## Editorial review

Libera Chat hosts the canonical IRC channels: #monero (general), #monero-dev (core development), #monero-research-lab (cryptography). Bridged bi-directionally to the Matrix space, so messages cross transports. Connect over Tor via Libera's onion (libera75jm6of4wxpxt4aynol3xjmbtxgfyjpu34ss4d7r7q2v5zrpyd.onion) for anonymous participation. SASL auth means you can register a nick without revealing IP.
