HOWTO: set a donation address on IRC

[DareC]

...or at least on Freenode.

Donation addresses are everywhere here on the forum, and I've found a way to implement them on IRC.  NickServ on Freenode supports the adding of arbitrary metadata to registered nicknames. Just type:

Code:

/nickserv set property donations <address>

where <address> is your chosen BTC address. You can also replace 'donations' with any other string, if you want.

Then, if someone on IRC deserves a donation, type:

Code:

/nickserv info <theirnickname>

and look for a 'Metadata' field to see if they've set an address.
