> Pubs are sort of easy to connect to peers and there is work being done on peer discovery to outdate most pubs;

this is cool! could you explain more?

i thought Pubs were needed to connect with peers on internal networks, to alleviate NAT traversal issues.

what i would like to know more about regarding Pubs - but could not find any info on some time ago - is how much it will cost, more or less, to host your own Pub in terms of data transfer/storage, CPU, etc. and whether rate limits can be set to manage this.

nice to see your docs.. i have them bookmarked for later :)

Hi rapnie, I suggest you try the protocol guide, it has a section on pubs: https://ssbc.github.io/scuttlebutt-protocol-guide/#pubs
