 # peernet
 
+Peer-to-peer networking for Leofcoin and distributed applications.
+
+## Features
+- Decentralized peer discovery and messaging
+- Pluggable request handlers
+- File and data sharing
+- Works in Node.js, browser, and Electron
+
+## Installation
+
+```sh
+npm install @leofcoin/peernet
+```
+
 ## Usage
+
 ```js
 import Peernet from '@leofcoin/peernet'
 
-
 const config = {
   network: 'leofcoin:peach',
   networkVersion: 'peach',
   stars: ['wss://peach.leofcoin.org']
 }
 
-const node = await new Peernet(config)
-// ... setup some things
+// If your identity is password-protected, prompt for password:
+import passwordPrompt from '@leofcoin/peernet/src/prompts/password/node.js';
+const password = await passwordPrompt();
+
+const node = await new Peernet(config, password)
 await node.start()
 
 console.log(globalThis.peernet)
 ```

 ## API
-#### addRequestHandler
 
-examples
+### addRequestHandler
+Register a handler for custom requests:
+
 ```js
-peernet.addRequestHandler('lastBlock', () => {
-  let response;
+peernet.addRequestHandler('lastBlock', async () => {
   const height = await chainStore.get('localIndex')
   const hash = await chainStore.get('localBlock')
-  response = JSON.stringify({ height: height.toString(), hash: hash.toString() })
+  const response = JSON.stringify({ height: height.toString(), hash: hash.toString() })
   return new ResponseMessage({ response })
   // or
-  return new peernet.protos['peernet-response']({ response })
+  // return new peernet.protos['peernet-response']({ response })
 })
-```
 
-```js
 peernet.addRequestHandler('hello', () => {
   return new ResponseMessage({ response: 'hi' })
-  // or
-  return new peernet.protos['peernet-response']({ response: 'hi' })
 })
-```
-#### add version to peer
-```js
+
 peernet.addRequestHandler('version', () => {
-  return new ResponseMessage({ response: {version: 1} })
+  return new ResponseMessage({ response: { version: 1 } })
 })
 ```
 
-## Development
+### Password Prompt
+For password-protected identities, use the provided prompt:
 
-`note: you need to install jsproject`
-```sh
-npm i -g @vandeurenglenn/project
+- **Node.js:** `import passwordPrompt from '@leofcoin/peernet/src/prompts/password/node.js'`
+- **Browser:** `import passwordPrompt from '@leofcoin/peernet/src/prompts/password/browser.js'`
+
+```js
+const password = await passwordPrompt();
+const node = await new Peernet(config, password);
 ```

+## In-Memory Broadcasts
+
+Peernet supports in-memory data sharing for fast, temporary distribution of files or data objects between peers. This feature allows you to broadcast a file or data object, which is then available for retrieval by other peers (or yourself) until the process is restarted or the in-memory cache is cleared.
+
+### Usage Example
+
+```js
+// Broadcast a file or data object in-memory
+const fileObj = {
+  path: '/example',
+  content: new TextEncoder().encode('hello world'),
+  links: []
+};
+const hash = await peernet.broadcast(fileObj);
+
+// Another peer can request the data by hash
+// (handled internally by peernet.handleData)
 ```
-### compile
-```sh
-npm run c
+
+### Detailed Example
+
+```js
+// 1. Broadcast a file object in-memory
+const fileObj = {
+  path: '/example',
+  content: new TextEncoder().encode('Hello Peernet!'),
+  links: []
+};
+const hash = await peernet.broadcast(fileObj);
+console.log('Broadcasted hash:', hash);
+
+// 2. Simulate a peer requesting the data by hash
+const mockPeer = {
+  connected: true,
+  send: async (data, id) => {
+    // Handle the received data (for demo/testing)
+    const DataResponseProto = globalThis.peernet.protos['peernet-data-response'];
+    const decodedProto = await new DataResponseProto(data);
+    await decodedProto.decode();
+    const decodedContent = new TextDecoder().decode(decodedProto.decoded.data);
+    console.log('Received content:', decodedContent);
+  }
+};
+const proto = { decoded: { hash } };
+await peernet.handleData(mockPeer, 'test-id', proto);
+```
+
+### Data Flow Diagram
+
+```
+[You/Peer] --(broadcast)--> [Peernet Node: In-Memory Map]
+     ^                                 |
+     |                                 |
+     +------(handleData request)--------+
 ```
-### serve html
+
+- `broadcast()` stores the data in-memory and returns a hash.
+- `handleData()` retrieves the data by hash and sends it to the requesting peer.
+
+- The broadcasted data is stored in-memory and is not persisted to disk.
+- Retrieval is by hash, matching the value returned from `broadcast()`.
+- The feature is useful for ephemeral data, rapid prototyping, or testing.
+- If the process restarts, the in-memory data is lost.
+
+### Testing
+
+Automated tests verify that broadcasting and retrieving in-memory data works as expected, including content integrity and hash matching.
+
+## Development
