Find a more stable solution for Tails default chat support channel

IRC networks and Tor are not good friends.
OFTC many tmes blocks exit nodes to prevent spammers. Indymedia is sometimes hard to use and harder to configure with SASL.
We should have a stable solution to give irc support to the users.

Maybe XMPP is a better solution but we raised the problem of having randomly generated account on the server. We would need to find a server that:

  • Allows the creation of new accounts on the go.
  • Erases unused accounts frequently.
  • Supports Tor for real.
  • Has a commercial SSL certificate or is available as a hidden service.
