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!

I'm for having as basic a wallet as possible. No reason to have text chat, VoIP, video chat, and all this crazy stuff wallets are trying to do nowadays. Since a lot of these high PoS coins have pretty quiet communities, I'd recommend they all band together into a single high PoS channel, say #crazysteak or #posinvestors or something.

Good feedback. I am pretty much feeling the same way.

Is there anyone that wants it? Speak now or forever hold your peace!

What about other features? Like market data, or watch only addresses, or other things. Are these something we want to try to get integrated?

High PoS is a niche mindset (which I support). I have found that the vast majority of posters/communities in other coins are completely impervious to the good arguments for high PoS (ie, they cannot understand it)

Therefore I do think it a good move to create a high PoS community.
