ohhh???
Kademlia
You may have failed to notice that the post that you quoted does not assert that DHT isn't true P2P; it asserts that Kademlia - and whatever else Bittorrent uses - isn't.
If I happened not to add, for completeness of expression, that some DHT is serverless, that doesn't mean we're now using a method that isn't true P2P.
With respect to DHT, being serverless is what counts as far as I'm aware.
With respect to inter-node communication, using a P2P protocol and not RPC calls is what counts.
Lastly, it'll benefit you to recall that Dan has proposed a
hybrid DHT-mesh.
Oh my bad, this was the part I think you think you thought it wasn't, I think?
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.
I think the benefit here, for you, is that what you're doing is done so you can do what you do best which is twisty fluff like the best of them.
Lol post of the week.
Just out of curiosity. There are so many coins involved with blocknet. Why is it only the xc dev and xc pr talk in here??? Where are the other coin devs and other coin community members?
