Types

type Key

type Key struct {
	ID               peer.ID
	PrivKey          crypto.PrivKey
	MultibasePrivKey string
}

This struct is just a simple way to pack a libp2p node key, in order to reuse it between runs. When nodes change ID they can't connect to each other easily.

func New

func New() (*Key, error)

func NewFromMultibasePrivKey

func NewFromMultibasePrivKey(m string) (*Key, error)

Extracts a libp2p node key from a multibase encoded string. The string is suppose to come as a command line argument.
