// The bootstrapping module uses the glossary in ~/.ao/peers.json (later will use members from DB?)
// to look up tor addresses for the give shortname or SSH public key.
// We could just do all this in the AO, but the bootstrapper is for public / loose ties and the AO's explicit p2p is for close / private ties.
// The other main difference is that the AO stores data in the database, simplex-chat does not (ao-cli only uses database for Use AO Features).
// The bootstrapper occasionally queries all of the tor addresses in your address book.
// If they are an AO with bootstrapping turned on, the AO server will respond with its public directory information.
// Since you have connected to them via their .onion address, it is assumed they are a known trusted party,
// so the information received will update your local directory information in your address book.
// Be careful to only connect to bootstrap servers you trust, with owners who will not add unsafe .onions to their own directory!
// An AO contacted at a tor address is considered a known party and an authority on announcing its own SSH key (if you trust the party).
// Therefore it works to receive an initial trusted .onion address, connect, get their directory, and use it to connect to others.
// You can copy the directory of each new peer, however these are marked with a hops: field to count how far away the trust gets.
// Maybe there should be a setting you announce to other nodes about whether they can share your .onion address or not (reshare)

// Start bootstrapping in the background
export function startPublicBootstrap() {
  // Go through all the address book entries in my ~/.ao/peers.json
  // For each one that has a .onion address, do a fetch on it at the /bootstrap route
  // If it responds with JSON containing directory information, increment the hops: field on all of it, and merge it with my file
  // Must use entire new or old record. Use whichever one has fewer hops. Only replace if timestamp is newer.
  // Again we are assuming that we know the owner of the .onion address and trust them, because a .onion is not spoofable.
}

// Kill the bootstrapping process
export function stopPublicBootstrap() {
