Generic object to be used in Myspace. Such an object could possibly be used on it's own, and it's implementation has security implications down the road. Seems like a sensible thing to keep it separated.
It's intended use is as a generic actor as per Hewitt's actor model. It uses IPFS, IPNS and IPLD from the InterPlanetary FileSystem to achieve this. In particular it uses the experimental pubsub experiment, and as such is likely to change substantially going forward.
Since IPFS PubSub doesn't support authentication yet - it is just raw text being sent - MyspaceObject creates and publishes a public key to IPNS in loose accordance with IPID. These keys are of one time used, and will be recreated it time an object is "instantiated". It tries to preserve the IPNS key's however.
If available in Hex, the package can be installed
by adding myspace_object to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:
def deps do
[
{:myspace_object, "~> 0.1.0"}
]
