BridgeBotNext

This is a new version of MeBridgeBot, rewritten in C#

Make a bridge between VK and Telegram conversations!

Add @MeBridgeBot to your conversations in Telegram and VK, allow them to read your messages (in VK you should make it in conversation settings, you must be Administrator to do this)

To connect chats, enter /token command in first chat to get a special command with secret key. Enter this special command in another chat (it looks like /connect $mbb2$1!9d8xxxxx00ca) and your chats are connected now!
