Usage: [option] <file>
Options: -s Send file on network.
-g Get file from network. Input file must be a hash list.
Optionnal:
-l Local port to use. Default 5678.
-i Bootstrap IP address. Default 127.0.0.1
-p Bootstrap port. Default 8468.
-d Print debug log. wee < normal < loads. Default wee.

### Introduction [Maidsafe](http://maidsafe.net/)-like network implemented in python. The initial algorithm has been slightly modified to increase performance. It is described in the following schematic.
### How to start an instance
- Clone repo :
git clone https://github.com/pldubouilh/maidsafe.git && cd maidsafe - Install modified Kademlia and other deps :
(sudo) pip install twisted pycrypto config && pip install -e rpcudp-master/ kademlia/ - Create necessary directories
mkdir reconstructed scrambled dht - Start backbone kad server :
twistd -noy kademlia/examples/server.tac - Open a new terminal
- Send file :
./main.py -s yourfile.png - Get file :
./main.py -g yourfile.png.hashes
The reconstructed file will be in reconstructed/. scrambled/ is the (necessary) local temp file. It should clean itself after use. The dht folder is the storage folder of Kademlia. Some extra options are available (see help). Note that the verbose option is, well, very verbose.
The code is awfully hacky. Sorry about that.
