Hi bat, just wanted to say the service looks really neat, will def. try it out. We’re working on a P2P distribution script (https://greta.io) so always happy to see others believing in the opportunities of P2P as well :-)

What technology do you use to set up the P2P connections?

Hi,

It appears Baptiste missed this but I work at Infinit too. We've built our own system to setup the connections. Node addresses are either specified when starting a network or fetched from our Hub (a server that keeps metadata about users, networks, etc.). We use UPnP and NAT punching where necessary to get to the outside world.

I'll definitely check out what you guys have put together!

Ok, thanks, sounds cool. Interesting use of P2P technology, good luck!

We've developed a decentralized file system that enables the creation of a flexible and controllable storage infrastructure in a few minutes. We'd like to give you access and would love to have your feedback. You can give it a try by downloading the binaries directly from the website.

It looks like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10887113 is an article about the same project.
