This is a tutorial about creating a telegram bot that is used for the telegram-reply-bot for steem. This idea originally came as questions flooded in about how to setup the telegram reply bot. I want people to know how to use this project successfully, so I created this tutorial that is basically how to use it including setting up your telegram service.
