How to use nickserv on IRC

To start registeration with nickserv on a IRC network type into your IRC client(Hexchat in this example) 

/query nickserv

It’ll open a new window to interact with the bot. All IRC networks have a different syntax so I wont go into how to register with one here. 

Type help for a list of commands, the one you want for registering is:

help register

Which will bring up instructions on how to register your nickname. 

For any command in nickserv you don’t understand I suggest you type help before them all. Explore each command. If a nickserv bot has an option to hide things on your nick I suggest you enable those. You can hide info from appearing such as your email address from showing up if someone did something like “info” on your nickname. Some IRC networks by default will expose your email address.
