We are developing new features now.

3.[IRC chat] This function will be used to synchronize the nodes.(Detailed information is confidential)
...
Today we did some tests, these functions can be achieved
VERSION 1121?Qt wallets make use of irc chat to get nodes for ages, this method is old and outdated and well known.
Also there might be some safety risks.
Your remark "Detailed information is confidential" does not make sense, sounds a bit like a bad joke.
The code is very likely already in VPN, since every qt wallet is a clone of BTC with added features.
VPN is no exception, but has a lot to offer, don't screw up there guys.
You better have a look at some well known p2p filesharing apps for that, just to mention one DHT.
Well known and proven technology.
And here is the log file of current VPN and as you all can see its indeed already in the code and has been since day one :

Here are the options in config file that controls these :
irc=1
dnsseed=1
Dnsseed is an alternative method for getting peers.
Normally I use :
irc=0
dnsseed=0
Since most qt wallets works just fine without these enabled.
In general, options/functions you do not need try to disable, this is true for any apps or os.
