I’m sorry this idea is kind of hard to explain. Like if you had a torrent, but every week or so you’d have new interesting stuff to discover from it ?
LIke a “torrent channel” but fully decentralized somehow ?
Maybe you’d just get more torrents to choose from. Large, searchable torrent archives, “this week’s new torrents” ?
What about receiving news video, streams without a website to coordinate it, no gatekeeper except the digital signature of the strangers you trust ?
Like, why isn’t facebook a torrent network ? Why isn’t youtube, just torrents ? Facebook and youtube without having to ask Zuck and Goog for permission ?
Those still need some webserver running, at a specific place and a specific ICANN acredited registrar, subject to centralized control, shutdown, censorship, with it’s shadowy, unaccountable invisible gatekeepers and traceable, definitive owners in ways that torrent swarms just aren’t.
Is there nothing that puts everything in the swarm ? Posts that aren’t in “one place”. Distribution channels with no choke points.
The thing with a .torrent file is that it will never have anything new in it. Nobody is going to post a comment inside of it. It’s not going to hold a discussion and point to you new or newer things like it.
I’m grasping at something that doesn’t exist yet and doesn’t have a mind, but I think it should it exist, it should already exist, somehow but it doesn’t !?
Let’s say there is no master server. How do peers find each other?
