New SkyTorrents nodes join by contacting hardcoded bootstrap nodes (or via DNS seeds). They retrieve a partial view of the DHT and the SkyChain ledger.
SkyTorrents can incorporate (e.g., "copyrighted - uncertain status") and allow copyright holders to add official hashes.
The Mainline DHT stores infohashes (20-byte SHA-1 of torrent metadata). SkyTorrents deploys crawlers that:
