Multibit IRC on Freenode

[da2ce7]

I've setup the #multibit channel on freenode.net

 

If you wish, please join and hang out in this channel to provide support.

Hi Cameron,

Supporting users of MultiBit is definitely getting trickier now as the number of users increases.
I have set up Colloquy to join the #multibit channel you've set up.

In the new website revamp we have added a new 'Support' page to give people more help for common issues and how to report bugs etc:

https://multibit.org/support.html


I think realistically people are going to have to do their 'first line support' themselves but I am happy to help out people who cannot find answers after a bit of searching around.

Cheers

Of all the GUI IRC clients, I strongly recommend kvirc:

http://www.kvirc.net/

At-least on Windows and Linux; I'm not so sure if it is the best for MacOSX.


@Jim,  It  is important that you:

1. Connect via SSL
2. Register a username.
3. Set 'ENFORCE' for you username (so other people cannot masquerade as you)
3. Authenticate via SASL (kvirc has built-in support for this).
4. Get a IP cloak. (so you don't tell it to everyone, opening yourself to attack).

I'll set the Channel-server to automatically voice you if you are logged in.

Thanks for the tips Cameron - I'll set that up.
