Secure IRC?

priikone writes: "IRC has had a lot of problems related to security and network scalability in the past, and recently as well. However, there is an alternative -- secure alternative to IRC; the Secure Internet Live Conferencing (SILC), which has all the same features IRC has, with addition of superior security, and hopefully more scalable and powerful network topology. It is for all those who cares who's listening. It works, and is of course all Open Source." We posted an article about another secure IRC system last year.

You cannot secure IRC

[duffbeer703]

IRC is a denzien of hackers, pirates and kiddieporn scum.

Maybe you are one of the 500 people who actually chat on IRC, good for you. 90% of the traffic is warez and porn. These people could care less about security and prefer anonyminity for obvious reasons.

Sorry to burst the bubble.
