About

This directory contains two sample applications that demonstrate using Noms in a decentralized environment.

Both applications implement multiuser chat, using different strategies.

p2p-chat is the simplest possible example: a fully local noms replica is run on each node, and all nodes synchronize continuously with each other over HTTP.

ipfs-chat backs Noms with the IPFS network, so that nodes don't have to keep a full local replica of all data. However, because Filecoin doesn't yet exist, some node does have to keep a full replica, so ipfs-chat has a daemon mode so that you can run a persistent node somewhere to be the replica of last resort.
