# Adding an IRC proof
Let's add a decentralized IRC proof to your OpenPGP keys.
[[toc]]
### Add a property to your IRC taxonomy
After logging in into the IRC server with your registered nickname, send the
following message (make sure to replace FINGERPRINT):
```
/msg NickServ SET PROPERTY KEY openpgp4fpr:FINGERPRINT
```
To check whether successful, send (make sure to replace NICK):
```
/msg NickServ TAXONOMY NICK
```
To add more fingerprints, send:
```
/msg NickServ SET PROPERTY KEY2 openpgp4fpr:FINGERPRINT
```
### Update the PGP key
First, edit the key (make sure to replace FINGERPRINT):
```
gpg --edit-key FINGERPRINT
```
Add a new notation:
```
notation
```
Enter the notation (make sure to replace IRC_SERVER and NICK):
```
proof@metacode.biz=irc://IRC_SERVER/NICK
```
So, for user `foo` on the freenode server, this would be:
```
proof@metacode.biz=irc://chat.freenode.net/foo
```
Save the key:
```
save
```
Upload the key to WKD or use the following command to upload the key to
[keys.openpgp.org](https://keys.openpgp.org) (make sure to replace FINGERPRINT):
```
gpg --keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org --send-keys FINGERPRINT
```
And you're done! Reload your profile page, it should now show an IRC account.
