This build on the libp2p-based CafeService for thread backup. The basic components are...

  • An inbox(es) is advertised to thread peers via thread block headers
  • When a host needs to send a thread message to a thread peer, it first tries to send the message direct (in practice it's queued). If this fails, the message is encrypted and sent direct to the peer's cafe inbox(es) (again, in practice it's queued)
  • When the recipient comes back online, it can "check for mail" in its inbox(es)
