VIP-bot: how to add more value to your SLP tokens

Are you an SLP token issuer? Give the holders of your tokens additional reason to hold them - an exclusive platform to talk to you and each other. You as an issuer will get a valuable, high signal, low noise direct channel with your token's community. How to set up the bot for your token and telegram group: make a telegram account for your bot. Create the telegram group and add the bot as admin. https://core.telegram.org/bots#3-how-do-i-create-a-bot make a free account on https://heroku.com/, deploy the bot code from https://github.com/tulasacra/vip-bot make a free account on https://www.mongodb.com/ (MongoDB Atlas) configure the bot on https://dashboard.heroku.com/ (Settings > Config Vars) to connect it to the telegram account, mongodb account and to your SLP token. The config keys are: BOTTELEGRAMTOKEN *(obtained in step 1)* CHATID *(obtained in step 1, has a format of -XXXXXXXXX)* DB_dev *(obtained in step 3, has a format of mongodb+srv://XXX:YYY@ZZZ.mongodb.net/QQQ?retryWrites=true&w=majority)* TOKEN_ID *(your SLP token ID. If left empty then the base BCH coins are considered for the merit calculation.)* MERIT_THRESHOLD *(the minimum merit to be allowed to write messages in the VIP group)* MERIT_AGE *(value of 1 means 'merit = amount*days', value of 0 means 'merit=amount')* if you don't have a paid heroku account, then add you credit card to https://dashboard.heroku.com/account/billing (it won't be charged) and use http://kaffeine.herokuapp.com/ to prevent the bot from sleeping, so everything runs for free non-stop. If you want to try it, the demo group is running at https://t.me/shrimp_club_bch (0.1 BCH merit threshold). This bot is based on the work of https://psfoundation.cash/.
