The population of Cuba is protesting against the current government, as well as against the entire communist system.

Cuba has blocked access to Telegram, as well as to other messengers and social networks. Instagram Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram were also shut down by the Cuban authorities in addition to Telegram.

2021-06-29 11:24:06 Telegram channels donations

A tool appeared in Telegram to help users in encouraging channel admins.

The verified @donate bot uses Payments 2.0. To receive donations, the channel admin has to add the bot as a channel admin with rights to delete posts. After that, you have to send a special command, which triggers the bot to create a donation button for you.

A channel you're trying to link has to have move than 1,000 subscribers, has to be public, has to be created more than 3 months ago, and has to belong to "Entertainment" or "Education" categories. The channel owner has to pass verification by scanning own face in the service.

Fees for accepting and withdrawing the funds are higher than 5% right now, but expected to be lowered in future. Despite the fact the bot looks like a native monetization solution from the Telegram team, this is actually a third-party service delivered by smart-glocal.com.

You can try donations by yourself using the button above. Open / Comment
