Very cool. 100% over my technical knowledge level but I'll take a look at the code and give it a whirl when I get a chance.
I think it would be awesome if it worked. Power to the people! ;)
Hey thank you!
I finally have some free time ahead, I'll put together a first 'real' documentation that covers installation and basic use cases so that people actually can have a chance of testing it for real. I'll swap the cringy 1990 web page for it on tenfingers.org
Do tell if you try it out ๐๐ป

I did do a test install (on a virtual machine), and everything seemed to install/configure fine using the python source code and instructions in your repo, but I wasn't able to see any connections being made in the listener log. Brain is too tired, but I tried all of the addresses/ports listed (Debian/bash/ip addr) and created port exceptions with ufw per the instructions file. Can this work with a virtual box?
Nice!
You do need a link to some data as a bootstrap to node adresses, there is a test link on tenfingers.org you can try using, it downloads a small text file but also adds my live nodes address to your known addresses when you use it.
Or you can just set up two local nodes on 127.0.0.1 with two different ports, run their listeners, add data to them, extract the links and, download from the 'other' node to see how things hook up and so on.
The links as tenfingers.db are sqlite databases, so they are easily inspected.
