The original gossipnet genesis was using a cheesy Node.js “thingie” that wasn't really up to the complexity of what we need to do.

I also really didn't like the architecture, it was basically single-threaded and couldn't scale to multiple instances and … and … and.

So I'm integrating the directory service into tootstest which will be a pretty minor feature but is going to hold up logins completely until it's done.BRFennPocock (talk) 00:14, 28 July 2016 (PDT)

Hacked on it a bit but nothing really working yet. Some kinda Braindead mistakes with Single, I think. More to come as time permits.

BRFennPocock (talk) 16:47, 8 August 2016 (PDT) Time is not “permitting” at the moment. Empires of the Air is getting my free time this week, but as a nice bonus, it is using the same compiler as the gossipnet code, so I've actually done some good things to https://github.com/romance-ii/jscl/ that will be beneficial.

There isn't actually a tonne of work needed to the Genesis code, but it'll likely be a couple of weeks before it's all stable again.
