Support the DHT invites that @staltz has been working on for mmmmm

This would be great! If someone makes a PR I can gladly review. Just follow the readme instructions, then make a "create invite" button that calls sbot.dhtInvite.create, and then another button "accept invite" which calls sbot.dhtInvite.accept(invite, cb)

Resolved by #862.

What happened to this? Seems support was disabled shortly afterwards with b473ba3?

[staltz]

Actually it would be simple to add support for these now that Patchwork uses ssb-conn, I'll see if I can do that

And have you? And why is this closed when it's not done [again]?

[staltz]

It is done. It is closed because it's done.

I am sensing a weird communication here. It is done, yes, it's visible above, and it's disabled, as noted also above. It does not work, not useable. You said it would be simple to add and it's not added. Shall I open a new issue about "support DHT invites for the user, not just the code"? [Based on last release version since the release notes pretty much advise not to use the beta for normal use.]

The problem is that right now I don't quite see how _personA_ would connect to his friend _PersonB_ without subscribing any pubs (or, anything)? Or even then, how to find someone, or how to share something to make them find me? Weirdly this isn't a FAQ, or at least not on the scuttlebutt website. I can easily follow random people I do not know but I don't seem to be able to ask patchwork to follow people I do know.
Frustrating.

But I stop commenting the issue, but you don't seem to soo why it have happned.
