Yes indeed. It was simple little exchanges like that that led me to build Open Transactions API calls in tcl into one of my tcl-based "eggdrop" IRC bots. I figured since I already have bots able to exchange between bitcoin-like currencies I might as well also put Open Transactions into the same type of bots.

Also I might not be the only person who has problems with the idea or practice of running self-compiled and/or financial daemons on third party servers, so figured I might not be the only person who might find IRC to have certain virtues.

(If we want to be by the people for the people having it easy to run stuff from home seems not too bad an idea in some respects.)
