"Why didnt anyone think of that before?".

Was the first thing I thought when I read through #pubkey. Reusing the 10 million node bittorrent network is genius and already provably censorship resistant for 15 years.

You dont have to build up your own network of relays because millions of people run bittorrent already. You dont need special hardware because there are so many bittorrent clients.

Censorship resitance is a reality and anyone can run a node. That's not to say the nostr relay network isnt useful, it is very useful. But reusing bittorrent just takes things to a new level.
