Auto-Bump for BitcoinTalk.org

autobump

A simple Autobot to bump your inactive threads once in 24 hours on BitcoinTalk. I have seen some service providers(Decepticons) on BitcoinTalk who provide this service. But, Personally, I think the costs of those services are not worth for the actual service. It is very simple bot and why not to give for free?

So does this repo born. An opensource to auto-bump your inactive threads. If you can contribute, well, you're always welcome to the community ;)

Oh, here is my BitcoinTalk link to contact me. Let me know what you think ;D

Get Started

1. Download/Clone this repo.
2. Configure data
3. Add Threads
4. Add cron on your server to run cron.php with duration on your preference.

Version

Well. Let's say this is version 0.0, shall we? That's bad, what happened to professionalism?

So,

1. 0.1(beta)

Configure Data

All configure-able data are available in data.json file.

Sample config looks like

 {
     "file": "data.json",
     "settings": {
         "username": "bitcointalk username",
         "password": "base64 encoded password",
         "cookieLength": "-1",
         "msgToPost": "BUMP"
     },
     "threads": [{
         "url": "url to your thread"
     }]
 }

Username and Password

Under settings add you username and password to your BitcoinTalk account. And beware, you must add your password as Base64 Encoded. You can do that here!

Threads

I think you have guessed how to add threads to data.json file.

No? FINE

Each thread should be a json object, like:

{
 "url":"url to your thread"
}

Add this thread object to the threads array on data.json file.

"threads": [
 {
   "url": "Your thread URL"
 },{
   "url": "Your second thread URL"
 }
]
