Bridges

How are the bittorrent to webtorrent bridges going to work ?
Cheers.

By getting people to use hybrid clients (which I believe Feross is working on) or getting the larger clients (uTorrent, Transmission, etc) to add WebRTC support.

Watch Feross JSConf talk here and you'll understand, he's explaining it really good.

@Svenskunganka Is there any active development on the hybrid nodes?

[piedshag]

@feross When will you be releasing the support for hybrid clients

There's a module called wrtc (https://www.npmjs.com/package/wrtc) which provides bindings to the Google WebRTC C++ libraries in node, so that's always an option. There's a bit of refactoring work that needs to happen to enable this first. No code is released on GitHub yet, but I've started working on this locally.
