to access that https://help.x.com/en/managing-your-account/how-to-use-the-delegate-feature The help doc says If you accept, that account will now be shown under admin access or contributor access based on the role accepted.

Check account settings or visiting the hnfbot profile?

@realBitcoinDog can you round up the bounty to 25k sats please? 😞 If possible then I would like to send it directly to my lightning wallet holonite@speed.app to prevent the 9% loss

I’m open to it but wanna confirm with my fellow investors they wanna pay 6,250 sats each? @grayruby @Undisciplined @Aardvark

Is there a way to mark the bounty as “paid” even if I paid outside SN?

I think the saying goes "Don't verify. Trust." or something like that... I don't know, just tell me where I'm supposed to send sats..

What lightning address did u want to be paid to?

holonite@speed.app

Is there a way to mark the bounty as “paid” even if I paid outside SN?

I don't think so. You have 2 ways ig

Pay the bounty here, so I get 70% of 21k which is 14.7k and then pay the rest 10.3k in my wallet
Leave the bounty as it is, pay it directly to the wallet and post a pinned comment "BOUNTY IS PAID TO <username> in <link to that post/comment>" and then post it

41 sats \ 21 replies \ @realBitcoinDog OP 8 Jun

I checked Damus and looks like it still reposts posts that it posted a while ago? https://damus.io/nevent1qqsf3tqnd9p8puf95gqzqwrevye2nz60xpaum2ggqwrjm6y9fqygwrqpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduqs6amnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dsq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wd3skueqpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejsd4nyse

And it does posts in “bursts” I think that’s just part of the work flow? Like every hour it’ll just post everything in top so it might post something it already re-posted? That’s probably fine because that’s the point or is it better to avoid that?

X looks like it’ll repost the same post too in back-to-back hours until it hits 17 posts. https://x.com/hnfbot/status/1931414981804691500?s=46&t=AJLfWYMcFR4tAoyfIomXHw

Or looks like it’s all fixed in posted.txt now!

Duplicate Prevention (loadPostedCache/savePostedCache): Tracks posted items in posted.txt to avoid reposting the same content.

62 sats \ 14 replies \ @noknees 8 Jun

It does it in bursts, like per hour as I told you. The bot runs per hour. And it reposts those posts whose stats have changed in that 1 hour. Like if a post has 1 comment an hour ago which changed to 2 comments within the next hour, it will post it otherwise it get blacklisted in posted.txt and will not be posted again. Is that acceptable? Or do I need to change it?

20 sats \ 13 replies \ @Undisciplined fwd 8 Jun

I like that concept. Can it say something like "This post is active ~HealthAndFitness"?

If it's going to post duplicates, maybe we can reduce the posting frequency. I don't think people will follow the account if it feels too spammy.

62 sats \ 3 replies \ @noknees 8 Jun

Reduce posting frequency as like posting every 2 hrs instead of 1 hour?

So where is the service running? Virtual private server?

it's hosted entirely on github and is automated through github actions workflow. you can check it here if the bot is working or not

Are there ongoing maintenance costs?

none for now

Is there a user’s guide? How do posters list their X or Nostr handles?

not a specific user guide but I mentioned how the bot runs in layman's terms here #999588 however the bot mentions users by their username on SN because you know, most people here want to remain anonymous. so i think posting them by their x handles or nostr handles wouldn't be a good thing. moreover, it prioritizes your posts first and then others.

So you’re saying you on purpose don’t have the @ symbol so my corresponding X nym @realBitcoinDog gets tagged?

62 sats \ 9 replies \ @Undisciplined fwd 7 Jun

Yes, that's fine with me. Could we sweeten it with some kind of incentive package, though? Like, maybe the developer gets the referrals generated from this tool.

62 sats \ 8 replies \ @Aardvark fwd 7 Jun

My package is pretty free if anyone wants to use it as an incentive...

62 sats \ 7 replies \ @Undisciplined fwd 7 Jun

That's far too generous

182 sats \ 6 replies \ @Aardvark fwd 7 Jun

Not according to my wife.... we may need to sweeten the pot a little bit.

