This bot doesn't have any relations with official Telegram. This topic is kind of an advertisement that misleads people.
This is not an advertisement. I would never consider someone talking about a Discord bot to be talking about an official bot released from Discord. It is incredibly common for users to write bots on these platforms.
This is a very interesting concept. The bot implementation seems a little too noisy to catch on in most of my group chats, but I love the concept and I hope moderation ideas like this get tighter integration with chat apps in the future.
Not sure. It's one of those "the solution to everything is a market" fixes. See the "The “Why your anti-spam idea won’t work” checklist.[1]
All @timecobot notifications disappear after a few seconds and do not clog up the general chat
They still make my phone vibrate, unless I mute the chat.
No, ”bots api” contains param "disableNotification=true"
Obviously mobbing and multiple accounts break this, but it's still a fun little idea. If it's invite-only group which would eliminate sock-puppeting it could be interesting experiment.
Yes, it's can be invite-only group. Also, in @timecobot the time is carried over between chats. In other words, time is an attribute of the Telegram user, not the chat user.
Why do all the people in the examples hate RMS?
This is just an example of how time-based currency can help resolve disputes in chat.
I do not see how will this help, it will create opinionated groups that are close to different views. So, each time someone expresses his view, the entire group can act against that person, which is exactly what happens today on the twitter, if you express unpopular view about let say "gender" topic, there will be entire cohort of hate tweets...
It seems like many other ideas, this was well intended, but devs have not considered many negative type of misuse and exploits...
I prefer to give people as much freedom as possible to manage their community. It would be interesting to know what will come of this. No censorship of moderators like Twitter
Wouldn’t this just lead to endless timecoin spam if there is a heated timecoin debate / argument?
A little practice over the past few days in connected chats (~300 people) shows that a certain order develops by itself
Interesting, love to see some experiences / reports how this works in practice.
Among cryptocurrencies, there is one based on time:
Grin's emission is one Grin per second, forever.
So the supply always equals the time it existed (almost 2.5 years now).
In my project, the timing is more practical and related to chat management.
Did you read the article? This has nothing to do with cryptocurrency.
Great idea, I think.
This is a bot, not something provided by telegram itself.
Yeah, OP seems to be self promoting their project with a misleading association to Telegram official
Yes, this is a bot, but the time-based currency works for all Telegram users, regardless of the chat. This is not self-promotion: Telegram bots api is open for everyone.
If it is written by the author of the bot it is per definition advertising. Might be interesting but the title is still misleading.
