Add optional IPFS bootstrap nodes #12

Closed ryco117 closed 5 years ago

ryco117 commented 5 years ago

Peer discovery is likely to be spotty at first, with few users compared to the size of IPFS. Can be very helpful to have a public list of IPFS nodes to bootstrap into a subgraph of IPFS nodes which contain many DistoRt clients.

This would probably be best handled by adding an array to the config json file and add the peers it specifies at server launch.

Added with commit 3e28672b5bb9ded0e231922b95c82d4346c7ba66, allowing for an array of IPFS multiaddrs strings to designate which peers to connect to.
