Is there any good P2P library for sending strings between nodes? I am looking for something similar to Py2P.

I might release one. What is your use-case exactly?

I am going to develop a simple P2P messaging system with elliptic curve encryption. One of the biggest problems is dealing with NATed connections. We should use BitTorrent's approach (UDP hole punching)

I might help you with the library. We could init a git repo on GitHub.

It's probably no simple but at Status we are implementing libp2p in pure Nim for our Ethereum needs. (https://github.com/status-im/nim-libp2p)

While waiting for the libp2p implementation this our P2P stack (github.com/status-im/nim-eth/tree/47c7a988/eth/p2p) and our NAT traversal library https://github.com/status-im/nim-nat-traversal.

Isn't it "just" a client for lib2p2 daemon?

No currently we have a Nim wrapper for libp2p-daemon (in go) but we are also writing a native Nim implementation of the spec.

I wrote some thing that might work for you: https://github.com/treeform/netpipe I wrote it for my p2p game. It uses UDP but adds reliability and has UDP hole punching.

Nim implementation of the spec.
Oh nice @mratsim. Where is the work happening?

BaldEagleX02 (orginal) [2019-06-27T18:50:51+02:00] view original

Maybe it's better (and easier to code) a IPFS library for Nim

Here https://github.com/status-im/nim-libp2p/tree/master/libp2p.

The daemon subfolder is for the daemon, everything else is for the native Nim library.
