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 can help rehost to them

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 easier to port to other languages such as rust. The wire protoco

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 wanna hit tho, so we can get better security in something li

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 collaborative data structures by combining multip

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 interested in. We are working on expanding this scheme

by mafintosh 6y ago
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 anything special in regards to discovery, but as we sca

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 though and fully p2p

Thanks, appreciate it

by mafintosh 6y ago
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 through the daemon but it’s in the modules. Hyperdrives also ha

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.
17.
by mafintosh 6y ago
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
18.
by mafintosh 6y ago
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 big datasets including importing all of Wikipedia as files in

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 website
20.
by mafintosh 8y ago
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 helps!) We are plann

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 the hyperdht README to reflect that.

ipv6 is on the roadmap :) i just started spec'ing that out today actually.
23.
by mafintosh 11y ago
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 firefox once i find the bug.
24.
by mafintosh 11y ago
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 dht to find peers.

just fixed this. reinstall and try again
26.
by mafintosh 11y ago
this is not osx specific. its gonna be installable on other platforms as well (linux/osx/windows)
27.
by mafintosh 11y ago
it should work without internet connection

playback supports live streaming of magnet links / torrent files atm using https://github.com/mafintosh/torrent-stream .

by mafintosh 11y ago
atom-shell has good tooling support (i.e. https://github.com/mafintosh/atom-shell , https://github.com/maxogden/atom-shell-packager ) which makes shipping apps a lot easier atm
