D.Tube (from internal + external stats like similarweb) has had ~1M monthly uniques.
A full peer can run in every browser, but other components like DAM ( https://gun.eco/docs/DAM https://gun.eco/docs/DAM ) and AXE (still being developed) optimize network bandwidth, so:
Not all peers need to connect to other peers.
Some peers can be installed on laptops.
Some peers can run in the cloud.
WebRTC fails a lot because Browsers still suck, so a lot of peers still "daisy chain" through IPv6 peers (which have handled these large terabyte loads). We hope AXE will improve the WebRTC situation.
AXE will use a radix DHT to optimize peer connections, the algorithm is explained here: (copied from a chat I had explaining how it will work)

So I can't give you any good answers yet, but we should get more stats coming up soon as these changes happen!
- jadbox 8y agoHow far away is AXE from being ready for early adoption? (Btw, hi Mark! Good to see you on HN)
- marknadal 8y agoHey! :D Yeah, so @rogowski in the community has prototyped 37% of it on the AXE github branch! I haven't had time yet myself, it would at least be several months, but the more people that team up with him (you up for joining!?) then obviously the faster it could get out. Part of my delay is GUN works & scales well enough without needing AXE for now, so we're focusing on creating better experiences for those millions of users, to then drive more adoption to AXE when things actually start costing more.
