Hi all. I tried to write an analogue of explorer.nymtech for telegram. I wrote it for myself, but decided to post it. I will be glad to criticism and cooperation. I would like to know if the rest of the community needs it. I have no idea how it will behave under load, but I tried to write for multi-users. The bot uses api explorer.nymtech which it could reach. Update every five minutes.
the bot can show:
- basic mixnode parameters
- installed and current version of the mixnode
- Is the node blacklisted
- add and remove monitoring mixnodes
- as well as the appearance of a new delegator and the departure of the delegator from the node
- dead nodes should not be added
You can try it here Telegram: Contact @nym_mixnode_monitor_bot
