Well, crypto and BitTorrent work pretty well

If I remember the history correctly, bittorrent took a few tries to get right after rethinking other p2p file sharing systems like Napster

Amazing how Satoshi Nakamoto basically made cryptocurrency on the first try ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Okay, total doofus question

Wasnโ€™t Skype p2p before Microsoft bought it?

Maybe partly but with a centralized server for logins and stuff, I think

Just googled it. Skype was initially p2p

So, nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 is inventing the Skype of 2008 ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Skype never quite worked well though

It's very important to reach that point where it just works, so it keeps just working

Maybe the #nostr protocol will make p2p more doable

We should at least have p2p data integrity assurance / clients cooperating to audit relays whenever you interact with a post from a user that's currently online

Iโ€™ll pretend I understood that ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Thanks for explaining the benefits of p2p though

Thatโ€™s why nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 is excited ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
