Ok, possibly interesting. What's it for? The about page says it's for sending small bits of JSON around. Why would I want to do that?

- mathgladiator 16y agoIt looks like an alternative for DNS. ? Kind of interesting, but I wonder how it works with security implications.
- cilantro 16y agoMy guess would be that it doesn't. A public DHT can ensure that data is not corrupted or changed, but you cannot prevent others from seeing your data.
- jamii 16y agoI think the DHT is just used to address peers and do NAT negotiation. There is no need for every message to go through the DHT.
- lukeschlather 16y agoThis wiki page seems a little clearer, though anything prefaced with "My Understanding" might be a little suspect. https://github.com/quartzjer/TeleHash/wiki/My-Understanding-of-the-TeleHash-Protocol https://github.com/quartzjer/TeleHash/wiki/My-Understanding-... So my understanding of that is that TeleHash is something of a cross between BitTorrent and Tor. Theoretically it allows for a totally distributed Internet. Though it looks like the implementation is rough, so it's hard to say how well-defined the protocol is.
- Mizza 16y agoNot like Tor, nor like BT, really. It's more like.. Gnutella and JSON?
- jamii 16y agoIt looks like telehash aims to be a substrate for building p2p apps. It basically solves addressing and NAT for you which are always the first things you have to deal with in a p2p system on the public internet.
