Topic: Do Bitcoin enthusiasts use IRC? and why? - page 2. (Read 1517 times)
yes
I used to be involved with IRC a very long time ago for many years and even ran a hosting company that offered primarily BNC & IRCd accounts. It did well for a while but I ended up shutting it down because business slowed and I really thought IRC would be dying off with the popularity of forums, online chats, facebook, etc. By the time I said goodbye to IRC, it was pretty much just a lot of botnets, illegal operations & script kiddies. However, I have frequently seen people posting conversations from IRC here and posting screenshots of IRC chats.
So, I guess my question is: Do the 'real' conversations amongst bitcoin enthusiasts happen on IRC and this forum is just a mouthpiece or PR forum for the "mainstream bitcoin users". If so, what network does everyone use - or should I assume freenode?
