That way we can have small iroh endpoint ids despite having large PQ public keys, for a post quantum secure iroh 2.0.

Post-quantum security has been a frequently-asked question for as long as iroh exists.
We're happy to report iroh can do PQC now! Read about it and all the nuance:

Great rundown from teammate @frando.bsky.social on why QUIC & p2p connections go together like peas and carrots. Also s/o Internet Archive. The disambiguation of p2p alone is worth a watch

Who says you need to buy new hardware? It's always a magic feeling when you can supercharge old Android-based terminals and Windows 7 machines with peer-to-peer!

The attached example is contrived. But it is something I care about.
After 1.0 is out I want to finish an iroh based DHT. It will be similar to mainline, but it will have a bep_44 like mechanism that is not limited to 1000 bytes.
One use case is storing ~2 KiB PQ keys and getting them via 0-rtt.
