Thanks for the question. I'm not that familiar with peersm, but from their github page it looks like they're mushing together a whole bunch of different ideas (including Tor and relaying) into one project, and just happen to be using BitTorrent internally for file transfers.

WebTorrent makes BitTorrent work in the browser using WebRTC. WebTorrent is designed to match the BitTorrent protocol as closely as possible, so we are taking care to change the protocol only when absolutely necessary so that, when the time comes, existing BitTorrent clients can easily add support for this extension.

Also, WebTorrent is already working as a node.js bittorrent client (just do npm install webtorrent -g and use the webtorrent command), as well as a WebRTC client (though the docs for this latter part are currently very lacking -- working on it!).

Closing this issue, but feel free to continue discussing here.
