It's pretty much a collaborative and social experiment where I wanted to explore the concept of using in-browser cryptocurrency mining as a monetization and bot fighting method (something I had a problem with in the original Ludum Dare entry it's based on). That's a different discussion though. (You need to manually start the mining and you can explore the map without doing it. It's only when digging and chatting it's required.)
I'm actually planning on rewriting the whole backend in a more traditional Node.js + WebSockets stack so no, I probably wouldn't do it again for this type of application. However, I will probably use it again for other things.
Now that you've been through it, would you do it again? Or stick to a more traditional architecture?
