👾 The story begins

I’m MΞL•0107, but in the dev world people know me as MK•DEV.
My journey didn’t start in a fancy office or at a tech conference — it started in a small room lit only by the glow of a laptop screen at 2:47 AM. That was the night I built my first working app. It was ugly, slow, and completely pointless… but it worked. And in that moment, I knew — I am in.

Since then, my code has travelled further than I have. It’s running on servers I’ve never seen, on devices I’ll never touch, and in hands of people I’ll never meet.

👨‍💻 What I do now
I build things. Websites. Apps. Tools that save time. Ideas that push limits.
I love experimenting with new stacks, breaking things just to see how they work, and putting them back together in unexpected ways.

🚀 Why this channel exists
MK•DΞV is my open lab. Here I share:
— real projects from concept to deployment
— code snippets and tools I actually use
— experiments, failures, and lessons that make the next project better

You’ll see both the polished side of development and the messy one — because real progress lives in both.

⚡️ What’s next
I’m not here to just talk about coding. I’m here to show how one person with a laptop, an internet connection, and a stubborn idea can build something that matters.

If that sounds like your kind of journey — welcome aboard. This is only the beginning.

👾 Hey. I was quiet for a while. But not for long.

👨‍💻 Now I’m back, and yeah I have got really good news.

Some posts are gone. That was intentional.
During this time, I didn’t disappear, I took a step back and rethought a lot:
the company, the direction, the rules of the game.

— Sometimes progress doesn’t start with building.
— Sometimes it starts with letting go.

“Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.”

🤞2026 will be a year of change. Not small ones.
Real, structural changes.

🚀 I’m working on something much bigger
than anything I have done before.

No announcements. No teasers. Just work ⚡️
This channel isn’t a timeline anymore.
It’s a reset point 🔄

And yeah this is just beginning of MK • DΞV’s journey.

👨‍💻 We are building a digital marketplace with an escrow model.

🌐 Our focus is on security, scalability, and globalization.
No chaos. No gray areas.

The project is designed from the ground up for a global market,
with primary regions being Europe and CIS countries.
At the same time as developing the marketplace,
we will be testing individual features through Telegram bots.

MK • DΞV is set for significant growth this year.
And we’re not working only on a marketplace.
Automation is a core part of what we build.

Details later.
MK • DΞV.

🗺 I’ve built a roadmap for myself for this year.

It includes several new automated business projects 🤖
that I’m planning to launch throughout the year.

📆 The roadmap is split into 10 months.
🚀 Each month, I’ll be releasing a new project or business.

👀 I’ll be sharing the entire journey.
From building to launching and scaling.

Stay tuned.
MK • DΞV ⚡️

🚀 The first project opening the year of progress.

The first project opening this year of growth
is a Telegram based service for Steam account top-ups. 🎮

At the moment, the bot is in active development phase.⚙️
It will support two languages from the start:
🇷🇺 Russian
🇬🇧 English

At this stage, I’m also evaluating expanding the product scope
adding game key sales alongside Steam balance top-ups,
within a single unified system.🔑

This project serves as the foundation
for a broader ecosystem of automated services
planned for this year.

This is just the beginning.
Step by step, month by month.

More updates soon.

🤖 Using aiogram 3.x, with a modular architecture designed for scalability 📈

🛠 Current progress:
• Core architecture completed
• Bot deployed and running
• Steam top-up flow via FSM
• English UI support added
• Input validation & error handling

🔄 In progress:
• Steam Top-up API integration
• Card payments
• Crypto payments
• Database persistence
• Order status lifecycle

📊 In parallel, a dedicated admin panel is being designed,
giving full control over fees, stats, and users ⚙️

MK Steam is the first step
toward an ecosystem of automated services 🤖
planned for launch throughout the year 🗓

More updates soon 👀

📊 Quick update

We’re getting close to 3.000 subscribers on the channel.
This is an important indicator for me, that the direction and format resonate.

This growth is the result of consistent work, project development, and a transparent process that I share here.

Thank you to everyone who follows, stays engaged, and supports the journey forward.

More releases, scaling,
and hands-on work ahead.

🚀 MK Steam — Project Update.

At this stage, I’ve decided to expand the direction right away
and focus not only on services, but also on digital code sales 🎟

This includes gift cards and codes for major platforms and ecosystems such as:

• Apple Store
• Google Play
• Riot Games (RP / VP)
• Amazon
• Battle.net
• EA App / EA Gift Cards
• LoL
• PSN
• Nintendo
• Razer Gold
• Roblox
• Rockstar
• Xbox

It’s a strategical move:
— High demand
— Easy to automate
— Scalable by design
— Fits perfectly into the broader ecosystem

The goal is to build one unified, automated service
where digital products can be purchased
quickly, safely, and without manual friction 🤖

Right now, I’m evaluating suppliers and integrations.
Next comes implementation and testing.

