Basically torrent is just a much simpler protocol with a proven track record. You can add webseeds to a magnet link, meaning you can include an http hosted copy in the swarm, which is great for bootstrapping a swarm.

I’m still learning these details myself but I think Nostr will mean lots of renewed interest in Torrents

#[1]​, is one key takeaway that a MerkleDAG-based Version Control System - if created effectively - would be ideal? Like from the InterPlanetary Link Data protocol?

#[2]

Working in the open -

anyone use: Swarm, Dat, Tahoe-LAFS, Storj, or Sia?

Reading up on those now.

Alright, attempt #2 here soon. Share what you want to see, and thoughts. 🥅 = ♾️
