The bot should simply post all the reddit comments it makes to twitter, as a mirror there. Maybe you could have it respond to twitter mentions as well, but that's secondary.

Post to twitter on what? Reply to valid photos?
That should be rather easy - I see @powderblock has just assigned himself. I'll let him get on to it.
Having trouble authenticating Twitter API. Account requires a valid US non-SMS mobile number to post tweets from within the API. Used my legitimate number on my main account and it doesn't work through dorks spoofs or proxies. Even Burner didn't work. Not sure what I'll end up doing. I still want to do this Twitter implementation, but without write perms (requires phone number) can't post tweets. Might need to barrow a friends phone.
How are you doing this? Other people seem to be able to make many bots, so there should be some way to manage it. Have you associated it with a dev account?
There's a tutorial about doing it on Raspberry Pi that includes setting up API keys and things, perhaps this avoids the problems you're running into? http://www.instructables.com/id/Raspberry-Pi-Twitterbot/?ALLSTEPS
It might also simply be that the tutorial's old enough that the API rules have changed.
I have it associated with a dev account. Things changed recently. Seems like (from what I've spotted in tutorials from 2012 and 2013.) you used to be able to make a bot without a mobile phone. Now you need to add a phone number before adding read and write to an account.
"To activate a Twitter app, you'll need a mobile phone number tried to your account for verification. We can remove this later." How does this skip the step I am running into?
Hm. It looks like they just reuse the phone number, since they've "made 10 bots." I assume you already tried your own phone number though?
Yes. It refused it because it's tied to my main account.
I am going to remove my number from @powderblock and add it to the bot.
That worked. Let me test API key gen.
According to that guide, you can even remove the phone number once you have the API key, but that seems like something they might have tightened up.
Looks I need to delete and make the application again for Access tokens.
Got it working. https://twitter.com/DealWithItBot/status/529405468708331520
Does still work without phone!
