I started looking at trying to write an implementation of the protocol documented here: https://ssbc.github.io/scuttlebutt-protocol-guide/. I was surprised just how little information exists on the handshake and message exchange protocols. The reference implementations of both seem quite immature.

Was there no existing protocol for sending P2P messages between clients this could have been built on top of?
