RainBorg is a bot that takes in community donations and spreads them out over time to active users on Discord.
This bot requires TrtlBotSharp to function.
This bot will keep a list of active users on a given set of Discord channels, and split a given amount between those users after a given period of time, with a given chance to tip all channels every so often, and users will be timed out after a given period of time. Confusing? Let me break that down.
Say you have two channels that you want to tip on, and for simplicity sake, say they are channel id 1 and channel id 2. Say you want one of these channels to be tipped twice as often as the other - you would want to set channel 1 to have a weight of one, and channel two to have a weight of two - therefore, channel 2 is twice as likely to be tipped on as channel 1.
When setting up the bot, you are able to supply a tip minimum and a tip maximum. When tipping, the bot will check that its balance falls inside of, or above this given range. If the balance is higher than this amount, it will tip the maximum tip amount - this is to prevent it from tipping out its full balance to a select number of users. The tip minimum is the lowest amount it will tip, any lower and it will wait until its balance is at least this amount. As an example, imagine a bot with a tip minimum of 10 coins, and a tip maximum of 20 coins. If this hypothetical bot had 5 coins in its balance, it would not tip and would wait until it has at least 10 coins, then it would split 10 coins between all active users. If this bot has 15 coins, it would split those 15 coins between those users. If this bot had 30 coins however, since the tip maximum is 20, it would split 20 coins between those users, with 10 being left in its balance for the next tip.
The next setting of note would be the wait minimum and wait maximum. These values specify the range of time (in seconds) that the bot will wait between trying to tip. For example, if the wait minimum was set to 300 seconds (5 minutes) and the wait maximum was set to 600 seconds (10 minutes), it would randomize a time between these two values and wait that long before tipping users, so it will be a random time between 5 and 10 minutes between tips.
Along with wait time, other time-specific values the bot uses are the user timeout period and account age. The user timeout time is how long (in seconds) the bot will wait since their last message to remove them from the next tip on that channel. For example, if there were two channels the bot was tipping on (channel 1 and channel 2), and a user was chatting on both, with user timeout set to 5 minutes, if they were active on channel 1 within the last 5 minutes they will be on that channel's active user list, but if their last message on channel 2 was 8 minutes ago, they will have been timed out, and removed from channel 2's active user list. Account age on the other hand is measured in hours, and is the amount of time a user's Discord account must have existed for before being eligible for tips. This is to prevent people from making a lot of new accounts to get more coins from the bot.
Another setting of note is the mega tip percentage. This is how frequent a "megatip" naturally occurs. A megatip tips all active users on all tippable channels a specified amount. For example, say the megatip percentage is at 1%, this means that 1% of all tips the bot does will be megatips. Imagine the megatip amount is set to 1000, and the bot is tipping on two channels (channel 1 and channel 2). Imagine there are 6 active users on channel 1 and 4 active on channel 2. If a megatip is called, then each active user on both channels will receive 100 coins each, as 6 + 4 is a total of 10 active users. Of note though is that if a user is active on channel 1 AND channel 2, then they will be tipped on BOTH channels, as they are seen as separate users on each channel - this is to encourage spreading out user activity to multiple channels.
An additonal setting of note is the status channel list. These channels are optional and simply are where the bot will say when it tips, how many users were tipped, how much was tipped, and how much each user received.
Lastly, whenever a tip is sent out, all relevant information (amount, date and time, recipient ID) are all logged into a stats database for future reference.
To begin setting up the RainBorg on your discord server, you must already have permission to add bots to your server. You must also already have a TrtlBotSharp tip bot running on your server.
Next, head to Discord's developer page and create an application. Name it something unique, then click Bots on the left side. After that, click Add Bot, change the username to whatever you'd like your bot to be called. Click to reveal the bot token, and keep this value on hand. Do NOT share this token with anyone.
From here, you will want to compile the bot, then create a Config.conf file in its running directory and edit it to suit, namely setting the botToken to the value you copied in the previous step. (Optionally, you can run the bot once without the config file, it will crash, but it will make the file for you, which you can then edit.) See Config Breakdown below to see what each config value means.
Once the bot can be run without crashing, you'll want to enter addoperator 0 in the console window, replacing 0 with your user ID. (To get this ID, enable developer mode in your discord settings then right click your icon in Discord and click Copy ID.) This will add you as an operator, and you can then use operator commands.
From there, you must register a wallet with the tip bot using the registerwallet command. You can optionally also run a redirecttips function to have any funds tipped to directly to the RainBorg automatically go to its balance. Both of these functions must be run on a channel that both bots exist on, as Discord bots are unable to DM each other. To do this, go to a channel that both bots can see and type $say .registerwallet address, replacing the bot prefixes with the proper symbol, and address with your wallet's address. To redirect tips back to your bot's tip fund, you would use $say .redirecttips.
After that is all set up, you can start using operator commands to configure your bot further, see the documentation in the RainBorg Wiki.

What message is sent to users when you $warn them.
"entranceMessage": "",
If this is not blank, whenever the bot is launched or comes online, this message will be displayed on all tipping channels.
"localTipBot": false,
If this is set to true, it means you are hosting the tip bot on the same machine as the RainBorg, and it will read balance directly from the tip bot's database file, so an endpoint is not needed, and the balanceUrl setting is ignored.
"tipBotDatabaseFile": "users.db",
If the localTipBot setting is set to true, the balance will be read from this database file. This file must match the database file your tip bot is using, and is separate from the databaseFile setting.

This is a list of images that will be embedded in status messages when a successful tip is made. The image chosen is randomized between these values.
"donationImages": [ "https://i.imgur.com/SZgzfAC.png" ]
This is a list of images that will be embedded in status messages when the bot's balance is insufficient to tip. In this case, since tipMin is set to 10, if the balance was 5, one of these images would be posted to all status channels along with a message saying that the bot has insufficient funds.
