Ok, i downloaded the windows wallet from here, started it up and after that i checked the debug.log file.
I have one simple question... WHY DOES THE WALLET CONNECTING ME TO IRC?

I redacted my personal information in the log, but it shows my mac address and my IP address, also i can see many user addresses there.

Essentially it's used as a form of peer matching currently. Haven't gotten around to DNS seeding quite yet. I'll forgo this connection in the next update.
