Discovery resiliency / DHT

Do you have something in mind for this already? I’d still like to see a proper DHT, but I understand that there might be a problem of trust and privacy. Instead, how about having each project member host a discovery/relaypool server, and decentralize it that way?

DHT for global discovery

and global one won’t because the global server is inaccessible. just set up your own “global” server in your network, in the config file there is a setting for that: <globalAnnounceServer>announce.syncthing.net:22025</globalAnnounceServer> DHT could be something for far-future but i also don’t see a important reason why we would want it now.
