I know it probably one of the most asked questions. But I can't find a detailed, or even a simple explanation.

How the software identifies an user without revealing the IP if the core idea of tox is p2p, and a centralized identification makes tox not p2p at all?
Also, some informations about that hash functioning (tox ID) and how it replaces the IP sharing would be great to be at FAQ.

https://toktok.ltd/spec has a detailed explanation. There is an FAQ on https://tox.chat. Maybe we can add more items somewhere.
