Same on FF 28, also Linux.

#13Nice! Why not chrome, exactly?
Last I checked Chrome's DataChannels implementation was flakey and missing support for several attributes
This should no longer be true. Chrome v31 (http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/2013/11/stable-chan...) added SCTP support for reliable DataChannels and allowing compatibility with Firefox.

#14Quite interesting idea. On this we could have a distributed web server that scales as new ppl load the (site??). I can see this hurting akamai. People now have 10Mbps-20Mpbs up on DSL and cable; even before widespread FTOH this could become potent. It would also simplify a Tor alternative implementation, would'nt it?

#16Using profanity for needless shock value is not an effective way to get people to click your link.
What's wrong with fsck'ing servers?

Re: PeerServer: A Server in a Browser with WebRTC
#19I built PeerServer with a friend in 8 weeks last spring for our Stanford senior project -- it's a pleasant surprise to see it on HN six months later.
We are planning to open-source the code and create a brief video showing off its abilities this weekend, as well as fix some of the issues you may be having in more recent versions of Firefox. The WebRTC DataChannel spec has been changing, so it works in FF 22 (beta at the time we developed it) but breaks for some later versions where the API changed. It'll be fixed over the weekend for FF and the latest Chrome -- sorry for the issues some are having now.
Thanks for the great comments and enthusiasm!
