As far as I know, nobody uses circle any more...

If you want to bootstrap a new network, I think it used to be:
!node.activate_hashtable()

This is typed in the chat window. Normally, circle automatically connects to 
an existing network "out there"; however, it's been some years since there 
has really been an existing circle network, so you have to start it manually.

For instance, if you want to put four computers into a circle network:
  - start up circle on computer A
  - type into A:
      !node.activate_hashtable()
  - start up circle on computers B, C, D
  - tell B, C, D to connect to peer A

Once the network is up, peers can leave and re-join automatically.
