  How can it work in the browser? There's no reference to WebRTC in the code.

    Sorry, it looks like you're right, there's no browser support yet. I had always simply assumed that since webtorrent works in the browser, the DHT it uses must also work in the browser, but apparently browser DHT support is still a work in progress: https://github.com/feross/webtorrent/issues/288 https://github.com/feross/webtorrent/issues/288

    Very interesting project. I got curious why you decided to use a one-level namespace. A multi-level namespace guarantees that if I manage to build a strong brand, I can continue to use it, creating sub-domains. The alternative being people buying up names to sell them later. Example: lbry://avengers The first movie come out, makes a lot of success. A brand is built. One year later, I make Avengers II: lbry://avengers.ageofultron and so on. But with one-level namespace, when avengers make success, people will buy all variants of it. TL:DR Just let people buy namespace levels and do whatever they want with it.

      Super slow to respond to this, but this is possible! But note there can be no speculation in names since selling is mandatory.
