Super complicated bot, but has a massive real world benefit
Post Body

So this is a bit of a complicated bot but stick with me.

The final product would be you can write a message to a bot and it donates some money to charity, ideally with a message to the charity of the username/comment that caused the donation to be made. As an example, Shitty_watercolour posts another genius watercolour, so a commenter writes CharityBot, donate €1 from Shitty_watercolour to charity

The bot sees this, then donates €1 to charity, and if there's a "What message would you like to put on your donation" field on the charity giving page, it puts something like "This donation was made possible by Shitty_watercolour for comment reddit.com/[link to comment]@

There's so many steps with this, here's what I've got already; Separate system that is linked to your Reddit account where your card details are saved System that can automate donating money to a charity How you pick the charity (should there be more than one?)

The "easy" part is writing a bot that reads through Reddit comments to look for this.

Best of luck, Being that this could end up donating so much money to charity, I'm willing to probably pay a sum of money in whatever currency you like. Just out of interest, Reddit made $60,000 last month from Gold contributions, image an extra $60,000 going to charity!
