Hello PSS

Swarm hello world

# Geth new account
geth account new
echo "0ab9f275308307188de76f82cbc08a5258b03110" >> alice.tmp

# Get rid of password prompt later
echo "" >> password.tmp

# Start swarm node
swarm --bzzaccount `cat alice.tmp`

# Test up and down
swarm up README.md > readme-ref.tmp
swarm down bzz:/`cat readme-ref.tmp` test.tmp

Feeds

# Using human readable topic, can equally well use --topic
swarm --bzzaccount `cat alice.tmp` feed create --name "bob"
# Returns feed manifest
# 2a0ddb7d63cc4926d168697da1ad76bdad3782611c8f75bd1ce2f8b5e096b6e0

# XXX: What's the difference? Doesn't it use bzzapi and use local instance by default?
swarm --bzzaccount `cat alice.tmp` --bzzapi http://localhost:8500 feed create --name "bob"
# 2a0ddb7d63cc4926d168697da1ad76bdad3782611c8f75bd1ce2f8b5e096b6e0

# XXX: What to do with feed manifest? How get it?

# Posting to a feed using name/topic/manifest, need hex, example here
swarm --bzzaccount `cat alice.tmp` feed update --name bob 0x68656c6c6f2031

# Reading feed info 
swarm --bzzaccount `cat alice.tmp` feed info --name "bob"

# `hello 1` = hex above? +1

# Posting message to feed 
echo "Hello world" > message
# Need right format for hex

# Hello world

We can use --user to refer to another person as opposed to bzzaccount by default.
