difference with discovery-swarm #43

Closed KrishnaPG closed 4 years ago

KrishnaPG commented 4 years ago

While searching for DHT related projects, came across these two similar projects, even @mafintosh being in the contributors' list for both.

On the surface these both seem to be doing the same, so confused as to which one of these should be used:

Discovery Swarmseem to be based on bittorent-dht at the bottom, while Hyper Swarm seem to be based on DHT-RPC.

Would really appreciate if some clarity can be thrown on, if these projects are different, and/or which one should we prefer over the other for future-proofing.

Yea we should add a section to the readme about this.

TL;DR this is the successor to discovery-swarm and is more or less better in everyway
