modified the `DefaultPrefix`, couldn't discover any nodes
andy-hsiung opened this issue · comments
I forked this project and modified the DefaultPrefix
in dht_options.go
, but after the modification, I couldn't discover any nodes. Can you help me resolve this issue?
The DefaultPrefix
is part of the protocol.ID
, and you will only be able to discover nodes running the same protocol.ID
as your node. Hence, if they are no other nodes running the same protocol.ID
you will be unable to discover any nodes. You should either use the IPFS protocol.ID
to connect to the IPFS network (or any other live networks) or create your own protocol.ID
, but you need to provide your own nodes.
Please address any follow up to this question on the libp2p forum or the IPFS forum.
