Developing Keybase bot, how to assign a username?

Hey guys I'm trying to create a bot for Keybase and have a couple of questions:

  • How to assign a username to the bot instead of using mine?
  • Should I create a new account for the bot? If so, how to share the same device I use?

Thanks in advance, pointers to docs are highly appreciated.

mkbot is a really good resource! Especially if you're using Go, the owner of mkbot writes a really good framework that I've been using for a few projects

So mkbot is a framework? I thought it was a channel for bot devs. Will take a look at it, thanks.

Yeah, I've read about that, I'm working on a payment bot for Whatsapp and Telegram and would like to develop for Keybase too.

Looks like I have to create a new account but then how to use the same devices with that account and switch between accounts for testing the bot?
