@splinterofchaos We could actually also just increase the size limit. The mainline bittorrent DHT only guarantees 1000 bytes per key (clients could store more), but we're not using the mainline bittorrent DHT itself, just its protocol.
It would be our first breaking change against mainline DHT, though, so maybe it's worth trying to avoid.

That makes sense, but might the libraries implementing the DHT and protocol decide to reject large messages at any time? If that ever happened, though, I suppose we could use a forked 'n patched version.
Still, if we do stop limiting to the size, a compressed userProfile
would mean transferring the same amount of information using less bandwidth. Though, with network speeds what they are, maybe that's not an issue.

It's the bittorrent-dht
module. It currently enforces the 1000 byte limit; we'd just ask the maintainers to add a constructor option to relax that limit (perhaps by 10-20x in our case).
