- emptysongglass 6y agoUnfortunately, their P2P demo doesn't work insofar as one can start a chat with you using your username or join link. https://p2p.riot.im https://p2p.riot.im
- robert_foss 6y agoYeaah, I think it's an old bit-rotted demo using their first p2p implementation. Still though, the progress they're making is great, and I think portable identities will be a huge deal.
- neilalexander 6y agoThe demo is still working for me on Chrome 88 (not incognito) seemingly. Which browser are you using?
- emptysongglass 6y agoIt works but you can't chat with anyone. I've tried both Vivaldi and Brave. Try and start a chat with your p2p user from a hosted instance. It will fail.
- neilalexander 6y agoThis is by design. The p2p.riot.im demo is a closed system and isn't connected to the rest of the Matrix federation. It speaks a different protocol.
- emptysongglass 6y agoBut that's not clear at all in the blog post announcing it or inside the demo.
