Hello together,
we run for [chat.sum7.eu](https://chat.sum7.eu) already an IRC-XMPP-transport.
So every person is able to join any IRC chat(room) without another IRC client.
Join a chatroom _#ROOM%SERVERNAME@irc.chat.sum7.eu/MYNICKNAME_, by replacing _MYNICKNAME_ with your nickname.
e.g. [#card10badge%irc.freenode.net@irc.chat.sum7.eu](xmpp:#card10badge%irc.freenode.net@irc.chat.sum7.eu?join) or [#ffhb%irc.hackint.org@irc.chat.sum7.eu](xmpp:#ffhb%irc.hackint.org@irc.chat.sum7.eu?join)
It is only for an IRC server one nickname possible.
A single person could be contact by using _NICKNAME%irc.freenode.net@irc.chat.sum7.eu_.
We use the software [biboumi](https://biboumi.louiz.org/) for it.
**Be careful**, IRC-Transport stores by default logs of the IRC channels to deliver them after you got online again.
(This could be disabled by changing the default settings persistent and history with your client [see](https://doc.biboumi.louiz.org/user.html#history))
By the way _irc.hackint.org_ run his own transport, so you do not have to trust us, to keep the logs safe.
Like [#ffhb@irc.hackint.org](xmpp:#ffhb@irc.hackint.org?join) with your normal xmpp username as nickname on irc.

Now we start to develop a Threema-XMPP-Transport, it is a really early state.
The current version is deployed at _threema.chat.sum7.eu_.
If you like to try it add [threema.chat.sum7.eu](xmpp:threema.chat.sum7.eu) and send her the message `generate`.
Afterwards, you get could write any person by use _THREEMAID@threema.chat.sum7.eu_ like [ECHOECHO@threema.chat.sum7.eu](xmpp:ECHOECHO@threema.chat.sum7.eu)-Bot.
So we like persons which test it and help us to improve the software.
Do not be shy to open an issue under [dev.sum7.eu/genofire/thrempp](https://dev.sum7.eu/genofire/thrempp).
For **Thrempp** we use the library of [o3ma](https://github.com/o3ma/o3) and [go-xmpp](https://gosrc.io/xmpp) for it.
The current structure of **Thrempp** makes it possible to add other transports, later.
We hope to support more functions than Threema's personal text, image and audio messages like group chats soon.
**Be careful**: We store your Threema Privatkey and open any encryption to other threema accounts.
Pictures- and Audio-Files are stored [for 7 days](https://sum7.eu/privacy_policy/) unencrypted as XMPPs HTTP-Upload.
It is technically necessary, because the end-to-end encryption in threema and xmpp are not interoperable.
