This is good but, in terms of requiring special software on both sides, it is no better than tor which allows you to expose a service even behind NAT.
Anyone knows a similar service which do not needs special software on the client side?
- pfraze 5y agoYeah that's a basic problem of the approach. I'm going to create a public gateway service for spork (similar to IPFS gateways). You lose the end-to-end encryption by using a gateway, but then only the serving user needs to have spork installed. I figure that can help with asymmetric adoption. Long-term, the Hyperswarm & Hypercore stacks will need to have whatever apps/browser-extensions available, and then the featureset will hopefully be compelling enough to make them worth an install. Spork isn't the end-point.
