+====== Communication IRC ======
 IRC stands for [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat|Internet Relay Chat]] and it is a text chat system where you can talk to community members in the channel //#cryptoparty// on the [[http://www.oftc.net/|irc.oftc.net server]].
-You can use one of many dedicated IRC clients (such as pidgin, which you might already know from Jabber+OTR) or OFTCs [[https://oftc.net|browser client]] (which can also be used with the Tor Browser Bundle).
+<code>
+#cryptoparty@irc.oftc.net
+</code>
+To use it, you can either
+  * Go to [[https://oftc.net/?channels=cryptoparty|https://oftc.net]] in your browser (this used to work with Tor-Browser, too, but OFTC currently does not like Tor).
+  * Dial in with one of the many chat clients as for example [[http://pidgin.im|Pidgin]], which you might already know from using it for Jabber+OTR.
