Meshbird – Distributed private networking

How is this doing discovery of other nodes? Says it is fully decentralized but just doing a `meshbird new` to get a key and then running `MESHBIRD_KEY="key" meshbird join` doesn't explain the discovery mechanism to me. Haven't dug into it much though.

We are using DHT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_hash_table.

Each node announce some key in DHT network, that represents hash of shared secret key.

It sounds like you figured it out from that...but I'm having trouble. Does it do discovery the first time you attempt to connect or something?
