Just signed up for DO mostly just as a layer of separation for when I am on IRC. Very impressed with them and thinking about many other possibilities now. Keep it up DO!

DO is really nice for this, and the bandwidth helps when you need to proxy traffic through it, for example twitch.tv is very slow here yet routing through DO I can reach 2.1mb/s (using twitch-dl i can reach full SSD Disk speed(!!).)
I switched everything to DO a month ago and I'm loving it. I've been very impressed as well.

What do you mean by this? Using your DO VM as a proxy?

Essentially, yes. Sometimes as a proxy and sometimes straight from shell (irssi). My long term goal is to tailor an IRC bot to represent me virtually while I am unavailable (at work, etc).

Sounds like you want http://wiki.znc.in/ZNC

Just get an IRC boucer. I like BIP.
I'm talking about AI style responses based off a dataset I provide. Not just presence. =)
Thanks! =]
