Yes, because so many other bots have these types of common shortcut commands; SWARM Tech AI instead uses a prefix of /swarm_

·         swarm_enroll - Connect Bot to Telegram Group

·         swarm_start - Dsiplay main menu

·         swarm_help - List of commandline options

·         swarm_helpext - External website about SWARM Features

·         swarm_register - Signup to raid!

·         swarm_raidpay - Command to pay raiders after a raid is concluded

·         swarm_raid - Start a raid.  requires 5 arguments.  See helpext for details

·         swarm_raidcancel - stops a raid

·         swarm_updatewallet - Update your Solana Wallet

·         swarm_updatetwitter - Update your Twitter ID

·         swarm_stop - disable chat messaging

·         swarm_resume - enable chat messaging    

Doing this prevents other bots in the telegram channel from executing.

Is due to a feature called "Safeguard" on Telegram. Safeguard is a bot (@safeguard_bot) used to enhance security and manage group activities. It helps in moderating interactions, preventing spam, and improving overall safety within Telegram groups.  Other bots that have similar features is the Rose bot (@MissRose_bot)

When Safeguard is active in a group, it can impose temporary restrictions on users based on the group's security settings. This might include limiting the ability to send messages for a certain period, especially if the bot detects behavior that could be considered spammy or disruptive.

Conclusion

SWARM TechAI Raid bot does not include any rules that adjust/alter features in the telegram channel/group.  SWARM Tech AI only responds to chat_replies

Solution

Contact your telegram admin to adjust the permissions/rules and to run command like /unmute @username for either Safeguard or Rose bots

General Info

There are many factors that will cause the bot to freeze. Network/internet congestion, your ISP, telegram congestion. It is recommended to wait and try again. Check if SWARM Tech AI has a scheduled outage for maintenance/upgrade; we would post on our website the outage window.

During a raid/Post analysis of a raid/Grading of a raid

There are 4 areas where an outage may affect a raid

Raider's Network/ISP: When this occurs, it does not affect the raid. The raid continues and will process accordingly

Twitter Outage: Internally, SWARM Tech AI Raid bot has retry/recovery, if this fails, the raid must be restarted after twitter is back online

Telegram Outage: The raid is NOT affected, the telegram only displays status of the raid. No action is needed. The raid will continue

SWARM Infrastructure: SWARM Tech AI utilizes a top tier VPS/cloud provider that has been around since 1997. There are times when outages may occur. When this happens the SWARM Tech AI raid bot is offline. If the outage is scheduled, SWARM will post a notification on the website. If the outage is unscheduled, the raid must be restarted when infrastructure is back online.

A rule of thumb is a minimum 0.005 $SOL to cover Solana blockchain gas fee to cover payments to your raiders (per Solana documentation)

If you fall below 0.005 $SOL; your raiding team will be informed as to why they were not paid for raids on the telegram channel

As a service, SWARM Tech AI raid bot verifies if your raiders' wallet are valid. Meaning, each raid wallet must be rent-exempt (See 'What is rent-exemption and why is my wallet NOT exempt') to avoid the Mint Token creator from paying higher gas fees during successful raidings.

This is by design.  Only registered user in SWARM Tech AI raid bot with elevated privileges can start a raid.  These elevated privileges are based on the telegram channel’s administrators.  If you are an administrator; you have rights assigned to start a raid.

What is rent-exemption?

On the Solana blockchain, rent-exemption is a mechanism designed to ensure efficient use of storage resources. Here's a breakdown of how it works:

- Rent Requirement: Every account on Solana must maintain a minimum balance proportional to the amount of data it stores. This balance is required to cover the cost of storing data on the network.

- Rent-Exempt Threshold: If an account holds a balance above a certain threshold, it becomes rent-exempt, meaning it won't be charged rent. This threshold is calculated based on the size of the account data in byptes. Rent Refund: If an account is closed (i.e., removed from the network), the data is deleted, and the rent paid is refunded to the account owner.

- Purpose: The rent system encourages efficient use of storage by removing inactive accounts and compensates validators for the resources they provide

Why is my wallet not exempt?

If your wallet is created, but does not include any $SOL nor Mint Tokens, the Solana blockchain does not consider your wallet valid. To obtain rent-exemption make sure to add a small amount of $SOL and at least 1 Mint Token.

Conclusion

It is the responsibility of the raider to have a valid Solana wallet that is on the blockchain and is active. By not doing would normally cause the SPD/Meme Mint Token creator to pass higher gas fees above and beyond just air-dropping tokens gas fees, SWARM Tech AI Raid bot protects the token creator from paying these additional higher gas fees.
