Acts as an IRC server and a nostr client. Connect with your IRC client using your nostr private key as the password.
Experimental code, use with caution.
- Build and run main, it will listen to 127.0.0.1:6667
- It will send metadata to change your name to the chosen IRC nick when you connect, so use a throwaway private key for now or else metadata may be overwritten because reasons
- Connect with your regular IRC client, use a nostr private key as the password
- Join a channel with /join #channelkey
- Chat away
- Theoretically possible to handle several IRC connections at the same time
