  <pw:xmr.mx> it was used on a huuuge scale decades ago and has stuck with oldschoolers. > <BlueyHealer> What's the point of mirc? It's proprietary when there are several good FOSS options available...

  <pw:xmr.mx> can be a very basic client or customised with things like mp3 players and all sorts.

  <pw:xmr.mx> some people just prefer it.

  <pw:xmr.mx> the gaming scene back in the day used it for communication and was on servers like quakenet

  <pw:xmr.mx> highly customisable program. from addons to layouts. much prettier and most of the time much more practice

  <pw:xmr.mx> have to remember when computers first came around no one had the options of FOSS. stop getting so hung up on people using proprietary software.. try using Monero. plenty FOSS wallets

  Ah, so basically just habit?

  I meant this being odd currently because it's the one space where the free as in freedom and free as in beer are pretty developed.

  Like, my first one was Hexchat (since it was preinstalled on the OS).

  <-maddin-:matrix.org> hi, sorry for the newbie question, but in Monero GUI, where do i find the wallet ID?
• 09:42
  br-m
  <-maddin-:matrix.org> pasting the primary address into Retoswap fails...
• 09:43
  br-m
  <ofrnxmr> What do you mean by "ID"?
• 09:44
  br-m
  <-maddin-:matrix.org> when i set up an account on Retoswap it asks me to input my wallet ID... 🤷‍♂️
• 09:44

  <ofrnxmr> Can you send a screenshot ? Redact any personal info

  <pw:xmr.mx> back then it was always known as mIRC. I think the m was for Microsoft. I maybe wrong though.
• 10:40
  br-m
  <pw:xmr.mx> you should checkout some custom full scripts. its pretty neat and nice on the eye and can be feature packed.[... more lines follow, see mrelay.p2pool.observer/e/0qmi5ZoLNEd0YlZM ]

  <pw:xmr.mx> @ravfx:xmr.mx: ah, thanks for clearing that up. for decades I thought it was Microsoft - oops
• 19:56
  br-m
  <ravfx:xmr.mx> Naa, Microslop did indeed make an IRC client but it was bundled in Internet Exploiter 4 I think, and deprecated next version because no one used that shit.
• 20:00
  BlueyHealer
  Reminds me of how some distro (don'trecall which) used to bundle an IRC client but now bundles something more limited just for accessing the help channels.

  Looked up what it is. That's such a bizarre thing that it's surprising Microsoft of all people made that.

  This looks like something a random dev would make just to prove they can)
