What does twitter posts have to do with solana and coins?

Sounds like two completely different projects.

[peak pine]

twitter bot keep track of the accout of a peorson i give the username of as these peple launches there own token time to time and drop a specific of there coin

[soft cedar]

if ur new im going to end it all 😢

[peak pine]

using which we can buy it

[soft cedar]

how long u been coding for

[peak pine]

not that much just knows the basic

[soft cedar]

like days weeks

i been for 6 days

[weary shadow]

A few things... using GPT to generate the code is going to lead you to a lot of frustration: you're trying to do something moderately difficult, and GPT will lead you to a dark hole and abandon you.

[soft cedar]

wait he uses chat gpt

oh i see it now

..

😂

[weary shadow]

Twitter's APIs are going to be a problem, there's some limits, but the docs are https://docs.x.com/x-api/getting-started/important-resources

[fossil nacelle]

bro he's learning, is it the recommended way, no, but still don't need to be so rude

[soft cedar]

? omgg what

https://tenor.com/view/byuntear-lobo-lobisomem-werewolf-lobisomem-pidao-gif-15820248166751002117

not this again

[weary shadow]

Sorry, I had to delete that message. You pasted your API keys

[weary shadow]

Hey, don't jump in someones help thread and drop memes and stuff. Let them ask their questions and get answers.

[peak pine]

thats no issue i can dump these keys

[soft cedar]

not even gonna say anything else but alright ✅

ik how this goe

goes

[peak pine]

brother did you get what i am trying to do with the code ?

or else i can explain it again

[weary shadow]

Didn't even look, I saw the API keys and deleted.

[fossil nacelle]

@peak pine Could you repost your question w/out the API keys?

your code rather

[peak pine]

ohk

no issue

should i drop the code in this chat or make a new ?

@weary shadow

[weary shadow]

You can drop it in this chat, just without api keys

[fossil nacelle]

!paste

[haughty dew]

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the Paste! button in the bottom left, or by pressing CTRL + S. After doing that, you will be navigated to the new paste's page. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[fossil nacelle]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/UVAA

just easier to read here

[fossil nacelle]

So which parts are working, and which parts arent?

[peak pine]

i actually can't figure out i have stuck in a loop of errors and trying to solve them by asking chat gpt and gating a completlly new error

[fossil nacelle]

Could you send the errors

[peak pine]

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\y29ga\memebot3\meme2.py", line 12, in <module>
from solana.transaction import Transaction
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'solana.transaction'

[fossil nacelle]

And while that other person was being rude for no reason, in my experience if chatgpt cannot solve an error after like 1 or 2 iterations it likely wont be able to figure it out

[peak pine]

this is the last error it is showing

[soft cedar]

✅

[peak pine]

oh thanks brother i am really new i just did basic things while i was learing from a cource on youtube

[fossil nacelle]

Just looking at the solana docs and github I don't see solana.transaction anywhere, so there's a chance that doesn't really exist

[peak pine]

ohh

so chat gpt did this much big mistake

[fossil nacelle]

actually I just found a reference to it on stackoverflow

[peak pine]

oh great

do you need any other info i can share ?

[soft cedar]

and btw only reason i said that is bc i used chat gpt in the past and its addictive but not worth it

[fossil nacelle]

Maybe in a bit, I'm just reading through the docs

[peak pine]

ok

[fossil nacelle]

The solana-py github has a branch called "deprecate-transaction" so sounds like it's a deprecated feature

[peak pine]

so what does that mean ?

[fossil nacelle]

solana.transaction isn't supported/doesn't exist anymore

let me see what the alternative is now

[peak pine]

ok

[fossil nacelle]

actually

[weary shadow]

I wouldn't use any of this code, tbh

[fossil nacelle]

It doesn't seem like it's even using Transaction

[weary shadow]

I'd start fresh from current solana docs, use their examples, if you're actually going to trade real $$

[fossil nacelle]

That is a fair point lol

[peak pine]

can you guys do that ?

[fossil nacelle]

@peak pine you have some basic experience coding, correct?

[peak pine]

means help with that

i would say very basic

[weary shadow]

What I'm saying is: What you're trying to do is not something you should do, not if you don't know how the code works /etc.

Otherwise, you're entirely likely to throw money out the window.

[fossil nacelle]

Is there a testing network you can use?

in other words that doesn't use real money

[peak pine]

yes chat gpt told me about that

wait i will get it

[fossil nacelle]

I got to go soon so I can't help for much longer, but break your problem into mini problems, don't try to solve it all at once. I.e. monitoring tweets and purchasing

[peak pine]

Solana Testnet

[fossil nacelle]

How important is it to buy it instantaneously?

[peak pine]

so i should first foccus of one aspect of the bot ?

[peak pine]

very

because its the game of seconds

[fossil nacelle]

Alright

[peak pine]

and brother from where can i start learing python online any cource you reccamend ?

[fossil nacelle]

Resources

The Resources page on our website contains a list of hand-selected learning resources that we regularly recommend to both beginners and experts.

[fossil nacelle]

Ok so here's what I'm thinking
1.) If you have real money linked up to this, make sure you have low limits of money set while testing, and keep those limits even when you finish the project, just maybe set them higher. Do not allow it to spend more money then you're comfortable losing
2.) Figure out how to use the solana test network, until you're confident it will work, you do not want to be spending real money
3.) When you make a purchase try to log information about what led to the purchase, when something goes wrong you don't want to be poking around in the dark trying to figure out where it went wrong, you want to be able to locate the issue.
4.) Break this problem into multiple problems, monitoring the tweets is completely different then making purchases, there's no reason they should be intertwined.

