Discover my node

[mohamedmansour]

The intent of this feature is to allow anyone to send to our crawler their node so we can crawl. Makes p2p discovery easier and faster.. This will require:

• an update on the UI to submit their node
• require API changes to validate that information
• crawler support to continuously crawl that info

Hi @mohamedmansour I noticed this issue tagged to #40 but still seems to be open.

I'd like to pick it up if it's still available 👍

Hi @MitiaRD,

Sorry to disappoint, but I've basically made all the issues here irrelevant with a complete rewrite of the project.

I haven't had time to clean everything up for a PR. I'm working from this fork/branch: https://github.com/angaz/node-crawler/tree/split_disc_crawler

Hey @angaz no worries!
I will keep an eye out for your update, I'm keen to contribute to this project wherever I can, lmk if I can help :)

Sounds great!

Be sure to setup and run a node. It will give you some insights into some of the terminology, and give you some ideas for features which might be useful for other node operators.
