INTRODUCTION
	
Welcome to Distropine! 

Distropine is distributed P2P network for commenting of sources on the internet 
– you can choose almost any URL and start a discussion on it. 

Distropine network is based on distributed hash table Kademlia P2P algorithm. 
The one, which is also used in various torrent technologies. All the content 
created in the Distropine network is stored at client's computers throughout 
the internet in several copies and replicated regularly. This is how 
independance from commented content's providers is achieved. Discussion is 
simply not placed at the same place as discussed content.

Very detailed description of what is program for, how does it work and how to
configure it can be found on wiki pages here 
https://sourceforge.net/p/distropine/home/.
