Keith, you should always invite yourself to start (at least from the API
perspective, by calling newgroupinvite after creategroup - UI will probably
make creation + self invite a single operation). So invitation will be
stored on your own torrent, encrypted with your own key.

Each device will decrypt this invitation and will create a local group
alias for it. Alias is just a string starting with * and followed by 8
random letters, like "*ifmqyhsn".

So your Mac and Android will have different local group aliases referring
to the same group.

Alias is only used for twisterd-frontend communication. User should be
presented with "group description" which is the same string.

regards,

Miguel
