Question for everyone.
I am going to be making a choice about IRC. There are 2 options that I see.
#1 Remove it completely from the code. It is already disabled and will only use IRC if the users forces it with -irc=1.
#2 Or we can also keep it in there and I can add to it, so it will connect to a IRC channel and allow users to chat with each other. The wallet will not use it to look for peers though.
Do we remove and forget about IRC, or keep it and expand it's usage?
My personal opinion is to lose it. As I don't think the wallet needs the extra bloat(code wise) and it could open up an additional security concerns.
However it is probably mostly safe and could be a fun addition to have.
So I'll let you all decide. Let me know.
Thanks!
