Dear Nym Team,
Following the inspiring Geminispace proposal by @Ch1ffr3punk, I would like to suggest making ports 6667 and 6697 available for the Nym community.
IRCv3 is a cool and Mixnet-friendly way to communicate, compared to centralized and bandwidth-heavy instant messaging platforms. It keeps the simplicity of classic chat, but adds modern essentials like SASL/CertFP authentication, message history, multi-client support, and native TLS encryption . It is lightweight by design and ideal for the latency profile of a mixnet.
Nym community members can run their own servers with minimal resources. Modern daemons like Ergo and InspIRCd make self-hosting straightforward and privacy-focused.
To see what modern IRC is all about, I encourage people to try an open source IRCv3 client like Goguma, Gamja, or WeeChat.
I believe IRCv3 would be a valuable addition to the Nym ecosystem alongside Geminispace. If you support this proposal, please share your feedback below.
Best regards and happy mixing,
Gab
Victor Virebent
