Interesting, did not expect that question. I would have thought libp2p is library enough to not be comparable. Am I wrong? Mycoria is a ready-to-run software.

  that's correct. libp2p is designed as an agnostic library that could be used in projects similar to Mycoria. it offers the building blocks to build a p2p network. as a side-note, I've tried to use libp2p in the past, but ended up writing transports, NAT traversal, and fundamental structs for my p2p network from scratch, ditching libp2p.

    IMHO, libp2p has the worst API and project structure I've ever seen in an open source project. The project almost feels like sabotage. For example, I once asked whether there is an example of using libp2p to send one file from an endpoint to another one. Someone answered a year later and explained that there was no such functionality. They were really surprised someone might want to use libp2p to send a file from A to B. I eventually figured out how to do it but decided not to use the library. However, there is still a real need for an easy to use p2p library for Go that can do some NAT traversal. It's a real pity that the developer of github.com/perlin-network/noise stopped working on it.

    Did you eventually made your work available somewhere?