And also one more
5.) Remember if you can make money off this, other people will be trying to make money off this. I hope this doesn't come off as rude, but 6 days of coding is very little, when making money is in the mix, people with years more coding experience will throw all they have at it. Expecting to have something extremely profitable is setting yourself up to be disappointed.

And actually one more thing:
When you use APIs such as twitters API, there's almost always limits, whether a hard limit which is impossible to get around, or softer limits which you can get around, but for a cost

[peak pine]

it actually used a third party method insted of twitter api

[fossil nacelle]

Still you'll likely hit a limit of some sort, such as a http 429

[peak pine]

ohk ohk

[fossil nacelle]

And that leaves another thing then, those other methods could stop working, make sure if it's not able to get data it doesn't do anything weird.

[peak pine]

ok

do have knowledge to make this bot completely?

[fossil nacelle]

?

[peak pine]

or have i catched a tail of dog which is even out of your knowledge

[peak pine]

just asking

[fossil nacelle]

Do I have knowledge to make this bot completely?

[peak pine]

means what do you think can you make this bot if you make it from start ?

[fossil nacelle]

I think I could figure it out, but I'd have to do research on Solana, and twitter APIs

[peak pine]

ohk

do you have spare time to work on it ?

[fossil nacelle]

Not really, sorry. I'm juggling a bunch of projects along with school and college applications 😭

[peak pine]

ohh no problem

but if you or someone you know has time and want to work on it pls do

it will be a great help

[fossil nacelle]

Do you want to know how to code in python? If so this is honestly an okay starting point once you go through the basics/intermediate parts of it

[peak pine]

yes i want to know how to code in python

[fossil nacelle]

Not really sorry, only person I would know is currently working on a bunch of projects too

[peak pine]

ohk bro no issues

[fossil nacelle]

Then go through and try to learn it, as far as coding languages go, python is one of the easiest to learn, and very versatile.

[peak pine]

Ohk bro

[fossil nacelle]

If you spent like 2-3 hours a day, within a few weeks you can likely make this project.

[peak pine]

Is course on udmy good ?

[fossil nacelle]

I'm honestly not sure, I taught myself through a lot of googling and youtube videos, but I wouldn't recommend that method at all.

Resources

The Resources page on our website contains a list of hand-selected learning resources that we regularly recommend to both beginners and experts.

[peak pine]

Ohk

If you want i have an website which has all the paid cources for free

[fossil nacelle]

I'm gonna be honest I'm not completely sure how good those resources are, but that's what most people on here recommend, and I know a few people who have learned through them, so it's definitely not a bad place to start.

[fossil nacelle]

I believe all of these are free, not sure though

Or rather these are:
https://www.pythondiscord.com/resources/?payment-tiers=free

[peak pine]

No this are just links to the websites

[fossil nacelle]

Yeah, all of which are different things to learn

[peak pine]

yes

[fossil nacelle]

start off with the automate the boring stuff one, that's what I've seen people do

[peak pine]

ok

[fossil nacelle]

The most important thing is, no matter the resource you use you're going to struggle at times, don't just skip ahead, make sure you learn whatever it is.

[peak pine]

ohk

do you think i can find anyone who can make this project on this group

[fossil nacelle]

There's certainly a bunch of people that can, but it might be challenging to find someone who can and has the time to do it.

[peak pine]

ohk ohk

[fossil nacelle]

Also if I had time, I still would feel weird about making a project like this for someone, it's risking someone else's money

and if you find someone willing to you need to make sure they know what they're doing and aren't going to make naive mistakes which can cost you money

[peak pine]

but we can test it in the test metwork

first

[peak pine]

ohk got it

bro where are you from

you are a nice guy

[fossil nacelle]

New York, US

[peak pine]

ohh nice

[fossil nacelle]

you?

[peak pine]

india

you in college?

[fossil nacelle]

I remember struggling when I was learning so try to pay it back lol

[peak pine]

nice

[fossil nacelle]

Not yet, senior year of high school

[peak pine]

whats you age bro

[fossil nacelle]

17

[peak pine]

oh same age

lol

[fossil nacelle]

18 in 2 days

[peak pine]

me in 5 months

[fossil nacelle]

ay

its funny 18 is when you're considered an adult in the US, but like nothing changes except like more responsibilities 😄

Not sure how much changes in India

[peak pine]

yes same here

same

[fossil nacelle]

Yeah not as amazing as it sounded when I was 12 lol

[peak pine]

nothing changes just you get license lol

[peak pine]

yeah

[fossil nacelle]

Ah I was able to get my license last year

Anyways, I got to go for a bit, if you have any questions make one of these channels or if you want go ahead and DM me, I enjoy helping people

[peak pine]

ok no problem bro

and thankx again for the help

[peak pine]

thankx bro

[fossil nacelle]

But I would definetly recommend learning Python, as I said it's really versatile and relatively easy to learn, I figured out the basics when I was like 12

Ofc

[peak pine]

bro i will definitely learn python i really enjoy it but due to schooling and all i did not din for quit a time

and i was gonna start from this month

but needed this bot so used chat gpt
