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 ?
Let’s say there is no master server. How do peers find each other?
You would need places dedicated to holding this info, similar to a torrent site.
OP could be on to something. A landing page that directs one to a list of peers that contain lists of peers. The list of peers could be held many places. It obviously needs a hierarchial build to be able to grow, but without being on some kind of onion routing there is no anonymity.
My biggest concerns:
