I really enjoyed learning about all the concepts [0] and it's amazing what libp2p is doing for you behind the scenes - I'm thinking especially of NAT handling and relaying. I think the APIs to have simple, sequential request/response communication with a peer could be easier. How to close communication and be sure data was received by the peer was also a tricky one. Just because you have written the data to the libp2p stream doesn't mean it was transferred to your peer. So I was continuously closing the stream too early, which resulted in data loss. Took me a little while to figure this one out. I can recommend having a look at the examples [1] if you're planning to build your project in Go. They helped me a lot to understand how the APIs are supposed to be used. At a few points there outdated though - especially how to close streams (I j

There is a repo with simple examples to help get started - https://github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p-examples People in IRC channels - #libp2p @ freenode (or #ipfs) - should be able to answer most of your other questions (I work for PL, on go-ipfs and occasionally libp2p)
