I did it, I posted my article about #libp2p #ipfs #rust #distributed #social #network #idea ...

Does someone have a tutorial on #libp2p ?

I fail to understand things. 👀

I'm on a train today for about 6 hours.

I think I will write up my thoughts on my #libp2p #ipfs #rust project that I want to start...

Probably on my blog though, not here because it will be rather long-form.

Ok I am almost convinced that I will start another try with #iced and #libp2p ... I hope I can make it to a first prototype.

Probably should make a plan.

So #libp2p looks interesting.

Maybe I should play with it in my free time. It would be much more effort to get a prototype running with #libp2p, but I guess all the required bits are there 🤔

Maybe I _do_ need the vacation days I have left this year 😆

Hm, maybe I do not need #ipfs but can build my app directly on #libp2p ?

Not sure yet, and also not sure about the #rust implementation, but at least there is one...

@jsbarretto no worries, great job!

FYI there's an excellent FOSS / Rust crate which implements this and lots of other cool stuff: #libp2p

One of the first major projects to move to #Rust (back in 2015) the Safe Network has lead the way in many areas to ensure security and #decentralisation, and in turn maximise the #privacy and access of all participants.

Looking at the recent test networks their decision to move to running on top of #libp2p and extend where needed, is already paying off. #p2p #MaidSafe #SafeNetwork 🥳

There's a #SafeNetwork pull request ready to merge that adds NAT traversal using #libp2p so I'm hopeful the next testnet will be this week and give us the chance to test out running nodes behind a router.

Any testnet will be announced on the forum if you'd like to join.

You can run on Windows, MacOS or Linux by downloading the relevant compressed binary once the test has been announced here: https://safenetforum.org

Things are moving fast! #MaidSafe 👏

Exciting progress towards the next internet on several fronts. #MaidSafe are really motoring, with don't help from the folks doing great work with #libp2p 👏

Today is the last day for early bird tickets for #IPFSThing

Brussels, Apr 15th - 19th, 5 days of learning, hacking, and collaboration on #IPFS and related #DWeb, #libp2p other decentralized tech.

And we’ll even feed you!

Please boost!

The natural tension in #libp2p is that of neutral modularity vs. the necessary structuring of the encapsulating program flow that lets the different modular pieces work together.

So for example, at least with this random implementation, to use bittorrent ( https://github.com/mattsse/libp2p-bittorrent-protocol/blob/master/examples/bittorrent.rs ) you have to use and generate a unique pubkey-based identity, and use that to connect (in this case explicitly): https://github.com/mattsse/libp2p-bittorrent-protocol/blob/e3e36680b58b85c9fdea06ad6b1ee98543e3f745/examples/bittorrent.rs#L19

And it looks like to use any of the other protocols/etc you similarly have to go through their handshaking and stream connection process, rather than being able to use them "standalone."

I have thus far mostly read through the docs since reading Go is really slow for me, so take that with a grain of salt - it could be possible to separate out all the pieces, but so far that isn't described in the docs.
#p2p #modularity

I REALLY appreciate how much documentation work protocol labs has done here, it might be sort of all over the place and nonlinear but there is so much good information here about p2p in general here.

#libp2p #p2p

Reading about #libp2p now, and there are lots of interesting ideas here, but one things that strikes me as extremely odd is that this is like a whole organization dedicated to decentralization, and yet it seems like a lot of the modularity of libp2p depends on a highly centralized system of explicit declarations about what codes/names/etc. are used for different protocols - specifically: https://github.com/multiformats/

it's a weird choice, because there is all this logic in here about negotiating about available protocols, being able to have self-describing streams, but then they seem to sort of... give up? at the bottom layer and like "oh yeah but you can only self-describe as one of these fixed values" #p2p

@risottobias I'm more convinced for #yggdrasil but #libp2p does seem a lot more mature

@sendai I note that #ipfs have a #libp2p related syncing kV store I can leverage....

@musicmatze Have you tried libp2p? It's not directly part of ipfs, but it implements a lot of the protocols. https://docs.rs/libp2p/latest/libp2p/

Ever struggled with using #ipfs or #libp2p behind a NAT? ProbeLab (https://research.protocol.ai/blog/2022/introducing-probelab/ ) is running a survey of how successful LibP2P's hole-punching is , and is looking to get folks to run a simple client in December on their home network.
