 DESCRIPTION
 
+goircd is very simple IRC server, written on Go.
 It is heavily inspired by miniircd daemon written on Python.

 * Single executable binary
 * No configuration file, just few command line arguments
 * IPv6 out-of-box support
+* Ability to listen on TLS-capable ports
 * Optional channel logging to plain text files
 * Optional permanent channel's state saving in plain text files
   (so you can reload daemon and all channels topics and keys won't
   disappear)
+* Optional ability to authenticate users by nickname↔password
 
 Some remarks and recommendations related to it's simplicity:
 
 * Use either nohup or similar tools to daemonize it
-* Use either crywrap or similar tools for TLS-capable connections
 * Just plain logging on stderr, without syslog support
