Not sure if you'll see this now. Having looked over TeleHash 2, I have quite a few concerns about the complexity of the protocol. It's hard to tell what is being accomplished at each step and why. The way things are composed and layered definitely needs explanation. For instance, signatures are encrypted, and there's a mix of RSA and EC, why?
My cousin post in this larger thread might answer most of your questions.
Quick answers: the RSA + EC mix roughly mirrors TLS. The signature encryption is a recent update to make network analysis harder on passive listeners.
Most of the implementors are hanging out in XMPP:theroom@conference.jabber.org until Telehash-based chat is stable (a month maybe?). We'd love to get more feedback.
