An altcoin founder funded Greenpeace to make a lot of anti-proof-of-work content, including this skull sculpture representing bitcoin mining’s supposed enviro damage.

Bitcoiners instead generally thought the skull was awesome, and now it’s displayed at the Bitcoin Conference. 😊

DarkIRC is the world's strongest anonymous chat. There is no identity. Messages have no link.

Free society means free speech. That means all speech. Without limits.

We made this chat because of the brutal censorship of crypto devs by authoritarian regimes.

The power regime puts devs who work on freedom tech in jail. We are under attack. Devs are pushed into secret spaces with their back against the wall.

But enough is enough!

We want to freely organize in public spaces with our community.

Fear is the mind-killer. We want all free people to stand up for truth and justice. DarkFi is your shield!

Identity is a huge danger in today's world. It's how they attack us. They arrest people for making posts online that don't fit the official narrative.

During the Tornado Cash case, prosecutors got their internal chats on Signal. The court went "you said this" and put the devs in jail.

DarkIRC has no identity. You can change your nickname at any time. No other chat system has this feature. All the other apps make you register or generate keys. This then becomes your ID. All your messages are linked to this ID.

But DarkIRC has NO identity. You just send messages into an anonymous p2p network running over Tor.

We have a few ways to avoid spam. First we use rate-limit nullifiers on the network level. This stops the network being flooded. (Right now it's disabled for this version.)

Each channel can set its own posting policy. And users can also add optional moderation.

DarkIRC nodes are completely anon. The p2p network runs smoothly over the Tor anonymity network.

Our chat works on both the phone and the desktop - for every platform! You can use our native UI.

Or you can use any IRC frontend. You can run the node on the phone through Termux and connect with Revolution IRC.

The EU has forced Telegram to hand over all chat data to them. This is the new normal.

But enough is enough. A free society must have free speech. Free speech means **all speech**.

Yes, we are free speech extremists. Uncensored free zones are full of life, vitality and creation. Our aim is to rewild the internet with the thick dense dark forest of encryption. This dark forest provides cover and protects freedom. It is the internet with mass usage of strong cryptography everywhere, impenetrable to surveillance.

Let there be dark.

Expect us.
