I want to be excited about this — but asking for those who missed the memo, what is “dialing keys” ?

docs.iroh.computerWhat is iroh? - iroh

With iroh you get essentially something that "feels" like the QUIC API, but instead of dialing by IP or DNS+Certificates, you dial by Ed25519 public key, and it "just works" no matter where the other endpoint is listening. These docs might be helpful: docs.iroh.computer/what-is-iroh

We're just excited about dialing keys, because we've found this pattern to be really useful! It's nice to not have to take care of TLS certificates, and to have mutual TLS out of the box and not have to worry about setting up DNS, etc. Your devices just connect :)

Thanks! Will definitely look into this.

Do y'all have a guide or sandbox or something for learning about / trying out in-browser Iroh? Looked around the site and couldn't find anything except n0-computer.github.io/iroh-ffi/js/

Hey Elliot, take a look at the examples repo: github.com/n0-computer/... :)

Thanks Philipp! I took a look. Having a bit of trouble understanding what iroh in the browser does. Does it always communicate via http requests? Also, In the chat example, I created a room in one tab but was not able to join it in another.

Cool thing @frando.bsky.social from our team just noticed: There are 173 crates that depend on iroh on crates.io alone! crates.io/crates/iroh/...

It took us 4 years and 65 releases of iterating on iroh to get to this 1.0. It'll be fun to look back in the coming days & weeks when we'll talk about how iroh evolved to get to this 1.0.

Any plans for Go bindings? :D (Maybe this will push me to try writing Rust again... 🫠)

You aren't the only person interested in this! github.com/n0-computer/... Maybe there's some opportunities for sharing notes/working together.

We have done go bindings in the past, but had to pause them since our rust API was rapidly evolving, and keeping all the bindings up to date wasn't viable. Now that 1.0 is out we will reconsider this if there is enough demand. Here is a small repo that embeds iroh in go: github.com/n0-computer/...

I have been living under a rock. Superb project! Wondering if I can use iroh infra for Device ID (pub key) resolution (dns/pkarr) to efficiently track and prove blocks of content (push or pull) from a streaming (or record-at-a-time) device, using a new commitment scheme I've developed (in java).

mainline bep_0044 is just the ability to store a tiny amount of data (up to 1000 bytes) for an Ed25519 keypair. You need a mainline implementation though. Maybe this one github.com/the8472/mldht ? pkarr uses bep_0044 and defines the storage format as signed DNS records.

Contemplated porting the base scheme to c/c++, rust, or zig. I'm not good at the latter two languages and might use an agent to pair-program it (I must understand the code).

If you like streaming content-addressed data, you might like iroh-blobs 👀 We also experimented with a content tracker at one point: github.com/n0-computer/... But of course that uses BLAKE3's bao and likely not your commitment scheme.
