Quick question: Was the IRC server down or have trouble yesterday? If so, what happened?

I had my first experience with JoinMarket yesterday morning. I decided to tumble some coins using the tumbler.py script. I started it and went to bed. When i woke up, the script was just trying to reconnect to the IRC server over and over getting a connection timed out error 110. I tried a lot of stuff but nothing worked. I could connect to the IRC server manually with HexChat but none of the scripts would. I checked again this morning and it's back up and running. I'm just curious what happened. I joined the #JoinMarket channel on FreeNode and saw 3 or 4 other people ask if the server was down but no one responded.

Thanks!

The IRC pit was down for 8 hours or so yesterday. Seems to be back up and working now.

There are some solutions being work on, such as this PR.
