We could build the next piratebay/rarbg entirely on nostr and no one could take it down...🤯

Yes but the way forward is zaps
As an avid torrenter this is something I'd be interested in.
Interesting, how do you envision that looking?
All you need is a chat channel people can follow that posts magnet links.
Chat is too closed, that could work for private trackers but I would prefer open listings with comments.
Simply proposing a new event kind for sharing bittorrent magnetic links with some extra metadata (title, description, media info, size) and building a webclient that can visualize there torrent listings just like in tpb/rarbg.
You can even reply to these events with regular kind=1 notes that would work as comments to the torrent listing and people can zap the listing as part of supporting the original torrent creator.
Nice!!
I'm envisioning a nostr bot that crawls the torrent DHT and that you can DM with a search query, and it sends magnet links to the torrent

That’s a neat idea. One issue is that everyone would know that you’ve communicated with the bot, because DM metadata is not private.
I assume you are referring to building trackers on top of nostr, or file transfers itself?
BitTorrent has already proven to be incredibly resilient
Just sharing magnetic links
Yeah I think that is a great idea
Some (new) kind of content-note adding some metadata to the magnet link would be nice (type, title, author, external links, ...)
- Some webs/apps could be created to put together all those content-note, allowing users to search and to react to them.
- People could validate the quality of the content, react to it (like, zaps, comment).
- A community of users could form around this.
- TBD (to be discovered...)
Exactly
This note inspired me
