Bitcoin client using IRC?

July 10, 2011, 06:50:20 PM

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??

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

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