# Telegram Bot

### 💰 Get started

Create a deposit address or ask a friend to send you some pandas.

Use `/deposit` or `/address` in private to know your own address on the bot.

Then you can send funds to that address the same way as you usually transfer funds with your PandaBank.

Use `/balance` in private to know how much Pandacoin you have got in your account.

### 💁 Tipping

Once you have some pandas, share them with your friends. Use `/tip <user> <amount>` Make sure to correctly tag your the person you are tipping.

ℹ You can tip multiple users at the same time, as long as the number of tagged users matches the number of provided amounts.

> Example:
>
> `/tip user1 amount1`&#x20;

~~ℹ You can specify amount before tagging the user. And in a multi-tip, you can be free to specify amount wherever you want, as long as the amounts and users match.~~

> ~~Examples:~~
>
> ~~`/tip amount1 user1`~~

***Feature is coming later.***

### 🌐 Withdrawal

Need to withdraw to your PandaBank?

Use `/withdraw <address> <amount>`

Please double check your address before submitting, as we cannot undo that process.

ℹ You can provide the amount before the address.

> Example: `/withdraw amount address`

### ⁉ Troubleshooting

#### Changing account

Your pandacoins are tied to your @username or, if you have none, to your Telegram unique UserID. Please, be aware that if you change your @username, you lose access to your previously stored pandacoins.

In this case, you can:

1. With your new @username, ask the bot for a deposit address;
2. Switch to your old @username, withdraw your funds to your new deposit address;
3. Switch back to your new @username and check that your pandacoins have been correctly transfered.

#### Losing @username

Your pandacoins are tied to your @username if you have one. In case you change your @username, we advice to transfer your pandacoins. If you lose your @username to another user (in case you change it and some other user sets his @username to your old @username), he will have complete access to your previous account on PandaTip.

You may contact admins in case you can prove precedent ownership of the @username; in this particular case, admins will return the fund if and only if the new user accepts to give them back. Be warned.

#### Losing Telegram account

In case you delete your Telegram account and you've had a @username, you can create a new Telegram account with the *same* @username and have access to your funds. If another user takes over your @username, he will have full access to your account on PandaTip.

In case you delete your Telegram account and you've had no @username (which means that your PandaTip account was tied to your UserID), you lose access to that account with no possible recovery (unless you can *prove* ownership of the old UserID to the bot's admins).
