If I remember the history correctly, bittorrent took a few tries to get right after rethinking other p2p file sharing systems like Napster
Amazing how Satoshi Nakamoto basically made cryptocurrency on the first try 🔥

Okay, total doofus question
Wasn’t Skype p2p before Microsoft bought it?
Maybe partly but with a centralized server for logins and stuff, I think
Just googled it. Skype was initially p2p
So, nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 is inventing the Skype of 2008 😂😂
Skype never quite worked well though
It's very important to reach that point where it just works, so it keeps just working
Maybe the #nostr protocol will make p2p more doable
