How?
When I type “holesail holesailMCServer420” and then send a GET request to localhost:8989, how does it find the ip address of the server that used the same connector?
Also, can the connector be a public-private keypair or a string/string-hash pair? Because I want others to send requests to my server without being able to try taking over other peoples’ the requests.
/subscribe (to this thread, lol)
When you do holesail CONNECTOR, it generates a hash that is also your location in the distributed hash table, atm there are two public nodes run by hopepunch team which lets you in on the mesh network of peers.
Anyone can run a public nodes, and it's only used for initially finding first few peers after that other peers tell you where your "peer" is located.
To stop people from taking over, you need to use key, which are automatically generated.
holesail --live 5000
will give you a key
Would also be a great place to drop the video of that dude breaking down Kademlia. Actually, I have it saved lol https://youtu.be/1QdKhNpsj8M?si=iyBPHCuwPld9SLm6
