# Buschtelefon

With *buschtelefon* you can setup a gossiping meshnet.
All of it should behave just like human beings tattling at a
coffee party.

There basically are two features:
* Nodes make coffee klatsch available between each other automatically.
* Nodes can be asked about stale information to fight FOMO.

Communication happens via UDP. Autodiscovery of nodes is not
implemented (yet).

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

```ruby
gem 'buschtelefon'
```

And then execute:

    $ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

    $ gem install buschtelefon

## Usage

You can setup your tattling meshnet the following way:

```ruby
include Buschtelefon

aunt_may = NetTattler.new(port: 1337)
aunt_ruth = RemoteTattler.new(host: 'example.com', port: 1337) 
aunt_may.connect(aunt_ruth)

aunt_may.feed(Gossip.new('Renuo can do blockchain consulting!'))
```
