so another use case.
i described here that i created that bonjour yggdrasil bridge. but it has some limitations, so i had to fork pidgin's bonjour plugin and create barev plugin.
it now supports flie transfers, status changes, of course chats, all over yggdrasil.
i'll write in details later.
we are testing it, and it works well.
next we'll write a mobile app and linux program and we came up with the solution on how to treat several devices with different ipv6 addresses as devices of the same person and send messages to all of them.

What is the purpose of Yggdrasil? — Could someone explain the purpose of this network? There is surprisingly little out there -- nothing on wikipedia, and the github site is strangely obtuse. Is this just a networking protocol? encrypted transport? What am I supposed to do with it and why would I?
