statusd-bots

This is an alternative project to status-im/status-go-bots. The goal is to explore another possibility of creating bots that are self-contained Whisper nodes and do not require a Whisper node running aside.

Setup

Project dependencies are managed with dep. Please install it first.

In order to install all dependencies, execute:

$ make dependencies

This project uses github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum as a dependency but its source is changed to Status' fork status-im/go-ethereum which include patches required by another dependency github.com/status-im/status-go.

Cross-compilation

Cross-compilation is not provided, unforunately. Although, go-ethereum provides non-CGO support, it's not recommended.
