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

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.
