No, I grew extremely disappointed in hypercore and the directions they took.
The protocol is too complex anyway for people to implement without an SDK, so it was a losing battle anyways. That’s why people are pretty much forced to wait for their devs to roll out pear, swarm, autobase, etc; you can’t be self-sovereign and implement the protocol yourself, you are forced into a vendor that doesn’t have competition.
I still see that it’s cool and think it can be a transport layer for a bunch of things, but I wouldn’t build apps on it myself since their devs can rugme (and they already did when finex acquired them and a bunch of my code’s dependencies got deprecated)
