Hi!

Thanks for writing this. I'm just wondering what its status is? Seems there are some outstanding TODOs from the README.

I'm interesting in porting this DHT to work Browser-Side with WebRTC (not for interfacing with normal BitTorrent, but something similar). It seems to work just fine with Browserify once all references to dgram are removed, of course. Any things you think I should be working on?

What did you ever actually use it for anyway?

Thanks!, Rich

I'm (right now) not working on it; I used it to do some tests with DHT.

I wouldn't consider it usable for "production" right now (there are probably more issues than listed in the README).

I'm not sure whether you can get udp working with WebRTC - if you don't need the real DHT protocol it probably doesn't matter.

Ah, okay. I'll see what I come up with and report back if I make something interesting.

UDP won't work with WebRTC, the plan was to just strip that out entirely. It'll take longer for the connections to be established, but that's just part of the experiment.

Tx again, R
