Oh, whattaya know?!?! MORE BASH!
This time I actually think there's a reason besides my inability to learn C++... this makes it relatively easy to run with a bunch of other daemons as an overlay thing maybe. Cross compatability, because all you gotta do is write a bash script to dump a daemons p2p list to a file.
But basically, we create a common protocol for p2p networks to share their IP lists with each other, such that a brute force of IP space is more likely to yield a connection that can provide IP lists of potential peers.
