#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.
##Developing the Bot##
This is not part of my scope. It would be completed by whoever takes on step 2 of the bounty
##Deploying the Bot## This is also for whomever takes step three of the bounty.
