Re: Manually storing DHT content

[TheJackiMonster]

Hey Danny,

if you want to share small content as text messages inside of a group
of people, you could take a look at the messenger service, I am working
on.

It could be possible that it already fills your needs. You can open
something like a chat-room on peers to exchange messages in a
decentralized way. These messages get signed and can even be requested
from other members when the original author is offline.

It's not completely finished but some tests for message exchange
between peers are already succeeding. (Just notice that there is only
doxygen as documentation at the moment. I'm still working on a proper
manual and such. ^^')

Happy hacking,
Jacki
