I wonder what happened to BitcoinPorn? He just disappeared.
i'll be active in #bitcoin-ir from now on if anyone need any help let me know.
There's #bitcoin-ar too, for Argentine people. Still not very crowded, but sometimes we have some action there.

#bitcoin-bra is now registered and with a stable and careful manager.
I've updated the IRC Channels article on the Bitcoin wiki:
- https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/IRC_channels#Local_communities
Thank you very much for the #bitcoin-ve IRC channel!
And that one too.
Thank you very much for the #bitcoin-ve IRC channel! I'll post the URL here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1331821 for others to know.

http://bitcoinx.com has also got hits from: saudi arabia, iraq, qatar, haiti, honduras, barbados, sri lanka, jamaica
To coin a phrase: "All economics are local." The merchants that I have talked to around here in Northern Podunk USA about bitcoins don't care about global issues per se. They want to know: wtf are bitcoins? Then, what are advantages to me to use them? Etc. Decentalizd = local, imo, is what I am saying. Legal and tax issues are "local". Seems like a good idea and no harm done to try it.
Interested in klingon 
Is there anyone that speaks Blissymbol (zbl), Brithenig (bzt), Quenya (qya), Sindarin (sjn), Glosa (igs), Ido (ido), Interlingua (ina), Klingon (tlh), Láadan (ldn), Lingua Franca Nova (lfn), Novial (nov), Occidental (ile) or Volapük (vol)?
Added Bitcoin in Lojban
Glancing at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_total_number_of_speakers perhaps I can evolve the list of channels into using ISO 639-3 language codes instead of the currently used ISO 3166 country codes.
I think that both list may be useful. Country list is useful for people looking for other people who shares the same financial tools (having bank accounts on the same country allows them to merchant easily). Language codes list may be useful for people just looking for information in some specific language.
How come there is no Zimbabwe? Countries with failed currencies seem like a no-brainer to me.
So you've decided the way to promote a global currency, possibly the first with true potential to break through traditional economic/ethnic divisions, is to divide everyone in little separate groups based on.. these same borders (mostly)? And you're going to do this using a medium (IRC) which is also global and communal by design, until will apply your scheme to it, then it becomes segmented and divided and just plain silly.
This will fail.
Time to step back and rethink. A project in country X will have many ideas and experiences useful to a project in country Y. Creating divisions along political borders just because... politic borders exist i guess? is not going to help bitcoin.
that'll be $0.02
Or maybe he did this so we can speak in our language? Sure, a lot of people know english but if you want to invite someone that doesn't know it well, having a channel with people of that nation is useful This will fail.

<^_^> foreigndearia: my thoughts are roughly: please let people organize it by themselves .. the most important advantage of Bitcoin is the fact that it's decentralized and people can do as they like, so please don't force people into a regional or language-based separation, but let them organize as they want
phedny, So, basically only account for the existing channels and do not take initiative (and relatedly stifly potential creativity) by continuing the patternistic naming scheme for other channels instead allowing other existences to take that opportunity themselves (and also potentially use creativity to allow for slight derivatives or alternatives? ^_^
<^_^> foreigndearia: almost.. but basically, just don't interfere with the process.. you may start your own channel and if people like it they'll join
<^_^> anyway, this channel is meant for Dutch speaking people, so I'd prefer this conversation to be continued in Dutch
<^_^> for international topics people that want to also are in other channels

It makes more sense to establish communities surrounding languages instead of regions, hence the desire to communicate in Dutch and not English.
