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!
