When’s the last time you tried? It must be much faster now. Check: https://probelab.io/ipfs/dht/#chart-ipfs-dht-lookup-performa...

We've been doing quite extensive measurements over several parts of the architecture, which you can find here: https://probelab.io/

Still lots to optimise, but wouldn't say it's unusable. In fact, performance is pretty good for a decentralised P2P network.

You should check out drand (https://drand.love), which is based on threshold cryptography and the group running the network is composed of 16 independent organisations, none of which can manipulate or predict the next beacon. Beacons can be consumed from the public HTTP APIs (https://drand.love/developer/http-api/).

Lots of exciting features to land very soon that include Timelock Encryption, among several others.

Technical explainer can be found here: https://research.protocol.ai/tutorials/resnetlab-on-tour/dra... and documentation here: https://drand.love/docs/
