    Alas, I found it difficult to understand what was being said and when I saw this was going to be 30+ minutes, I bailed.

      Yeah, despite this being an interesting topic, I also couldn't sit through it... by filming in a cafe with a laptop webcam and mic it makes it incredibly hard to follow what is being said.

    I missed the boat on the first version of this Aether project. It seems there was a brief period where people were trying out the software but problems that I'm not competent enough to summarize prevented wider adoption. By the time I discovered it and tried it out, it was virtually dead.

    For the last several months, the author has been working to launch a second version of the platform that addresses those problems. This video summarizes some of the challenges involved when implementing a distributed communication platform and how he approached these problems in his implementation of Aether V2.
