Different animals. Blossom delivers what IPFS only promised which is great for small individual files (image) repeated ad eternum that were depending on URLs.
Torrents are great for large volumes of data where the load is better/faster shared by many hosts.
People are pacient enough to wait a minute for one torrent to start (torrent initialization and swarm search), they wouldn't be patient to wait one minute for a small image to load.
Other than that, I'm a big fan of torrents too.
Ok, I relent, this sounds reasonable
Congratulations on being the nostr dev that has convinced me to stop talking out my ass about Blossom 🤙
Hey, we should be fighting on the these posts or whatever 😂
Anyways, what I'd really like to see working one day on NOSTR would be something like this: https://geti2p.net/en/docs/how/intro
But simply also far of reach for now. Nevertheless I'll check the possibility of adding torrent support on this device.
I fundamentally believe BitTorrent is better at decentralization for a very obscure reason: because its "bencoding" data format is geographically neutral, doesn't force users to encode any English language terminology
The nostr protocol has English forced with how it uses json
But if Blossom is useful, hopefully the encoding formats can be upgraded in the future
