1 Telegram

Telegram is an instant messaging service, much like Line, WeChat and WhatsApp. Telegram is available for your computer (Linux/macOS/Windows) and your smartphone/tablet (Andoid/iOS). Telegram can also run in your browser (after you have created an account on your phone), by visiting https://web.telegram.org/.

For more info, you can visit the official Telegram website: https://telegram.org/.

For Android, the app is also available on F-Droid. This version has Google Play Services dependencies removed and the app is completely FOSS (Free and Open Source Software). The source code can be found on GitHub.

Accounts on Telegram are tied to a mobile telephone number.


1.1 Telegram security

As the wallet is tied to your Telegram account, you can lose your Reddcoins when others get access to your Telegram account. Prevent this by enabling these two security measures via SettingsPasscode Lock and/or Two-Step Verification.

Enabling these security measures are not mandatory, but are heavily recommended.



2 Reddcoin bot

Telegram allows bots, accounts that are operated by a program. These bots can respond to messages and mentions.


The Reddcoin bot is a bot you can interact with to:

  • have an online wallet
  • withdraw from and deposit to your wallet
  • request your current balance
  • automatically stake (and see your staking rewards)
  • tip others on Telegram
  • and some other functions, like requesting the current RDD price and marketcap

As mentioned earlier, the bot is managed by the Reddcoin developers.

The wallet is linked to your Telegram username. When you change your username, you will not be able to access the RDDs linked to your previous username.


2.1 How to use the bot

First, you need to start a conversation with the bot.
You can do that by clicking here: https://t.me/Reddcoin_bot (the username of the bot is Reddcoin_bot).

Send the following text to the bot: /start.
The bot will let you know which commands are at your disposal.

    The bot automatically stakes with the coins in your wallet!

  • /tip

These commands also exist, but are less important - you can try them out:

  • /hi
  • /price
  • /hallOfFame
  • /marketcap
  • /posv
  • /statistics
  • /moon
  • /about
  • /changelog

Reminder: except for the /rain command, communicate with the bot in private. When you use /balance or /mystakes, for example, in a group, everyone will see the details/balance of your wallet.
