[tor-dev] Unable to access '#tor-dev' IRC Channel

[KUSHAL BORKAR]

Greetings All,
This is to inform you that, I, Kushal Borkar, IRC
Alias 'Lashuk', am unable to access the '#tor-dev' IRC channel. I tried
using Pidgin Internet Messenger to properly connect to the channel but I
face the same problem: "Cannot join #tor-dev: Registration is required."
I also checked whether I'm linked to the internet and also verified
by using the command "/msg NickServ IDENTIFY". I cannot access the
'#tor-dev' IRC channel on OFTC neither using my registered nick on desktop
client nor through the web interface. I also tried OFTC IRC Service to
check my Nickname which indicated me "An error occurred fetching the
nickname data. It may be private or there may be a problem with the server."
I eagerly want to discuss the specific project "Ahmia - Onion Service
Search" and would like to know about the Outreachy Internship which starts
from December to March.
I politely request you all help me and direct me in the right
direction in order to start thinking about what I could do for Tor.

With Regards,
*Kushal Borkar*

Hello

For assistance beyond the contents of this email, please join and ask #oftc.

Some of the Tor IRC channels on OFTC are protected from unregistered
nicks from joining as an anti-spam measure.

The nick "Lashuk" is not registered with NickServ.

To join #tor-dev (and #tor-project, and some others...), you need to

1. Register your nick with nickserv

/msg nickserv help register

After confirming there was no errors ...

2. Verify your nick at https://services.oftc.net

- Click login in the top right
- Login with the credentials you created in (1)
- Click Account at the top
- Click Verify on the left
- Solve a captcha

After confirming there was no errors ...

3. Tell nickserv you've verified your nick

/msg nickserv checkverify

If this works, your nick will gain +R mode
and can join #tor-dev (and others)

In the future when you connect to OFTC, you will only need to do

/msg nickserv identify YourPassword YourNick

Matt
