Bot ownership
ＳＵＰΞＲＭΛＮ 🎯
Hey,
I don't feel comfortable giving you the bot token just for verification, and I don't want to create a new token and replace it in my code.
Can I verify ownership by editing the bot's settings (like in a channel) - is this possible?
Otherwise, I cannot prove ownership and add faq and such.
thanks.

Hi,
I understand your concern. No, it's not possible for now but may be possible in the future.
Currently, the only way to overcome this concern is to create a new bot token and replace it in your code after verifying your ownership over your content on Telegramic.
The reason behind preferring token verification and avoiding changes on the content details was that it doesn't affect the visible portion of the content (e.g. the description field). We will follow the same mentality for other types of content too. A new update will soon make group and channel "owners" (not admins) able to verify their ownership without extra effort, so automatically.
Please note that our software only uses "getMe"* method (https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#getme) with the given token for the verification step and does not store that token.
Thanks.
