irc.blackcobalt.net

Originally founded as CNCNET, we have been providing simple, reliable IRC to our users for over 12 years.

Our focus is on security and reliability.

We provide complete encryption via SSL client connections and AES server links.

We run a modified hybrid-7 with OFTC's patchset and some other changes.

(For more information on our server software, see the ircd development page)

Standard ChanServ/NickServ network services are also provided.
