It’s choking on your swarm key because it’s expecting either bin, base16, or base64

Here’s some hints which is the line blowing up on ya…

github.com

libp2p/go-libp2p-core/blob/master/pnet/codec.go

package pnet

import (
	"bufio"
	"bytes"
	"encoding/base64"
	"encoding/hex"
	"fmt"
	"io"
)

var (
	pathPSKv1  = []byte("/key/swarm/psk/1.0.0/")
	pathBin    = "/bin/"
	pathBase16 = "/base16/"
	pathBase64 = "/base64/"
)

func readHeader(r *bufio.Reader) ([]byte, error) {
	header, err := r.ReadBytes('\n')

Thanx! I’m a newbie, so I can’t really say that I understand very well your post. But I effectively realized, a few moments after I posted my message, that the error was somewhat linked to the swarm.key file.
