I guess I'm just paranoid, but I downloaded the latest .24 client from the Bitcoin website and I can see that the client is logging onto IRC? (irc.jipugtug.org, #bitcoin42).

What's up with this??
Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

That's normal. Bitcoin gets nodes from IRC. You can disable that with an option though
