Thanks Sebastian.  This looks like a useful script for people to find
all the Bitcoin clients connected to the official Bitcoin client IRC
channel.  We probably won't distribute it with Nmap since this isn't a
common need (AFAIK) and because it doesn't relate to the
user-specified Nmap scan targets or the user's local network.  But I'm
glad it is available in the archives for people who need this
functionality for research or other purposes.

At some point, maybe we or someone else will create a special
repository for NSE scripts which are useful but not necessarily
appropriate to include with Nmap.

Thanks again,
Fyodor
