Is it basically btdig.com ?

Btdig is awesome. If this is like an open source version in Go then that is a huge contribution.

Isn't btdig also open source? I see a "fork me" button on the front page and it leads to a repo: https://github.com/btdigg-org/dhtcrawler2

It is 9 years old and in Erlang.

An advantage here would be people self hosting their own based on this project.
