Implement the same Crypto Puzzle that websocket-star has

[daviddias]

Following ipfs/js-ipfs#1095 (comment)

@mkg20001 is this something you could contribute?

[mkg20001]

Sure but also libp2p/js-peer-id#71 needs to be fixed as the server does not have "catch all type validation" which prevents the server crashes in ws-star

[daviddias]

@mkg20001 deps updated. Wanna implement that crypto puzzle? :)

[mkg20001]

@diasdavid Yes

[mkg20001]

How about just rewriting wrtc-star to use the new protobuf+libp2p stuff that ws-star will be using? I think that would be easier than to mess even more with sio.

[daviddias]

Wait on libp2p/js-libp2p#159, it will enable the use of p2p-circuit for both *-star transports

[mkg20001]

Sure but wasn't wrtc star about the fact the webrtc needs signalling to build up webrtc connection independently of p2p-circuit?

[mkg20001]

If webrtc star is about using the webrtc protocol rather then the relaying of the connection then it should be independent from signaling servers.
Addresses would then look like <actual-addr>/webrtc/ipfs/<peer-id> similar to how the websocket protocol addresses look.
ws-star could be actually renamed to discovery, discovery-star or web-mDNS (because as p2p-ciruit handles relay anyway it's only needed for discovery)
