The existence of #Nostr makes #Bitcoin stronger.

It’s important not to forget that one of the critical attack vectors against Bitcoin is controlling communication channels. The internet is an underlying layer to Bitcoin. Encrypted chat, decentralized/federated networks, P2P file transfer, P2P markets, IP address protection protocols - these things can be just as important as coinjoins, signature aggregation, stratum v2, lightning, etc.

All of these *compound* their benefits when used together among a group. #Nostr and #Holepunch are some of the most important things happening in bitcoin, imo. They are solving problems on layer 0.

Is about torrents on Nostr. I thought you would like it because you are interested in Holepunch

Just curious how torrents relate to holepunch?

I'm not an expert on that topic but the hypercores and the things around Holepunch have their systems of communications and transmission of information in a torrent encrypted form, storing information distributed through all nodes in the network (not on centralized servers)

The benefit of this is that your information can't be accessed by anyone, it doesn't relay on centralized servers and information can flow pretty quickly with low bandwidth. Something awesome to make things like videogames, I guess 🤷.

Theoretically, you can make any app in this way, but the problem seems to be the lack of incentives to be part of the network or to develop the apps
