    Type messages to send (press Enter to send):

You can then start typing messages in either terminal and see them relayed to the other terminal. The messages will be distributed using the GossipSub protocol to all peers subscribed to the same topic. To exit the demo, type "quit" or send a keyboard interrupt (``Ctrl+C``) in either terminal.
