im trying to set up a relay server / super peer. i ran the install script from the repo, but how do i connect to it from my client? i used
const gun = GUN({ peers: ["<ip>:80/gun"] }); but it doesnt seem to be working
is there a sample project i can use to test it? idk if its my code or if the server isnt working
I think I'm doing something wrong and possibly stupid.
const gunSpace = Gun(['https://gunjs.herokuapp.com/gun']).get(appSpace);
gunSpace.put('name' : 'my name');
console.log(gunSpace.get('name')); // <-- [Object Object]what am I missing? i Just want to get the 'my name' string.

or you can use await and do
const value = await gunSpace.get('name')

also Bullet.js does some cool stuff but i went down the same hole the gun way makse sence if you start thinking in graphs
... So im looking into SEA/ users. And how do do user's decrypt data... say the server wants to give some data to a user do you HAVE to use the grant api and access it from
bob.get('shared')put('yolo').grant(gun.get('~@Alice')) then can the Alice see gun.get('~@bob').get('shared') or does it also need to be placed in a public place. with something like bob> gun.get('shared').put(bob.get(shared)) // Alice can read but Keven cant??
@syonfox you never use public space for anything. you always use user space (with certify) or Content Addressing. For encryption see this

do you guys have any recommendations for increasing performance? i have a game and im using gun to sync player positions, calling
.put(position) every say 50ms, but its pretty resource intensive and has a lot of latency
@lain:iwakura.xyz If you don't need to persist data (for example player position), why not use this one? https://peerjs.com/
also, how do you measure latency? latency between what and what?

hi @amark ! I'm sorry to spend your time for a very personal question, I promise I will be a fun of gun forever. ^^ The question is could you remember the link to the awesome tutorial of cryptography that you once provided in gun's documentation a few years ago? (In the new version gun documentation I cannot find it anymore.) I need this online tutorial to learn cryptography. thanks! ^^
i had used yjs (a webrtc crdt database thing) before so i can use that for it i guess
@asd417 You can probably write a book about that :) But you can have a look yourself in the docs, maybe start with the Architecture chapter https://gun.eco/docs/
Or maybe this https://gun.eco/docs/Cartoon-Cryptography#cryptography for @SiJinmin as-well
a question about data modeling. How can I handle objects with arrays in it? Example:
let object = {
scopes : [
{ name: 'a'},
{ name: 'b'}
],
value : 'my value'do I have any alternative other than decomposing the object and the array and saving into gun using gun.set() ?
Hey All, I am exploring the use of Gun in Expo following the ReactNative example. I guess I have some questions on dependencies, specifically in regards to SEA. It looks like Metro doesn’t support dynamic imports? I am getting the error "Dynamic require defined at line 5; not supported by Metro”, related to the
use function at line 15 of SEA.js. Anyone have some experience using Gun in Expo, or interest in helping sort out a demonstration? I am interested in building a simple client/server monorepo that demonstrates basic auth and chat.
and also this issue
// does login here
let machines = gun.user().get('machines');
let machine = gun.user().get('machine/tesseract');
machine.put({faces: 24, cells: 8, edges: 32});
machines.set(machine);
// let's add machine to the list of machines;
let machine2 = gun.user().get('machine/tesseract2');
machine2.put({faces: 1, cells: 1, edges: 1});
machines.set(machine2);
gun.user().get('machines').map().once(() => {
//this is called once only with machine, not machine2
})

@u007 when Browser B makes a query, it gets relayed to Browser A even if Relay has 0 data, and Browser A serves the data, then this gets re-cached on Relay.
@gun-db-fan:matrix.org :clap: @rococtz !
@syonfox that was a bug in the CPU scheduled JSON parser I wrote the other month, see PR that has a fix we're merging, or tell GUN to use regular JSON not mine. Sorry :(
@lain:iwakura.xyz :clap: @finwo , or maybe user a webpack ignore
@u007 wat? Several other apps (like Svelte Fireship one) all export
Hmm, so maybe Browser is fine but NodeJS really doesn't like the User and isn't staying logged in?
interesting @syonfox !

@lain:iwakura.xyz :sweat_smile: I'm glad you were able to figure it out and fix!

gun.user() and then reuse it several other places, same as with vanilla. What env are you in?Hmm, so maybe Browser is fine but NodeJS really doesn't like the User and isn't staying logged in?

@syonfox
once() usually calls undefined if no data can be found within some timespan on the current network. However .map() will make things stream, so you'd want to .once(checkNotFound).map().once()@lain:iwakura.xyz :sweat_smile: I'm glad you were able to figure it out and fix!

just got released, if anyone wants to download agregore, here is the release link

gun-fetch README.md is outdated btw, i'll update it before i go to sleep
Thought this was pretty interesting idea and appropriate to some of the work here on SEA https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6182fa0bdec2ad76a2de22f0/t/61a54d333ed02a77d17716df/1638223155336/Polychain.pdf Not sure if the author is in this group anymore he was in the discord fro awhile
i have a dilema. i can either save secret/private keys in memory and on-disk. it will be encrypted of course, but still less safe since i will hold the data. or i can recreate a function i need from the dht/bencode module that the webtorrent dht uses, this would mean if the webtorrent team/feross ever updates that original function then it will break my module until i update mine and match their changes, this choice is safer though since i am not holding any secret/private keys, i am only holding signatures, so much more safer. which would you rather do?
Im having a little bit weird problem
hm
im trying to put some data in a row or something idk called users
and idk why is giving me a problem

@syonfox (1) aliases are not unique so never use them for security things, only ever as an approximate search (2) grant is deprecated until future refactor, use
@lain:iwakura.xyz if clocks aren't NTP synced, the latency is simulated. Sync has been fast enough for several other games, for years, what latency are you seeing? I'd love to try your game - I'm working with a couple others on some new ones too! Be cool to swap notes.

@NuclearManatee if you can tell us how you want array concurrency handled, then you probably understand why arrays are indeterminate without additional data, but can show you some hacks to wrap them.
@tyrauber :wave: :) this was just fixed by @aethiop use latest github and follow https://gun.eco/docs/React-Native instructions. Also he's just workign on an awesome tutorial too, I don't think finished yet tho: https://github.com/aethiop/jot !
