I haven’t needed this until now. I had a balanced merkle tree (bittorrent v2 infohashes with branching factor of 2 and 16KiB blocks) so its perfect for that.

Most of the notes don’t have 1Kb. That said maybe isn’t need to think about complex torrent implementation for notes.

Torrents for #nostr is more about decentralization topology and reform of relays.

Relay becoming DHT, peer discovery and public stuff.

The content being ripped of the relays and going to p2p publishers.

Publishers sometimes are paid-relays with private contents. Sometimes it’s the user itself #p2p controlling who view his posts, storing likes and moderating replies.

User being in total control of the content is the game changer.

I call it “a better nostr” or reNostr.

I am not planning on using BitTorrent v2 for replicating notes, but as a potential way to share files parallel to the protocol like we use lightning for money.

I see. ***So the relay keep in control***. Hope soon Google run it’s relay so we can all move to the biggest server again.

Also the spammers started to attack #nostr threads and there’s nothing a relay can do to stop it.

Maybe Google can help to filter it with their AI and their agenda is back again. /s

It’s like an open Twitter now.
