I am confused still. Thank you for helping.. I have another question: do I use my steemit account here `r351574nc3/telegram-reply-steem-bot:latest`` instead of yours? and the whole command is run inside a conversation with botfather ?

Correct. You use your name.
When you run
/start <username> <wif>, that is the username/wif used when replies will be posted. It will post on your behalf.Thank you - I went through the process of naming a bot in botfather getting an API token - then I entered the docker command as you suggested. Went back to steem-replies did the
/start accountname wifand I have againWelcome mysteemitname!:-) Thanks but I will try now to delete my botfather bot because it is not working for me. And watch for an update
When you create a bot with botfather, you should have a name for your bot, you would not use
@steem-replies. You would use@yourbotnameYes i have a unique name there - the name i asked about was in the command
docker run --rm -e STEEM_NAME=$STEEM_NAME -e BOT_TOKEN=<token from the botfather> mysteemaccountname/telegram-reply-steem-bot:latesti used my steemit account nametrumanity`
You want to use
r351574nc3/telegram-reply-steem-bot:latest. In this caser351574nc3is the docker repo.Thank you my good friend. You are very helpful - but I am about to give up here.
You have such a good understanding of everything and I think so do many of your friends, but someone who has no idea and has never considered creating a bot before, would not understand anything.
If I may ask you - when you do any update - to start from the very beginning and assume that your readers have no idea about anything. I tried this because it seems very useful to have a bot where I can interact inside of telegram instead of being sent to a browser everytime. But it hasn't worked for me because I don't understand how to make a bot of my own.
That's valuable feedback. Thanks.
