How it works:

• Uses dat-pinning-service-client to talk to pinning services that adhere to DEP 0003
• Can start a local pinning service called dat-pin using dat-pin install-service (uses os-service)
• Runs on 127.0.0.1:3472
• Binds to port 3282 for interacting with the P2P network
• The service uses dat-librarian to manage archives
• The service acts as a discovery gateway for discovery-swarm-stream
