# Prelude ERC Quickstart
## Customizing Server list
If you want to join a list of servers on `M-x start-irc`, other than the default list, please redefine the variable `my-fav-irc` as follows in your personal config
``` emacs-lisp
(setq my-fav-irc '( "irc.freenode.net"
"irc.oftc.net"
"irc.mozilla.org"
"irc.gnome.org"))
```
## Customizing Last Quit Message
If you want to customize your IRC Last Quit Message from *Asta la vista* to something more funkier, please redefine `bye-irc-message` as follows
``` emacs-lisp
(setq bye-erc-message "adios")
```
## Reading NickServ passwords from auth-source plugin
If you want to automatically authenticate while logging into IRC servers set the `erc-prompt-for-password` to nil as follows
``` emacs-lisp
(setq erc-prompt-for-password nil)
```
Now you can set password in plaintext in .authinfo file in the netRC format or you it encrypted in .authinfo.gpg file after setting up gpg in emacs
