server.serve({port:5000, address:"127.0.0.1",buffSeed:"4917816487c1822049939ff1abbf515663275105d01361bbc84fe2000e594539"}, () => {
    console.log('Server started');
    console.log(server.getPublicKey());
    setTimeout(() => {
      server1.destroy();
      console.log('Server destroyed');
  }, 6000);
})
//buffSeed needs to be of 64 char long
