some channels might require you to register your nickname with NickServ to post in them (e.g. #meta ). NickServ acts like a regular user, so you communicate with it through `/msg` . steps:
1. [optional] set nickname: `/nick YourNick` - not necessary with weechat, since it connects you under your tilde.club username
2. register: `/msg NickServ REGISTER YourPassword youremail@example.com` - you can use your tilde.club e-mail address for this
3. wait for registration email with confirmation code
4. confirm: `/msg NickServ CONFIRM someCode`

after this, every time you reconnect to irc you will have to identify with nickserv again: `/msg NickServ IDENTIFY YourPassword` .

weechat tip: NickServ replies and error messages appear in the first buffer `tilde weechat` (use Alt + up/down to switch).
