Description

This is what I did

$ dhtkv put "nicola"
e8da214959c50a0a9e62528c6109501d85943588
$ dhtkv get e8da214959c50a0a9e62528c6109501d85943588
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/dhtkv/index.js:20
      console.log(res.v.toString())
                     ^

TypeError: Cannot read property 'v' of null

Research direction

Start with index.js at line 20 and reproduce the issue using the shown dhtkv put and get commands. Trace why the get callback receives null before accessing res.v; done means the command handles this lookup result without crashing and reports an appropriate outcome.
