Nostr Web Client

Do people actually torrent from their phones? I mean sure it'd be cool for a nostr client to respond to magnet links/torrent files, but don't users want a separate app to manage the torrent session in that case? Personally I use a thin client to manage my torrents on a machine dedicated for that use and organize accordingly.

Automatically seeding torrents while opening a bunch of websocket connections to relays just seems...... wrong. Not looking to seed some stranger's cat pictures scrolling through my nostr feed

Or am I just too old to understand what people use? 🥹

Also it's all well and working nicely as it is now. So there is no pressure. Until nostr becomes "public enemy" and the media silos disappear over night.

Not a problem for most cat memes and AI generated bitcoin logos, but not great for important content. Esp. when you can't edit the notes to point at a different address, breaking a lot of content permanently.

Not that torrent is perfect as seeders can disappear overnight as well. There would need to be many big ones.

Valuable content in old notes will get reposted just like old torrents 🙂 no worries

Notes don't need to last forever

I'm sure most of it will.

I'm also aware that not everyone cares about the old notes. Only the "tip of the spear" is important to them. I'm not in that camp, there is a lot of knowledge tossed around that you might like to find later on. There are events that will help to fight some future fights for freedom if you can point to them as an evidence.
