Mike Hancoski as of 2018 was living in Denver, posted to Instagram and looks different than photos. I think you also missed Maxim2030 who is also in the list by momothereal. And also manhyper
We're hitting the end of the allowed reply indents but I think you're right modernerd. Looks like he's likely still active online.

Ahh thank you I had missed Maxim2030. Looks like manhyper updated his fork of screeps on February 11th?
Also saw Mike Hancoski's Instagram but it's odd he hasn't posted anything to his LinkedIn since 2014? Maybe worth awkwardly reaching out just in case?

If someone wants to check, I'd bet he at least forked or starred the github repo. A script to pull the list of those people, minus anyone whos been active since april 2017, would probably show his account.
Checking for users who forked the repo in 2017 and haven't been active since 2017 I got.

Does it rely on some kind of central server that allows devices to discover each other?
It does! This is one of the big differences between it and something like Wireguard. It uses NAT hole punching to create direct links between machines without any manual configuration.

Sort of? When you first boot up your first two nodes it uses a set of "bootstrap peers" hosted by the IPFS team. These bootstrap peers allow instances to initially connect to and share their locations with other hyprspace instances with the same discovery key. Although we use these peers for discovery, none of your data is ever sent through them. All of the connections hyperspace makes at the moment are direct end-to-end encrypted peer-to-peer connections.
