ZBD Bots – Bitcoin magic for communities - Send Bitcoin as easily as texting in Discord and Telegram

👋 Hi Product Hunters, I am André, CTO and co-founder of ZEBEDEE. This is our first time here, so a big shoutout to @ziggamon for hunting us 💜 The background story 💬 Communities are a huge part of gaming. Every gamer knows that’s where you find: ✅the best tips & tricks for playing games ✅like-minded people to chat and play with ✅get the latest updates about the game It’s all about the community 🎊 But not every community is a nice (read: active and non-toxic) place to hang out. So for us at ZEBEDEE, it felt natural to create a tool to help admins and mods level up their communities the best way we know how: with Bitcoin. The solution 💡 We decided to bring the beauty of Bitcoin to Discord and Telegram. Why? Because that’s where most active gamer communities live today. And because we’ve already seen how even tiny units of Bitcoin, called sats, have massive power to influence people’s behavior in a positive way, if used right. And also… because we could. With the help of a super simple interface and the Bitcoin Lightning Network, ZBD Bots are a showcase of how money should flow online. It’s all instant, free and happening right there where you’re already hanging out – in Discord or Telegram chats. 👉 What makes community admins excited about ZBD Bots: Completely free-to-use and simple to install & get started Super easy to run micro-competitions like meme posting challenges Instant micro-rewards with real value are tons better than just a thumbs up 👍 Here is an example of using a simple one-line command to “rain” some sats on the latest active users in the Discord channel. The amount of sats and the number of receivers are adjustable. Members instantly receive money even if they haven’t paired a wallet yet. Seems expensive to rain money on people? Not really, since 1000 sats is just over $0.2. But it’s the thought that counts! 👉 How community members love to use ZBD Bots: They tip each other for funny comments They send each other funds to play games together Instead of writing “gg”, because it’s the same but has tons more value This is an example of one member sending another a small tip to continue playing CS:GO on ZBD Infuse. With the intuitive one-line command “send”, another player instantly receives a tip through the Lighting Network with zero fees. When we launched ZBD Bots, our community admins just kept on smiling for months. To be able to send real-value rewards without ever leaving the chat, at any time, anywhere and with zero fees… 🤯 It’s a game-changer for community management. And more fun! If you want to see ZBD Bots in live action, you can try them for yourself or join our Discord or Telegram channels 🤖 I’m interested to hear your thoughts and feedback 🙏 I’d really appreciate it for our future PH listings, which are coming soon!

Amazing, we are live! 🎉 I am very proud to be part of this project, and I'd like to congratulate the team on such a neat product and incredible campaign 👏 The Lightning Network gives us unlimited possibilities to simplify online payments in gaming and all corners of the world. ZBD Bots are a great example of a goal we're aiming to achieve. The most beautiful thing is to see them in action! Here is just another badass example of how easy it is to send Bitcoin to another Lightning address. We say it's as easy as sending a text message: All things in life should be that simple! Especially those that are usually hard. Because, let’s face it, gamers on Discord servers aren’t always nice. And asking them to behave doesn’t really work, but incentivizing positive engagement with a few sats sure does!

Great job guys 🙌 You really outdid yourselves polishing up the product and this campaign! I'm sure other Product Hunters will also recognize ZBD Bots as an essential tool they need for a simplified life 😂 As a game developer, the community always comes to mind when I'm about to launch a new game. I’m always concerned about getting those first loyal users and how to connect with players and get their feedback… Discord has always been my go-to answer, but it wasn’t always easy to get people to help me out. With ZBD Bots, it’s super easy 💪 You may say I am a bit subjective as I'm a co-founder of ZEBEDEE, but if you install ZBD Bots, you'll see how your engagement grows and how the community work becomes enjoyable. Let the Bots speak for themselves 🤖 beep boop beep 🤖

Been using this in the ZEBEDEE Discord, really great tool!

This Bot shows how easy and fast it is to send Bitcoin via lightning network. Love to use those commands in Discord!

Have been using ZBD over the past months and it has become a valuable tool with our community engagement. Perfect for giving your community the tools to engage with each other. Give them the possibility to support their favorite community at any size, while the community itself gets the perfect tool to give back to their users. Even if its just the daily /rain or a small thank you for a bug report! Simple, easy and a must for a great community relationship. 😎

Tested and approved, maybe many people are not realizing it, but Zebedee is changing the way the world can make payments with Bitcoin through the Lightning Network.

Awesome!

Magnificent! It's so beautifully simple and useful that it feels like a functionality that should have existed years and years ago. Not to mention, while it looks great and easy on the eyes, once you go and test this product for yourself, it's a whole 'nother level of ⚡️WOW⚡️

Loving ZBD. It's such a user-friendly medium with eager communities to help out with a smooth transition to nanotransactions. Pretty innovative! I'd recommend this wallet (and gamified medium) again and again.
