-IRC is used by Electrum server to find 'peers' - other Electrum servers. The current list can be seen by running:
-
-./server.py peers
-
-The following config file options are used by the IRC part of Electrum server:
-
-[server]
-irc = yes
-host = fqdn.host.name.tld
-ircname = some short description
-
-'irc' is used to determine whether the IRC thread will be started or the Electrum server will run in private mode. In private mode, ./server.py peers will always return an empty list.
-
-'host' is a fqdn of your Electrum server. It is used both when binding the listener for incoming client connections, and also as part of the realname field in IRC (see below).
-
-'ircname' is a short text that will be appended to 'host' when composing the IRC realname field:
-
-realname = 'host' + ' ' + 'ircname', for example 'fqdn.host.name.tld some short description'
