Hi @ralyodio, it is not possible right now but as long as the Bittorrent protocol allows Nebula to query a peer for more peers it can be implemented. There are only two or three interfaces that one needs to implement

Cool. I'd help but I have no idea how. I r just been looking for a good dht crawler

Nice! I can point you to the things to do. Do you have a go-library in mind for speaking the BitTorrent DHT protocol?
