# destinations we create. Since this basic example
# is part of a range of example utilities, we'll put

# Using the identity we just created, we create a destination.
# Destinations are endpoints in Reticulum, that can be addressed
# and communicated with. Destinations can also announce their
# existence, which will let the network know they are reachable
# and autoomatically create paths to them, from anywhere else
# in the network.

# We configure the destination to automatically prove all
# packets adressed to it. By doing this, RNS will automatically
# generate a proof for each incoming packet and transmit it
# back to the sender of that packet. This will let anyone that
# tries to communicate with the destination know whether their
# communication was received correctly.

# If the user hits enter, we will announce our server
# destination on the network, which will let clients
# know how to create messages directed towards it.
