I looked at this project quite a while ago. It seems really interesting but I'd like to see more example projects that build on top of it to really get a gist of what it is good for.

I've heard that the API is being re-factored almost completely at the moment.

Would someone be able to post exactly what's being done?

It is indeed in the process of being refactored, to make it easier to adopt and use in parts.

The Telehash developers are now working on Layer.com

look that this is going into another direction..

"...generate it's own unique..." should be "...generate its own unique..."

I made a pull request for that: https://github.com/telehash/telehash.org/pull/61
