As I see, there is no news about old reddit gridcoin tip bot for now (link). Creator of the bot doesn't answer, so I decided to do own tipping bot.
That is planning stage of bot development. This bot also could be used in other chats (like telegram) too with minimal changes.
Reddit-related functions
- Authentication
- Receive PM from user and do some actions
- Send PM to user after

Gridcoin-related functions
All transactions are on-chain.
- Do outcoming transactions, update user balance
- Check for incoming transactions, update user balance
Commands
Public commands:
- tip {amount} - tip amount to username. Only public command and public-only command.
PM commands are:
- balance - show your balance
- withdraw {address} [amount] - withdraw specific amount to address
- address - show your receiving address
- help - show all commands (also triggered by any unknown command)
Database structure
As usually I'll use MySQL.
- users - uid, username, address, balance, timestamp
- inbox - uid, message, timestamp
- tips - uid, post_comment_id, from_user_uid, to_user_uid, amount, timestamp
- deposits - uid, user_uid, amount, tx_id, wallet_uid, confirmations, status, timestamp
- withdrawals - uid, user_uid, amount, tx_id, wallet_uid, timestamp
- variables - uid, name, value, timestamp - for various variables
How it should work
- Gridcoin address and balance linked to username. New users created on tip or first pm
- Users can tip each other
- Users can deposit or withdraw coins
- Experimental feature: Even if user have no funds, he still can tip some amount once a day (like a faucet, but reward sent to other person)
