How to Build a Discord Bot

This document is written in response to the first question of request for Joystream's Bounty 13

Getting Started

Go to Discord's bot portal and create a new application, giving it an appropriate name.

Copy and save the Client ID and secret (where the 2 arrows are pointing at), making sure you keep the secret secret.

So far, what you have is a simple application.

You click on the Bot tab under settings to your left, and click on the "add a bot button".

This would take you to your bot homepage. You'll be given a token, which you should take note off and keep safe.

As an aside, never store any keys or tokens on GitHub, ESPECIALLY if the repo is public.

This is not part of my scope. It would be completed by whoever takes on step 2 of the bounty

This is also for whomever takes step three of the bounty.
