To set up a Telegram bot connected to your node:

WARNING: the Telegram Bot will send encrypted messages about the events on your node over clearnet, which are decrypted by the central Telegram Bot API

To avoid leaking your public IP to Telegram use torify before the bos telegram command to route communication through Tor:
torify bos telegram related issue: alexbosworth/balanceofsatoshis#54

• Got to t.me/BotFather
  /newbot

• Copy the API key

• in the terminal (in tmux if want to keep running):
  torify bos telegram

• paste the API key to the terminal

• In your new TG bot:
  /connect

• paste the connection code to the terminal for bos.
