For this reason NeoComm works using a [DHT network](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_hash_table), the technology used in torrenting to allow for nodes to aid each other in peer discovery. This means that the more you connect to the network the less reliant you are on any given node and that new users can connect to specific peer nodes if they are blocked to the default entry nodes. This is because the address of nodes from the previous session can be exported onto your hard disk and reused in later sessions, removing the need to rely on the default entry nodes. Roadmap -------
