Intro

This bot acts as a fortune teller machine similar to Zoltar. If configured correctly, the bot can provide a user with a fortune after a transaction of any size is sent to the bots cryptocurrency address.

The fortune manifests itself as a gemlog on a Gemini website and within the associated ATOM feed.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/t-900-a/gemini-fortune-bot
go build .

A program called gemini-fortune-bot will end up in your current directory.

Usage

gemini-fortune-bot [/path/to/fortune/cookie/file] [website uri] [tx hash] [payment uri] [payment view key]
fortune -h|--help

If you don't specify a fortune cookie file path (see below), fortune defaults to the contents of the FORTUNE_FILE environment variable. If neither the argument nor the FORTUNE_FILE variable is present, fortune aborts.

For the bot to run only after a small payment has been made see below:

monero-wallet-rpc --wallet-file ~/mywallet --prompt-for-password \
--tx-notify "/usr/bin/gemini-fortune-bot /var/fortunes/fortunes monero:donate.getmonero.org %s"

Fortune Cookie File Format

A fortune cookie file is a text file full of quotes. The format is simple: The file consists of paragraphs separated by lines containing a single '%' character. For example::

A little caution outflanks a large cavalry.
    -- Bismarck

A little retrospection shows that although many fine, useful software
systems have been designed by committees and built as part of multipart
projects, those software systems that have excited passionate fans are
those that are the products of one or a few designing minds, great
designers. Consider Unix, APL, Pascal, Modula, the Smalltalk interface,
even Fortran; and contrast them with Cobol, PL/I, Algol, MVS/370, and
MS-DOS.

A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams.
