    rpc.Start()

    bot := deltachat.NewBotFromAccountManager(&deltachat.AccountManager{rpc})
    bot.OnNewMsg(func(msg *deltachat.Message) {
        snapshot, _ := msg.Snapshot()
        chat := deltachat.Chat{bot.Account, snapshot.ChatId}
        chat.SendText(snapshot.Text)
    })

    if !bot.IsConfigured() {
        log.Println("Bot not configured, configuring...")
        err := bot.Configure(os.Args[1], os.Args[2])
        if err != nil {
            log.Fatalln(err)
        }
    }

    addr, _ := bot.GetConfig("addr")
