Congratulations to the team !
2 questions:
- What is the difference between dat and hyperdrive ?
- I see hyperdrive manages hyper:// urls -- what about dat:// urls ? Will they be still managed ?
- pfraze 6y agoThanks! - "Hyperdrive" was formerly the internal data-structure name of Dat archives. With this release, the team decided to rename the protocol from Dat to Hypercore Protocol. Subsequently, "Dat Archives" are now "Hyperdrives." The Dat community will post some updates about this soon. - The hyperdrive-daemon does not support dat:// URLs. I don't know what the future of dat:// URLs will be but Beaker is phasing them out with a converter tool.
- aspenmayer 6y agoAnother comment which is now gone asked what your relation to the Beaker project is, and how Hyperdrive is related to the Beaker browser?
- pfraze 6y agoJust replied there - Beaker uses Hyperdrive, it's basically the source of its novel features. The Beaker team works on Hyperdrive (the Hypercore Protocol) but we maintain a separate org at https://github.com/hypercore-protocol https://github.com/hypercore-protocol
