 ## Is this a replacement for IRC?
 
-`ssh-chat` and IRC have overlapping scenarios. `ssh-chat` right now doesn't have channels like IRC does, 
-but for smaller projects and teams, `ssh-chat` might be better in the long run. `ssh-chat` identifies
-users by their public keys so authentication is automatically handled by sshd. `ssh-chat` is also easier to set up since all a user has to do is connect via ssh to a specified IP as opposed to installing an IRC client, 
-connecting to a server, and connecting to a specific channel.
+It can be for some scenarios, but the goals are not identical.
+
+ssh-chat focuses more on secure chat with small teams. Traditionally to achieve this with IRC, you'd setup an ssh server for your friends and run a localhost IRC server on it that your friends would connect to by tunnelling over ssh. ssh-chat achieves a similar level of security without setting up multiple servers and tunnels.
