Harder to do zap splits among seeders since you would have to trust a centralized tracker that accounts who seeded what, associated IPs with npub (bad idea) and dynamically changed the split.

Sounds like that would be better accomplished on an entirely different protocol that doesn't need so many centralizing tradeoffs.

I disagree with the point about associating IPs to npubs.

if you aren't already using a VPN to access the internet, you have bigger problems than nostr integrating torrents.

Most people use nostr and torrent over VPN anyway.

Most people absolutely do not use Nostr with a VPN. Many, but I bet it's only a single percentage of users.

I know someone with almost no interest in digital privacy who uses Mozilla VPN regularly on their iPhone. I think a lot of people use VPNs, even if they don't understand the actual benefits of them.
