Options to integrate Waku

[fryorcraken]

Waku enables "live" messaging, real time interactions.

In the context of a message board, this can be useful for:

• Getting notified of new messages or topics
• Embedded chat (troll box etc)
• Online status
• New messages/topic pops up on screen without refreshing
• Potential faster loading of more recent messages

However, one needs to note that Waku does not provide permanent/long term storage.

We recommend data to be stored for 12 hours on the Waku Network.
This is an area for which further technical validation is necessary.

Until Codex is ready, I would recommend attempting to use Waku with https://github.com/webtorrent/webtorrent as described in waku-org/bounties#16

Long lived data being backed up on the BitTorrent network directly from the browser.

Waku can then be used to help exchange and acquire the recent data and magnet link etc to retrieve data from the bittorrent network.

Some considerations may be needed as a text post is very small and hence it may be optimal to have winder chunk than a single post on the bitTorrent network.
