	~~How to Use a OFTC-Registered Nickname on matrix.org~~

	~~As described here: If you have a OFTC-registered nickname and want to use it from Matrix, you can do it like this:~~

	# On Matrix, open a new chat (with Riot app this is the "+" sign on the bottom right)		# On Matrix, open a new chat (with Riot app this is the "+" sign on the bottom right)
	# Invite @oftc-irc:matrix.org to the new chat		# Invite @oftc-irc:matrix.org to the new chat
	# Say !nick <yournick>		# Say !nick <yournick>
	# A request for new chat with NickServ will pop up. Accept it and identify yourself with your OFTC password (identify <password>)		# A request for new chat with NickServ will pop up (if not invite @_oftc_NickServ:matrix.org). Accept it and identify yourself with your OFTC password (identify <password>)
			# Send "REGISTER <password> <email>"
	~~Voila, you'll be using your OFTC-registered nick through Matrix, being able to use multiple devices simultaneously with shared history and all!~~

	~~=== How to Start Private IRC Chats, like /msg or /query ===~~

	~~On Matrix, open a new chat (with Riot app this is the "+~~" ~~sign on the bottom right)~~
	~~Invite @_oftc_<nick>:matrix.org to the new chat (replace <nick> with the nick name. For example, to start a chat with NickServ, invite @_oftc_NickServ:matrix.org)~~

	~~To register a nick use /msg NickServ REGISTER <password> <email> ie, with your direct chat with @_oftc_NickServ:matrix.org, send~~ REGISTER <password> <email>

	This works for nicks that are known to matrix.org, i.e. if the nick has never joined an IRC channel that was bridged to matrix it won't work.		This works for nicks that are known to matrix.org, i.e. if the nick has never joined an IRC channel that was bridged to matrix it won't work.
