I read the kademlia white paper carefully today. I've previously read articles and blog posts and looked at a dht implementation in javascript previously, but I wanted to get a better idea of what its trying to accomplish and why it looks that way. I did a little bit of coding on the daemon. Although this is the first thing I'm working on, by no means do I expect most users to use it. The network will need these daemons, though, in order to faciliate communication between nodes. I also looked at hyperswarm dht. I might end up using it as a layer, but I need to understand it better. I'm sorry that it's going so slowly, I am very new to all of this, and having to write this soup to write the whole thing from the networking code to the UI in a language that I also don't know very well makes this more than difficult. But as time progresses it will go faster. My goal is to get something out there as soon as possible, but make sure that it's stable and works well. The first impression of is really important.
