Telegram Bot

This bot allows you to receive, store and send pandacoins on Telegram.

Telegram Bot

The PandaTip Telegram bot lets you hold and move PND without leaving Telegram — handy for sending tips in the Pandacoin Telegram group, rewarding community contributors, or doing quick wallet-to-wallet transfers on the go.

All bot commands are sent in private chat with the bot unless otherwise noted. Tips are the one exception — they work in the group chat where you want to tip someone.

Get started

1. Find the bot in Telegram and start a chat with it.

2. Get your deposit address — send /deposit or /address in private.

3. Fund it — send PND to that address from your desktop wallet (the PandaBank), an exchange, or have a friend tip you.

4. Check your balance — send /balance in private.

Your funds are held in an account tied to your Telegram @username (or your numeric UserID if you don't have one — see the warnings further down, this matters).

Tipping

Once you've got PND in the bot, share the love:

/tip <user> <amount>

Make sure you correctly tag the user (with @) — the bot can't tip someone who isn't properly tagged.

Multi-tip

You can tip multiple users at once, as long as the number of users matches the number of amounts:

/tip @alice 10 @bob 25 @charlie 5

Withdraw to your main wallet

To send PND from the bot out to your regular Pandacoin wallet address:

/withdraw <address> <amount>

Or with the amount first:

/withdraw <amount> <address>

Double-check the address before sending. Withdrawals cannot be reversed. If you send to a wrong address, the PND is gone.

⚠️ Account ownership — read this

Your PandaTip account is tied to your Telegram @username. That's both convenient and fragile. A few scenarios to be aware of:

You want to change your @username

Changing your @username moves your PandaTip account with you only if the bot already knows both identities. Safer flow:

1. With your new @username, get a deposit address from the bot.

2. Switch back to your old @username.

3. Use /withdraw to send your balance to the new deposit address.

4. Switch to your new @username and confirm the funds arrived.

This way the coins are moved explicitly, not dependent on the bot following your rename.

You lose your @username to someone else

If you change your @username and someone else later claims the old one, they gain access to whatever PandaTip balance was tied to it. This is a limitation of how Telegram usernames work, not a bug.

If this happens and you can prove you used to own that @username, admins may be able to help — but only if the new holder is willing to give the funds back. Don't count on it.

The safe move: transfer funds out before you abandon a username.

You have no @username (account tied to UserID)

If you don't have a Telegram @username set, your PandaTip account is tied to your numeric Telegram UserID instead.

• Set a @username if you can — it makes tipping you possible and makes account recovery a bit more flexible.

• If you delete your Telegram account without a username, the balance is effectively unrecoverable (unless you can prove the old UserID was yours to admins).

You delete your Telegram account

• If you had a @username: create a new Telegram account with the same username and you should regain access. But if someone else grabs that username first, it's theirs.

• If you had no @username: the account is tied to the old UserID, which you can't recover once deleted.

Withdraw before deleting.

Safety tips

• The bot is custodial. Balances you hold in the bot are not in your own private keys — they're in the bot's wallet, credited to your account. Good for small amounts and tipping. Don't park large balances in it.

• Withdraw regularly to your own Pandacoin wallet for anything more than pocket money.

• Nobody from the team will DM you asking for your balance, password, or login. See the FAQ on scam DMs.
