No. Hyperdrive is not like the official BEP-conform "mutable DHT item"-based updatable torrents.
They essentially say "download the most recent version signed by this pubkey", which ia notably distinct from hyperdrive's append-only log.
- rakoo 6y ago"download the most recent version signed by this pubkey" is literally how hyperdrive works. The append-only log is hypercore, one of the building blocks of hyperdrive. Hyperdrive is a layer above and gives you a view of how the archive is at any point in time, with preferential access to the latest version. TBF what I understood from the request of "mutable torrents" wasn't the literal feature, but a way to have decentralized nodes exchanging updatable content. Bittorent with the Mutable Torrents BEP does work, but it's nowhere near as developed as what hyperdrive is today. And as sad as it may sound I don't think it will ever be.
- namibj 6y agoYeah. My point was, that BEP 46[0] doesn't have any archive/log functionality. [0]: https://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0046.html https://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0046.html
