Usage

Create stream from a secret key

var createStream = require('hypercore-stream')
var signatures = require('sodium-signatures')

var keys = signatures.keyPair()
var stream = createStream(keys.secretKey)
stream.write('hello')
stream.once('data', function (block) {
  console.log(block.toString()) // hello
})

API

var stream = createStream([key], [options])

key is either a public or private key. If it is a public key, then the stream will be readable only. If it is a private key, then the stream will be both readable and writable. If it is undefined, then a new feed is made and its public and private keys are given by stream.key and stream.secretKey.

All options are optional.
