📰 Gift Crafting and Its Details.🎁 Telegram is preparing to introduce gift crafting on the test server. This explains the introduction of a second cake emoji pack, which is being tested. A similar feature exists in Counter-Strike 2, where several items can be crafted into one. In Telegram, four gifts can be crafted into one. 🪚 During the generation process, backgrounds and patterns with the lowest % differences are selected from the selected gifts; more precisely, the rarest attributes are selected. The gift models are unclear: either the crafting process will result in a more valuable artifact, or the art team will create special "hybrid" models. 🤷 It has not been confirmed whether the gifts used for crafting will be hidden after this process and accessible only via a direct link, which will hide the last owner of the item, and will be visible only to you. ⚠️ Please note that this is all speculation from the source who published this, and advised you and yourself not to try to guess. It's better to wait until later, at least until the next beta. The source's admin, desys, gave an interview to the channel "Дарни вещает" about these gifts. — What do you think of the Durovs' strategy regarding gifts? Like auctions, for example, or the much-talked-about crafting? — Personally, I'm not particularly interested in gifts, nor in crypto. But the crafting feature will probably save gifts, because the gifts used for crafting expire, reducing the current supply. The auction system is so-so, because after the release of such gifts, people suffer losses and sell them below cost. Test server timeline: - A second pack of cake emojis has appeared. - New models have appeared with 0% rarity. - Some developers are buying up gifts, including those with identical background colors. - The owners of "crafted" gifts were hidden, then they returned. - Three gifts — this was before, and once, instead of four gifts (studied by madrik).

📰 Security researcher GangExposed RU reported on Twitter that Telegram doesn't warn users about the potential IP address disclosure when clicking a proxy connection link. 🛡 Telegram typically warns users with a pop-up when clicking on a third-party website, but in the case of a proxy, Telegram immediately connects to the proxy to check its ping (data transfer latency). According to a source at @tginfo, this issue only affects mobile clients. The source also confirms, after checking for themselves, that desktop versions and the X version don't automatically connect to the proxy. 👁 IP addresses are typically only revealed by the user's city, but for many, this is dynamic. For those who really need to hide their IP address, use a VPN.

#tip: 📰 Changing the color of the folder sidebar. 🐈‍⬛ By default, even in the #TDesktop light theme, the sidebar where your chat folders are located is distinctively dark. To change this, go to Settings > Chat Settings > three dots, and be prepared to create a separate theme just for this. Search for "sideBar" to see all the palettes that affect the folder sidebar. 🎨 We're most interested in sideBarBg, sideBarBgActive, and sideBarBgRipple, which control the primary color of the unselected, selected, and currently clicked folders, respectively. The rest are up to your taste. Experiment.

📰 The @askplex bot has been unsupported since December 24th. When I emailed [email protected] to investigate, Sam, one of the support agents, informed you that the AI ​​had ceased support. This was before the release of the "streaming response generation"…

1. The @askplex bot has been down for two days now: it doesn't respond to any commands or requests.

📰The problem with "paid channels". When I first subscribed to a paid channel in 2024, paying for stars to access the channel, I also joined a linked group to read the comments on the posts. After a month, like the average Telegram user, I ran out of 50 stars for monthly access to the channel. However, I stayed in the group that served to access the comments in paid posts. Here I realized that since these chats are linked, I could freely access the channel without paying for stars, and that I could then re-join the same channel. Now #tips for content creators: Anyone who wants to engage in paid channels should definitely not enable comments, or more precisely, not link discussion groups. Otherwise, subscribers won't pay for access to the channel a second time. Also, don't forget to enable protection against copying/reposts/screenshots (there's no 100% protection). This way, you'll make the channel on par with Patreon pages. I also created this card so that developers can see this problem. https://t.me/bugs?startapp=c-50317
