And I just want to say, since it's likely to be blocked by the great firewall ASAP, it's probably high time to start implementing some smarter routing/bootstrapping ideas, otherwise it seems it will just pop up briefly and then die.

You can use *any* other bitcoin node for bootstrapping with -connect. You don't have to use IRC.

Also, with the new -port option it's possible to use any port for the P2P protocol, so port-based filtering can't be used either. I guess it can be made pretty resilient. Though most will still be using 8333 at this moment...

you want -addnode, -connect limits connections to just 1 :P
