When you say you use (among others) 'Kademlia Mainline Distributed Hash' for discovery, are you referring to the Mainline BitTorrent DHT, or just a different instance of it, operating on the same principles?
How are you resilient against sybil attacks?
Did you end up forking Electron?

I've paired the focus down to Dat, yes. IPFS is still supported but Dat's my main focus. I may write a post later.

Yes, the Mainline DHT.

Dat sites are singly-owned and signed by private keys. The DHT network has all the same issues that BitTorrent has always had [1]. We use fallback networks that are less distributed (a custom DNS server) but we'll need to evolve that solution

No, thankfully! I've been working with GitHub via PRs. They added the feature most needed so far, proper process-level sandboxing, so hopefully a fork won't be necessary.

Do you have a link to the issue where this was fixed/discussed? I searched for it last week and couldn't find it.
Sounds like you need the IPFS daemon running for it to work.
