its through the holepunch stack (i am the original creator). Incentives for sharing is through social incentives like in BitTorrent. If i use a model with my friends and family i c…

The modular philosophy of the full stack is to give you the building blocks for exactly this also :)

Already supported :)

coming later this year once we stabilise a bit more :)

The rust port of Hypercore has been very active recently and they are making good progress. Part of the latest Hypercore release was to move some of the transport crypto to be easi…

Yea you have to trust the original writers atm. I have some ideas for reducing this trust in the future through some consensus schemes but nothing fully baked yet. Def something I …

Yes, we'll definitely be doing this. Thanks for the feedback.

Hypercore is a single writer append-only log. The website has a bit more info about how it works, but's basically a merkle log signed by a private key / public key scheme. We build…

It's only between the peers in your subset of the swarm for now. They exchange a series of WANT and HAVE messages where they subscribe to the sections of each others logs they are …

The peers gossip using compressed bitfields in regards to what data they have. These bitfields are super small so we can pack quite a bit of information. At the moment we don't do …

We can mount each others drives and collab that way. For a full “union” mount experience we still have some research to do but we are working on it. The mount setup is really good …

Thanks, appreciate it

Yes we are continuously exploring and research this. The mount support is our first stepping stone towards this. See the union mounts section of the post

It should work on 14. Could you open an issue on the repository?

It uses Noise to encrypt all transport connections and using the api you can whitelist which peers (by their public key) you want to replicate with. This API is not yet exposed thr…

I think it was that one yes. Can’t remember the exact time it took, as we ran it over a couple of days due to some unrelated computer issues.

Yea totally. The FUSE support is already very close to being elexactly that. We’ve been using it internally during our beta as an in office P2P dropbox using the mounts feature

Yep! That is one of the things we’ve worked the hardest on. Completely new indexing structure, using an append-only hash trie which scales really well. We’ve tested it with many bi…

The new holepunching algorithm also runs distributed on the our DHT, meaning any peer can help you holepunch to other peers. We also talk a bit more about this on the hypercore web…

Yea holepunching is implemented in the dht-rpc package. There is an explanatory comment there as well, https://github.com/mafintosh/dht-rpc/blob/master/lib/io.js#L... (hope that he…

Author of both here. I need to update the README of hyperdht, but we basically just iterated that a bit and moved it hyperswarm/dht to as it's part of the stack now. I'll update th…

ipv6 is on the roadmap :) i just started spec'ing that out today actually.

yes i haven't tested the demo in firefox yet. there is an open issue for that on the hyperdrive repo. it should work in chrome though and there is no reason it shouldn't work in fi…

it's in the README examples. you can use discovery-channel, https://github.com/maxogden/discovery-channel to do peer discovery which in turn uses multicast-dns and the bittorrent d…

just fixed this. reinstall and try again