Step by step.

🛠 MK Steam — Development Update.

I want to document the current stage of development
and what has already been implemented so far.

The project is not at the idea stage.
The bot is running, the infrastructure is live,
and the foundation has been built correctly.

What’s implemented:
— the Telegram bot is live and responding reliably
— the /start command and main menu are working
— partial localization is in place (RU / EN)
— the Steam Top-Up logic has been laid out
— integration with the CryptoBot API (invoice creation)
— the Order ID concept has been implemented
— PostgreSQL and Redis are connected
— a dedicated payment worker is running
— the (Steam Top-Up) API has been studied and prepared

The project is built with a modular architecture:
— UI and scenarios are separated from business logic
— payment logic is handled by a dedicated worker
— the infrastructure is deployed with Docker on a VPS

Currently in active development:
— a full FSM-based Steam top-up flow
— the complete pipeline: invoice → payment → worker → supplier → order update
— order statuses in the database
— language selection at startup
— final user notifications after payment

Important:
The current issues are logical and isolated
(handlers / FSM), not architectural or infrastructure-related.

The project is currently in the core logic / early beta stage.
This is already a solid working foundation, not a “quick prototype.”

Next steps:
Finalizing the flows and delivering the first full end-to-end pipeline.

🚀 Anti-Delete Message Logger in Python.
See what others tried to hide 😁

Ever been annoyed by seeing “Message deleted” before you had a chance to read it?
With a Python Userbot, you can create a personal archive that instantly saves all incoming messages to your Saved Messages.

📚 How does it work?
Unlike regular bots, a userbot works through your personal Telegram account.

The script intercepts messages the moment they arrive and creates a copy.
If the sender later taps “Delete for everyone”, the message disappears from the chat —
but the copy stays safely stored in your Saved Messages.

🔑 Getting Telegram API keys (step-by-step instruction):

1. Authorization: Go to the official website: https://my.telegram.org/
2. Login: Enter your phone number. You’ll receive a login code in Telegram — enter it on the website.
3. Create an application: Open “API development tools”.
4. Fill out the form:
• App title: Any name in English (e.g. MyLogger)
• Short name: A short identifier (e.g. log_bot)
⚠️ Do not use the word Telegram in the name — it will cause an error.
5. Result: After clicking Create application, you’ll see:
• api_id,
• api_hash,
Copy and save them.

🚀 How to run the script.
1. Install dependencies:

pip install pyrogram tgcrypto

2. Configure the script:
Insert your api_id and api_hash into the code below.

3. Run the script:
On first launch, enter your phone number and confirmation code in the terminal.

• Code:

from pyrogram import Client, filters

# Your credentials from my.telegram.org
API_ID = 1234567 # Replace with your api_id
API_HASH = "your_api_hash" # Replace with your api_hash

app = Client("my_logger", api_id=API_ID, api_hash=API_HASH)

# Log only private messages and ignore your own
@app.on_message(filters.private & ~filters.me)
async def log_deleted(client, message):
 name = message.from_user.first_name
 text = message.text if message.text else "[Media or file]"

 log = (
  f"🕵️‍♂️ **Message logged by MK DEV script**\n"
  f"👤 From: {name} (ID: `{message.from_user.id}`)\n"
  f"📝 Content: {text}"
 )

  # Send to Saved Messages
 await client.send_message("me", log)

if __name__ == "__main__":
 print("🚀 Logger started. All incoming messages are saved!")
 app.run()

Why this is useful:

🔒 Full privacy — logs are stored only in your Telegram
💸 Free — no subscriptions, just ~20 lines of code
🤖 Smart filtering — doesn’t log your own messages

⚠️ Important security note:

Never share:
• Your api_id,
• Your api_hash,
• The my_logger.session file.

Anyone with these has full access to your Telegram account.

Which Linux distro should you choose first? 🤔

• The easiest and most Windows-like option — Linux Mint (Cinnamon)
Works out of the box, stable, and nothing randomly breaks.

• The most popular and universal choice — Ubuntu
Any problem is easy to Google, and it has the largest ecosystem of drivers and software.

• If you have a laptop with NVIDIA or plan to use it for development/gaming — Pop!_OS
Great hardware support and developer-friendly setup.

DO NOT start with:
Arch, Gentoo, and other complex distributions.

Download Linux Mint — it’s the smoothest and least painful way to start with Linux.
