First Setup
User Guide Reference
Bitlbee itself has a very extensive user guide. I will keep things short, show you the required commands, and explain what they do or what they are for. There is also this YouTube video which helped me a lot in the beginning.
It’s also helpful to have another IRC client on your desktop alongside, as typing or copy-pasting text to and from the BlackBerry is often fiddly.
Registering Your User
Once connected to the bitlbee network, you will need to register your user. Adjust mysecurepass to the password you would like.
register mysecurepassBitlbee will then log you in instantly.
Identifying on Subsequent Connections
If you want to connect from another device with the same user, you will need to identify yourself with the following command:
identify user mysecurepassSaving Your Configuration
Throughout the setup process, remember to save your configuration regularly:
