(Maybe) Replication using sodium-javascript not working

[sce9sc]

Hi, I am not sure that this is totally correct but, I was trying to make hypercore work on a device (termux) that did not have a prebuild version of sodium-native so I had the idea of copying the sodium-javascript (expept from package.json) after installing everything onto the sodium-native folder.

The results were that I could write a hypercore but I could not replicate it.

I don't know if that hack should have worked

The error once copying or changing the sodium-universal to sodium-javascript is

replication stream error (initiator): Error: Noise handshake failed
/Users/sce9sc/Documents/Work/test-hyperdrive/node_modules/hypercore/index.js:863
        peer.extension(name, buffer)
             ^

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'extension')

    at main (/Users/sce9sc/Documents/Work/test-hls-hyperdrive/testHyperFile.js:214:10)

I need to point that I am using hypercore extension

i think you need native. just build it for termux, its should be straight forward (install build deps and reinstall)

Thank you for responding so fast.

I tried to install but I get the bellow error

The think is, that even thought the above is not working copying the sodium-javascript into the sodium-universal should have. Or not? It seems that secret stream is not working with the JavaScript version of sodium-universal.

Thank you, and for the excellent project

@sce9sc oh super interesting, thanks! We’ll look into that
