DHT
- Distributed Hash Tables: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_hash_table

So you're not going to use true P2P anymore?
Huh? We never claimed that DHT isn't true P2P.

What we did claim, however, is that RPC calls aren't a true P2P protocol. I think you got confused there.

(Also, we will use serverless DHT.)



ohhh???

2. I'm also curious about the p2p claims that are written. Maybe I'm missing something here and if you could enlighten me I would appreciate it. But SuperNET is using an implementation of Kademlia for p2p nodes, which is the same technology that Bittorrent is built on and as far as I know using such a protocol would quality as 'true p2p'.

Kademlia... that's distributed hash tables, aka DHT. DHT uses servers to lookup and locate nodes. Therefore it's not truly distributed, thus not P2P.
In contrast, the Xnode protocol, upon which the XBridge is based, is completely serverless in operation and truly distributed.
