I'm confused how the client/local proxy finds the rest of the distributed hash table to do its lookup in. Are there some fixed conventional internet addresses it can start from or something?
- Donckele 5y agoHad the same questions. The homepage and demo don’t explain in layman’s words how this works. How does the hash get generated and how does it find the target from the hash? Are there servers online that do this?
- exporectomy 5y agoAs for how the hashing works, that's more an implementation detail, isn't it? How it finds the target is what the DHT tech does. But I have to say the home page and example was incredibly clear! For such an abstract thing, it was truly about as perfect at communicating what it is as I could imagine!
