title: Peer to Peer: Methods of Finding Peers
body: <p>Are there any known methods of finding peers without using a dedicated central server?</p>
  
  <p>ie: If I have peers which are disconnecting and reconnecting to the internet but getting a new IP address each time, and I want to connect to them without setting up a dedicated server to register with.</p>
  
  <p>I was thinking about using peers email address to send a manifest of connected peers periodically, with some sort of timecode, negating the need for a dedicated server.  This would be a fallback if none of the peers could be connected to after trying all the previously known peer addresses.  But existing models of finding peers would be preferable.</p>
