I've been trying to wrap my head around using DAM. I would like to be able to use the underlying wires between peers (not relay peers, but user peers). The documentation is not very clear on how to do this. Any direction would be appreciated!
What I'm trying to do is use DAM for Bugoff instead of webtorrent. This way, I can keep things all Gun based. If I could tap into DAM peer wire communication, then I shouldn't have to worry about full vs partial mesh. Otherwise, I'll have to also build a gossip protocol, and some kind of peer routing DHT, which doesn't make a lot of sense since DAM already does it!

You can create a key pair and share with the users or create a secret like here: https://gun.eco/docs/SEA
Hope this helps.
Hi guys, just one quick question: is my understanding that if an object has even just one property initialized to "undefined", the .put() method will not work on it correct?
If that wasn't clear, here's an example. Should such cases be avoided?
const test = {
en: "hello",
es: "hola",
fr: "salut",
it: undefined
};
gun.put(test);gun.get('languages').put(JSON.stringify(test)), but you would need to parse it later to use the properties.
@GianmarcoTurchiano I believe your issue is that you are trying to put an object to the root node. Try:
gun.get('languages').put(test)
That's actually what I tried in the first place, I did this with the root node just to keep the example as straightforward as possible. To elaborate further, I'm having this problem because I'm using Typescript, which allows for a class to have optional parameters (such as public readonly it?: string). It's not as I absolutely must do it like this, I could simply initialize it to an empty string, but I'd like to know if that's absolutely necessary.
@amark, but how do these peers connect to each other? WebSocket is client to server only. WebRTC is full-mesh only (correct?). How do you make peers connect to each other and not use relay servers as the TURN ones?
Well, null may be even larger on 64 bit systems, than the 0 integer of 32 bits. Was weird to find out that boolean is also 32 bits long.
BTW, in the GUN sources, you complain that you can't store +/- Infinity. Well, you can. You already store soul links in a JSON object. You could use the same approach to serialize +/- Infinity, NaN, and whatever else you desire. Just use an object with some specific format.
Well, there's not much I changed to support undefined values. Just a couple of changes here and there. It was hard to find those places, that were taking care of actually storing data. And I was really glad to find out that it is possible to reduce the utilization of storage. I tested this branch locally, but I have a problem running mocha, I'm getting spammed with
err: [Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, rename 'D:\MEGA\Development\Projects\gun\radatatest-%1C-3rf.tmp' -> 'D:\MEGA\Development\Projects\gun\radatatest\%1C']and such :c
I'm not really sure what magic of useEffect you mean - to me that function is pretty straightforward. You pass it a callback to run initially and whenever one of its dependencies changes (if any). And, optionally, return a cleanup callback:
useEffect(() => {
// do your stuff when dependencies change
return () => { /* cleanup */ }; // optional
}, [zero or more comma-separated dependencies]);No magic here!
BTW, the master branch doesn't really like browser mode, as it has no built-in Buffer. I fixed it locally. I haven't created a pull request to fix it though :/
@draeder, I worked with Angular and React, and saw Svelte. But I would suggest using Vue 3. It's a breeze. And Tailwind CSS 3 for design

@amark Wow, so I'm reading the AXE whitepaper.
I think, if you somehow combined this with my (probably not original) idea of turning users into miners, you could make it such that users can pay the fees for servers by mining (some external value) in some form or fashion (in the case, for example, that they don't want to pay to connect to the internet usernet :))
.open .load modules , but I am new to vanilla js (I am clojurescript dev), so ? can smb point me to examples of rewriting old internal utility functions ( obj . map; obj; list; ... etc )or explain me in a nutshell what has come to replace them or point the finger where I can research it. thx. I have no time to a call. sorry. thx
Hey so just building out my user system.... is there a proper way to save the user for later or creat an new gun.user instance
the problem is
let user = gun.user().auth('alice', 'password');
//then later
let g = await SEA.pair()
let room = gun.user().auth(g);
//setup room
//now user.is == room.is :(
//but I'm still in Alice browser tab and now want to do stuff as Alice
//what is the proper way to do this what I want is for room to be a new instance so my reference to the Alice user is not overwritten
//do i just need to make a new instance of gun?
//or save Alice's password in memory?Also, 13.2, I am pretty sure the last sentence should say:
13.2. End Peers.
There are no “exit nodes” to manipulate the system, and no peer can force another peer
to send data. Even if an end peer colludes with a server, it still has to prove that it
received data or else the sending peer would abandon the bid. The only interesting attack
would require stealing theend peer’ssending peer's private key.

In the API of the documentation it says
Unexpected behavior
If you do not use a schema with .open(cb) it can only best guess and approximate whether the data is fully loaded or not.
What kind of schema is meant there? I could not find any other mentions of a schema in the API documentation.
Hi all,
I have been having issues trying to keep my data persistent when all users are disconnected. It took me a while to figure this out (maybe a week on and off (or so) as I didn't know what I might have been doing wrong). I currently have server peers for this purpose. It appears that they don't remember the data they saved until you restart them. It seems only then do they load this data.
For example, I have a chat app. I log-in and send a message. It appears in the other side's chat box and the servers save this message. I then close both clients and clear their cache (or using incognito window and a guest window for true 2 users test). I then go back to try to log-in and now I can't. If I create a new user account I ca'nt see the other messages.
It's only until I go to restart one of the relay/persistent servers does the chat data suddenly show up. Similarly, if I was at the log-in screen this would be when that suddenly works now.
Hi all,
Sorry to bump this, but felt like it was going to be buried as I never got any suggestions on this . This seems like a pretty important pat of this whole thing. I have essentially moved away from using this for now for my production project because of this. But I would like to revisit this later. Any suggestions to this?
