I tried it briefly. I didn’t find it that interesting. I might not be the proper customer for it

Tbh, I had that thought... filehosting, sharing, and pointing to has only become interesting to me later in my life... an interoperable cryptographically tokenized personal IPFS is only interesting to me now because I'm a digital nomad w no real homebase

It didn’t even get to sharing and filehosting. Is that part of it or you have to self host?

Pubky is more appropriately thought of as an alternative to something like a bittorrent client would operate

Rn in private beta we are tokenizing our keys using PKARR (which i like bc I'm a cold key psycho) PKARR allows a bridge between a DHT mainline and your home server... currently synonym is hosting the initial server (this makes sense to me bc of upfront cost and build, your machine needs to understand PKARR to make keys discoverable)

So your signing for your indexed data that is hosted on homeserver tied to your tokenized keys... your keys act like a DNS but the packets are more complex [this is ideal for my privacy and security preferences]

This means later there is opportunity for multiple servers, but that becomes super robust as it would require a build and not just a server host... however, you could probably use the use case to be profitable as a server host (which IMO is ancap af)

Your notes are stored on your own server? It seemed like I could have written a note and I don’t have that setup

Is there a default server hosted by the app?

Yes that's what I was just explaining, a homeserver that machine understands PKARR discovery

I get it. There’s one server for now. Thanks!

Yep exactly!

DHT is a distributed Hash Table
