BTC/Crypto Telegram Users (Updated for 2025) Exactly how to send a new message to your private channel.

Question: Do you have any private Telegram channels? They can be really useful for notes and or files since the storage space is unlimited.

Hello All, I did this several years ago and the complete, correct, updated info was much easier to find:

1) Add the simple bot you need to create to your private channel as an admin.
2) Use the command code below on either Linux or Windows! >> Change the chatID and bot token (simply replace the red parts below)
3) Compared to many other current guides* this DOES work.  Smiley   

 // Notes: *when I did this ~5 years ago, there was less steps, I don't remember needing to add the bot as a channel admin. If searching on google mention "private" channel or be prepared to waste time.     


Also for Newbies: Everything else you need to know (i.e. How to create a bot) is very easy to find, the code below is exactly what is currently needed for the last step.

curl -s -o /dev/null -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"chat_id\": \"-100xxxx!!leave the dash and ADD The 100 to chat id!!\", \"text\": \"test_message\", \"disable_notification\": false}" https://api.telegram.org/bot{YoUrBOT:ApiTokenAGHKEHELLO}/sendMessage


Do you have any private Telegram channels? I use mine pretty often.