21 sats \ 5 replies \ @realBitcoinDog OP 7 Jun

@istealkids, @Undisciplined makes a good point. Looks like your bot is just linking posts without a referral link. How about adding /r/Israel kids to the end of every URL? Then u get 10% of referral rewards as a kickback! And incentivize u to help maintain the bot 🙏

50 sats \ 1 reply \ @noknees 8 Jun

nah it's ok. working for bounties is more than enough for me. i'd rather add /r/realBitcoinDog at the end of the links.

uh a plan change, you'll need a dev account for the X, so you don't need to create that. I'll do it. You just create a nostr acc like on primal or damus or anywhere, name it (something like HnF bot) Go here follow this paste the nsec1.... here

If the bot thing doesn’t work out I am planning to have @supercyclone do some similar things for me for Sports when his school year is over as kind of a mini summer job where he can earn some sats. Maybe he can do a few daily posts for H+F as well.

@Undisciplined @Aardvark

41 sats \ 2 replies \ @realBitcoinDog OP 4 Jun

Hey that’s cool if he gets paid sats to code! Does he like SN or is it like having Dad on Facebook but worse?

52 sats \ 1 reply \ @grayruby fwd 5 Jun

He only goes on SN to make his picks but I want him to do some stuff with the territory in the summer. Not necessarily coding but to help out.

50 sats \ 0 replies \ @realBitcoinDog OP 5 Jun

Hmm

121 sats \ 15 replies \ @ek 4 Jun

Just saw the bounty is 21k sats.

Sorry, but I think this is not reasonable for what you’re asking.

Just the code would probably be 50k if not way more and then it might be shitty code that breaks all the time.

And then, if you want them to also run it for you, that will probably also cost you around 10k sats per month.

I pulled these numbers mostly out of my ass, but from what I’m hearing, I thought you’d appreciate a reality check.

But maybe I’m not considering junior devs that would just do it for fun 🤔

41 sats \ 11 replies \ @WeAreAllSatoshi 4 Jun

I agree, 21k is too low IMO

61 sats \ 10 replies \ @WeAreAllSatoshi 4 Jun

Maybe I’m biased because k00b pays well for contributions

92 sats \ 0 replies \ @realBitcoinDog OP 4 Jun

Really you’re saying we need to trick @k00b into thinking this is a feature request that all territory owners as part of their 50k sats/mo rent get their very own bot that they control to repost content in their territory as they see fit onto Nostr and X!

And then @k00b can set a super high bounty for this to further incentivize territory owners to found a territory cuz they each get to have their own bot, and then u can code it up @WeAreAllSatoshi and get your fat payout!!

190 sats \ 8 replies \ @Undisciplined fwd 4 Jun

Maybe the better course of action is making this a feature for all of the territories, then.

~HealthAndFitness doesn’t have the resources of the mighty k00b.

92 sats \ 7 replies \ @WeAreAllSatoshi 4 Jun

If I had time I’d do it for free, it sounds like a fun experiment

111 sats \ 6 replies \ @realBitcoinDog OP 4 Jun

Yup that’s the rub! Those with the skill don’t have the time!

So need someone w/ time who’s eager, or a high enough bounty haha!

Do u own any territories @WeAreAllSatoshi?

20 sats \ 5 replies \ @WeAreAllSatoshi 4 Jun

No, I do not own any

132 sats \ 4 replies \ @realBitcoinDog OP 4 Jun

@Undisciplined my goal is for whoever fills the bounty to open source the code so any territory could benefit if they wanted to.

I wonder if I could pay myself the bounty by literally just copy pasting the code @ek provided into ChatGPT and saying “now do this for ~HealthAndFitness” but he said it’d be a little harder than that.

His current proposal is for us to raise our bounty to 50k sats, which is the cost of a whole month of our territory. We’ll see if we get takers at current bounty level 21k sats

No this is useful thank you! My fellow ~HealthAndFitness may be interested in raising the bounty if needed!

Sounds like that @sn code is a better starting point than the @hn repo?

And do u think a bot like this is even a good idea?

92 sats \ 1 reply \ @ek 4 Jun

Sounds like that @sn code is a better starting point than the @hn repo?

Yeah, that code actually posts from SN to other platforms. @hn posts from HN to SN which is not what you want.

And do u think a bot like this is even a good idea?

I think it's a good idea to try out

Well so I know Netlify will run a GitHub repo code for free.

I’m not opposed to paying for a VPS but I’d like to know of free options first!

60 sats \ 1 reply \ @WeAreAllSatoshi 4 Jun

I haven’t used Netlify, but it’s important to note there’s a difference between hosting a (static) website from a GH repo, and running a backend service that is polling external resources over and over (because I assume there is no webhook support from SN)

50 sats \ 0 replies \ @realBitcoinDog OP 4 Jun

How DARE you assume there is no web hook support from SN! Surely @ek can confirm that there is in fact web hook support!!

But yes you’re right I realize now I had Netlify help me host a static webpage
