I didn't have to deal with a captcha. However it is mentioned on it's github page: https://github.com/sm00th/bitlbee-discord
You could always try MinDisc. It's setup might be easier: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/mindisc-a-lightweight-leopard-discord-client.2240014/

I found Xchat-Alpha and I tested it - it works. Suprisingly, irc IS STILL ALIVE after all these years. What is your channel and what server are you on ? I will connect through Xchat-ALpha
I'm using bitlbee discord via limechat irc client.
All IRC clients still connect to normal IRC servers. Think of bitlbee as a "man in the middle" that lets an IRC client connect to other "chat services" like twitter, jabber and discord. Not IRC.
With that said you can still use normal IRC. For instance #macgarden on irc.freenode.net is the macintosh gardens irc channel. (not the discord channels)

Ok, so I connected to the channel you gave me and I saw over 50 people including you, so I know it now works - Xchat-Aqua and also tried Ircle for OS 9 which I have memories of using. Also, under Windows many years ago used mIRC. It’s great IRC is still around and being used again. Perhaps, I will take a pic of what discord is giving me in terms of the captcha.. sorry, I was upset this morning.. I know I shouldn’t be, just I a feel I should know this stuff like I did back during the PPC era.
another Linux question - do you maintain updates for the remix ?

Its fine. Manually setting things up can be cumbersome at times. As for remix, the browsers get updated from time to time.

Thank you for your understanding. I am not like this in real life, as I am very patient and usually very much into details, just these things I haven't done in many years - given when PPC was the norm, I allowed time to pass by so much that I had OS 9 and browsing the web with it in my hands.. until I came back. Its as if you are asleep for years and wake up to a new reality. So, what time do you usually respond on IRC ?
Oh! That's neat, I didn't quite realize what this was!
Is bitbee transparent to the Discord users? In other words, do you show up as Wicknix, or as some form of "[Bot] Wicknix"?

I show up as wicknix. Your username is attached to your discord login email and pass. It works very well. Macgarden even offers a bitlbee server you can connect to for free to join their discord chat, but i prefer not using public servers for that type of stuff.
Hey @wicknix I admire your patience, I bet you were almost regretting posting bitlbee on the forum lol 
Cheers I'm using it, much appreciated. By the way I noticed you couldn't find the last Leopard version of Limewire, here it is I'll upload it.

By the way I noticed you couldn't find the last Leopard version of Limewire, here it is I'll upload it.@wicknix just wondering what your recommendation for starting bitlbee on login would be? Just adding it in user account options? Also, do you have any tips on making Limewire a bit quicker, I noticed before running 'identify' for bitlbee it goes through all my channels setting +t before it responds, so quite slow. I wonder if it something to do with Limewire remembering the channels from last session or something.
Cheers, I'm almost there hopefully you can give me a hint - no matter where I place my plist, either in user agents or system agents, bitlbee doesn't seem to run with root privileges. So when trying identify, it says permission denied. Hope you can help thx
EDIT: I solved it
How do I run a launchd command as root
I have the following launchctl command as a .plist file. It's loaded and set to run once a day but, it needs to run as root and I'm not sure how to verify this. Also, this cron job basically CDs ...
Why am I getting a "dubious ownership of file" error when Launch Agent runs my .plist file?
I have a Launch Agent configured to run a .plist file for example: /Library/LaunchAgent/foo.plist. Inside this .plist, it is set to run during LoginWindow and Aqua. When I attempt to launch my com...
Using these handy question/answers, had to make it a daemon not a launch agent, chown it to root and set 644. Now all good

I have a problem: I followed this guide: https://mac84.net/web/discord-via-irc/
But I think it’s outdated, because when I type “/msg root account discord on” the server try to connect but it reply: login error: login error: captha-required
Bitlbee available on Macports: https://ports.macports.org/port/bitlbee/
I will commit an update to 3.6 soon.

Thanks, but I have resolved (apparently I’ve insert the wrong token)
Discord for Mac OS 9.2 it’s possible
For those who may still be using this, i created a Discord-like colored theme for LimeChat. Grab it on the garden.

@wicknix, Thanks for the tutorial. Just set up bitlbe and linked discord to it. Super cool to have discord on my quicksilver.

Sweet. Grab the theme i made for limechat if you want colored nicknames and a more discord-like look.
