Fantastic work! How did you handle data replication and consistency between nodes?

Interesting. We've been using libp2p for our latest decentralized project. How did it work out in your case?

@CodeDebugged, libp2p worked great for peer discovery, DHT, and gossip protocol handling. I'm glad to hear it's being useful for your project!

Really cool! Are you using any existing libraries or frameworks other than libp2p?

@LearningRust, I made use of the Subsocial framework for the social layer and Substrate for blockchain integration. That simplified the process significantly.

@JavascriptDev, it's a fair concern, but luckily, the Rust language along with its asynchronous runtime made it possible to maintain a smooth user experience.

Brilliant! What's the hosting solution for the distributed nodes?
rustaceandeveloper 1 year ago next
@WebScale, Nodes mainly run on cloud instances, but you can also host on local devices or follow a hybrid model based on trust levels within a community.
