But I have to ask, why would you want to connect to freenode from an exit relay when you can connect from within?
- It adds unneccessary load to the Tor network.
Most of the network is under-utilised guards and middle nodes, hidden services don't stress exits, which are the limited resource.
- It triples general network load.
Triples?
- It's a hassle to setup. Proxies and such stuff.
Running Tor Browser and setting some options on your IRC client?
- Even more if I don't want to move my entire PCs over to Tor
entirely. Then I have to choose the network on an per application base, which not all applications allow to do.
Consider using better applications ;) There's no other fix for this.
- I can no longer use unregistered nicks.
Take this up with freenode
- I can no longer register a nick.

- The same applies to all other users, the latter two are
prohibitive for users actually in need of anonymity.

There's a reason they offer the hidden service to connect to their network.
I'm entirely fine with them offering this service. No need to forbid other services along with this, though.

Respectfully, I think you have a _lot_ to learn.
Perhaps I'm not that kind of guy who accepts somebody elses decision as a god given. It's a deliberate decision by the Freenode folks. It's not me in need of help, it's them. They need a better way to distinguish spammers from legitimate users.
So you know it's something to take up with freenode?
Seeing pretty much all participants on this list (a Tor list!) are opposed to improving the situation of Tor isn't exactly encouraging to write some code to solve this problem. Perhaps I should return to hacking 3D printers.
I would like a pony, why is everyone opposed to Tor downloads and Tor contributions being rewarded with a pony, it would improve the situation of Tor? Tor cannot influence freenode policy....take this up with freenode
Thanks, Markus
