(somebody1234) mafintosh: about peer-network, is it possible for client to get server name/unique id or something reliably? and is it possible to connect to more than one server at once?

(lukeburns) @somebody1234 my understanding is that it only connects to the first server it can find. Check out discovery-swarm for connecting to multiple peers.

(lukeburns) the unique id is something you'd probably need to implement yourself via a handshake with the server

@somebody1234 to connect to more peers simply make more connections using network.connect(name)

mafintosh: hey did I see that you guys are adding a 'push' behavior to dat, to replicate to a specific target ala git?

pfrazee: yea like a backup service fx

mafintosh: cool, I'm +1 that feature

(lukeburns) mafintosh: oh nice, is there a guarantee that you'll be connected to a new server, rather than the same one twice?

@lukeburns it'll try to connect you to a new server if possible
