do you really need a faucet or just some testnet btc to test with ?
< beefcadet>
Need a handy set of wallets was going to give to a couple of my dev guys to use while setting up btcpay server on testnet while they wire me in.. Was looking at BLT wallet(kind of scratching my head on that but..) and testing to see if it worked if it does then all is well
< beefcadet>
so I guess just a bit to see if the damn webwallet works for the dev guys then maybe more if it does.. *shrug*
< wumpus>
i haven't actually ran my testnet node in ages but if you DM me an address i'll see what i can do
< mol_>
beefcadet, i can send you a few rn if you pm me your testnet address
< wumpus>
oh no i'm not saying that i definitely not looking to get into an argument about that, but the above PR was pretty silly, probably just misfiled

< prusnak>
some projects are moving to matrix + matrix has now Spaces - so the UI is very similar to Slack / Discord
< wumpus>
matrix and IRC can be bridged anyhow
< sipa>
oftc doesn't support sasl, libera doesn't support tor connections (yet)
< kinlo>
given that libera is largely the same people als freenode it makes most sense
< achow101>
i've been unable to register with libera. presumably they are under heavy load right now?
< kinlo>
a lot of people are having issues but I guess there are just too many ppl trying right now
< roconnor>
people I've talked with have been able to eventually register after retrying several times.
< roconnor>
(exponential backoff of course please :)
< copumpkin>
yeah, worked for me
< gwillen>
wumpus: the matrix+irc bridging to freenode, with the official bridge, has always been somewhat flaky
< gwillen>
if you stood up your own matrix server and bridge it might be better
< wumpus>
fwiw i was able to register (after getting 'unable to send email' a few times it worked)
< hebasto>
^ oftc or libera?
< wumpus>
libera

i'm laanwj on the chat.libera
< jeremyrubin>
might be worthwhile chatting with Andrew about what his plans are re: freenode... I've chatted with him once or twice, seems like he generally wants to support bitcoin
< jeremyrubin>
prima facie switching sounds reactionary, but i'm not so plugged in to what the actual drama is beyond a mod fight
< jeremyrubin>
pinged andrew see if he shares anything...
< wumpus>
fwiw my impression is that there was already pretty wide distrust of PIA among bitcoiners (for various reasons that are off topic here)
< hebasto>
fwiw, just registered on libera without any flaw or delay
< achow101>
I was able to register eventually

lol man the freenode idiots are going ham trying to keep people from moving
< gwillen>
lol, what are they doing?
< gwillen>
all I'm seeing are op messages telling people to move
< gwillen>
btw I was also able to register my nick on libera, I encourage people to try again (slowly, with exponential backoff etc., in case they get overloaded again)
< BlueMatt>
tons of spam this morning telling people to go back to freenode, as well as now apparently the twitter is down lol
< gwillen>
oh, I assume the spam is the usual trolls
< gwillen>
I think it's unlikely that andrew lee is bothering to spam libera
< gwillen>
if I were the usual trolls I would be spamming both networks each pointing to the other, for maximum lulz.

Hello, I just wanted to take a moment to share the commitment that freenode has for the community, and let the community know that freenode will continue to do what it has done. There will be a statement coming out soon, and I hope everyone will move with caution until then and make decisions thereafter if at all.
< kinlo>
real_or_random: that's all been taken care of (and it's basically the same as here)
< kinlo>
but then again, imho I'd say we first wait until the dust settles before deciding anything
< warren>
Everyone should reserve their account names and if possible channels at least.
< kinlo>
bitcoin channels are covered, individual accounts might be a good precaution
< warren>
good thanks
< hebasto>
is list of channels on libera available?
