Frank and Deane, I think that the page that Frank provided a link to [ https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/IRC ] is probably slightly overwhelming to people who are not regular users of IRC, which, these days is most people, since we have mostly migrated to SMS apps on cellphones.
First, choosing an IRC client can be overwhelming. My favorite is Pidgin, which runs on all three of the most common PC platforms, but Chatzilla and Mibbitt are also commonly used. Strangely, Pidgin is not listed except in the general section of the [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_Relay_Chat_clients] but there is a link to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pidgin_(software)] Historically, EFF, when they used to rate various messaging apps for security, they gave Pidgin high marks, but now they explain that messaging apps are very complex and they have so much potential for security gaps that they just don't rate them any more [ https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/03/secure-messaging-more-secure-mess] . Second, each client has it's own quirks which make them a little tricky for a newbie to set up and use. Fortunately, there is a lot of help available on the internet for most of the clients, and https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/IRC is a good start for that. Just plan on devoting some time to working through the learning curve. David Carlson On Wed, Aug 14, 2019 at 6:09 PM Frank H.
